Allergy-Friendly Advent Calendars

While I am jumping ahead a couple of holidays with this post, I was too excited to find the following allergy-friendly advent calendars to not share.  As a child I LOVED opening up the daily windows/doors of my advent calendar.   Because of my son’s allergies, he can not have chocolate so those calendars are out of the question for now.


However, check out these allergy-friendly options:

1) The Lego Advent Calendar (Allergy-free)

2) Play-Doh Advent Calendar (We still can’t use this one due to my son’s wheat allergy.  However, it may help others who do not have this allergy.)
