KiwiCo has put three DIY holiday advent calendars on sale: Snowy Sports Ornaments, Motorized Christmas Train and Santa’s Railroad. The Snowy Sports kit includes 12 winter-sport ornament projects, is listed at $49.95 and is marked for ages 5 and up; pricing and age guidance for the other two kits were not provided in the source report.
KiwiCo has launched three DIY holiday advent calendars, offering families craft and building projects as alternatives to calendars centered on candy or small gifts. The lineup includes the 12-day Snowy Sports Ornaments calendar, a motorized Christmas train kit and a holiday-village project; The Toy Insider reported that the products were available through KiwiCo when its article was published.
The Snowy Sports Ornaments Advent Calendar contains 12 ornament-making projects, each themed around a winter sport. The Toy Insider describes examples including gingerbread figure skaters and ski-jumping reindeer, and says many of the finished ornaments can move, spin, climb or jump. The kit is listed with a suggested retail price of $49.95 and an age recommendation of 5 and up.
KiwiCo’s other two named kits offer different kinds of activities. The Motorized Christmas Train Advent Calendar is described as a project for building an electric train, while Santa’s Railroad Advent Calendar is presented as a way to make a holiday village. The source report does not specify how many days or individual builds are included in either kit.
The Toy Insider says the calendars are available through KiwiCo’s website. Its report does not provide prices, age ranges, availability by country, shipping terms or a full list of materials for the train and village products. It also notes that The Toy Insider may earn revenue through affiliate links when readers make purchases through links on its site.
Craft Projects Replace Daily Treats
The lineup gives shoppers a holiday countdown option built around hands-on projects rather than a daily candy or trinket reveal. For families looking for activities to do together, the ornament calendar offers a sequence of creations that can also become holiday decorations, while the train and village kits focus on construction.
KiwiCo and The Toy Insider frame the activities as ways for children to use creativity, curiosity and motor skills. Those are promotional descriptions, not findings from an independent evaluation in the supplied report. The clearest practical details for shoppers are the Snowy Sports kit’s 12 projects, its $49.95 listed price and its age recommendation; comparable details for the other two products are not stated.

Three Kits, Different Holiday Builds
The announcement is presented as a seasonal product lineup, not as a change to KiwiCo’s broader subscription offerings. The products share a countdown format but differ in what children make: the Snowy Sports kit centers on individual ornaments, the Motorized Christmas Train focuses on an electric train build, and Santa’s Railroad is described as a festive village project.
The source material identifies Snowy Sports Ornaments as a 12-day calendar. It does not say whether the train and village kits follow the same 12-day format, nor does it give their recommended ages or retail prices. The Toy Insider article includes product details supplied by KiwiCo and directs readers to the company’s website for the wider lineup.

Prices and Kit Details Still Missing
The supplied report gives a $49.95 price and age recommendation of 5+ only for Snowy Sports Ornaments. It does not provide those details for the Motorized Christmas Train or Santa’s Railroad, or specify their project counts, contents, assembly requirements or whether tools are needed.
The exact date the calendars became available is also not stated, and the source material does not confirm current inventory or shipping availability. Descriptions of skill-building benefits come from the product coverage; the report includes no independent testing or research measuring those outcomes.
Check Listings Before Ordering
Families interested in the products can check KiwiCo’s current listings for prices, age guidance, kit contents and shipping details. Those listings are the next point of reference because the source report provides full product facts only for Snowy Sports Ornaments and says the broader lineup is available through the company’s site.
Any later updates would need to confirm whether all three calendars remain in stock and supply the missing specifications for the train and village kits. Until then, the confirmed comparison is limited: 12 ornament projects for ages 5+ in the Snowy Sports calendar, alongside two other named holiday-build options whose listed details were not included in the report.
