Once Upon a New Year's Garden. Advent Calendar

Few people have heard of the tangerine men. But even fewer have heard of their magical greenhouse, where they grow New Year trees! The men water the trees with tangerine jelly, play New Year melodies for them, comb the branches with special brushes, read fairy tales aloud. And all this so that in December you and I can choose the best tree at the Christmas tree market, which will delight us throughout the winter holidays (and for some, even in the spring).

Usually the atmosphere in the greenhouse is cheerful and friendly. But this year something went wrong. Instead of New Year's music, laughter and joyful greetings - there is a rumble, noise and crying. And it seems like a scared cat is meowing somewhere... It's good that Dolka came there. He will help figure out what is happening in the greenhouse. Let's run after him?

How to play

1. Cut out the little man with the tree in advance. Make an origami stand for it from an A4 sheet of paper (you will find the instructions for the stand on the card).

2. On December 17, read the beginning of the fairy tale with your child, meet the main characters and start the game. Together with Dolka, you need to catch up with the Christmas Cow at all costs!

3. Read the text on the card and find the place in the greenhouse where Dolka ran using the clues.

4. To find out what happened there, go back in time. To do this, put the magic magnifying glass on the poster right at the scene of the incident and compare the two pictures. This is a magic magnifying glass. Put it on the poster at the right place and find out what happened there.

5. Help Dolka clean up. Stick a big sticker on the scene and find out how it all ended. And also, by comparing the sticker and the poster, you will notice what the Christmas Cow lost.

6. Stick a sticker with the item that the Christmas Cow lost on Dolka's tree and at the same time see how many days are left until the New Year.

7. Find on the poster what else can be decorated and who needs help, and stick on small stickers.

8. On the back of the card there is a New Year's master class. Master classes can be swapped or not done at all! But if you want to make something, prepare the necessary materials in advance.

9. If you want to give your child small gifts or sweets during the game, add a note to the Dolki stand indicating the place where the surprise is hidden.
