1. Create Your Own Advent Calendar

Use old boxes like the Stapelstein® packaging made from grass paper, 24 Stapelstein® elements, matchboxes, or empty toilet paper rolls to create a creative and sustainable Advent calendar. Instead of sweets, write down 24 small activities that you want to do together as a family or with friends. Shared time is the best gift!

2. Donate Toys

During the Christmas season, many second-hand stores are flooded with used toys – but often only after the holidays. Why not donate a toy beforehand and make sure it brings joy to someone else at Christmas?

3. Light Magic

During the Christmas season, lights sparkle everywhere. Take a walk to soak in the festive mood. Tip: Even when playing with Stapelstein®, you can quickly conjure up a light show. All you need is a battery-operated string of lights and Stapelstein® elements. Children love playing with light, and it is a wonderful decoration idea for the light season.

4. Homemade Gifts

Homemade gifts are something very special. From creative crafts made from natural materials to lovingly designed cards to homemade treats – these unique items bring a smile to everyone's face and make the connection palpable.

5. Less is More

Amidst the Christmas hustle and bustle, less is often more. Focus on valuable family time at home. Whether it's stick bread by the campfire, a movie night with popcorn, cookies, and family punch, or a Stapelstein® game afternoon with the classics “Stapelstein® Activity,” “The Floor is Lava,” and “Fire, Water, Tower” – create memories that last.

6. Christmas in Stories and Songs

Cuddle up with tea or cocoa under a blanket and dive into the magic of Christmas with books and stories. Accompany songs with Stapelstein® elements as drums. Let this become a daily ritual that excites children!
