Looking for a unique and thoughtful advent gift for children this Christmas? Forget the chocolate calendars and plastic toys - our Wild Advent Colouring Books bring festive joy with a creative twist. Designed to spark imagination and a love of wildlife, these colouring books are a meaningful way to count down to Christmas, and they’re perfect for parents, grandparents, or anyone searching for a special advent present.
With two beautiful editions to choose from - British Wildlife and Global Wildlife - you can find the ideal gift for the little animal lover in your life. Plus, we offer gift wrapping and direct delivery, so your surprise advent gift can be sent straight to the recipient for that extra bit of Christmas magic.
What Makes the Advent Colouring Book So Special?
Each day in December, children open up to a new festive wildlife illustrations to colour, creating 24 moments of calm and creativity in the lead-up to Christmas. Instead of a sugar rush or plastic waste, they get a daily opportunity to relax, focus, and learn about different animals.
British Wildlife Edition – Celebrate the creatures found close to home, from badgers and hedgehogs to deer and toads. Perfect for teaching children about the wonders of nature on their doorstep.
Global Wildlife Edition – Take kids on a colouring journey around the world, featuring exotic species like giraffes, Andean bears, and lemurs with a seasonal twist.
Whichever you choose, the Advent Colouring Book is more than a Christmas countdown - it’s an educational gift that inspires curiosity about the natural world. The books include a list of featured species at the backs, so children can meet new animals and learn as they count down the days.
The Joy of Gifting Something Thoughtful
December is all about little moments of joy, and the Advent Colouring Book makes it easy to give a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving. Unlike one-off presents, it’s an experience that lasts 24 days in a row, building anticipation right up to Christmas Eve. That’s why these colouring books have become so popular with:
Grandparents looking for something memorable and screen-free.
Parents who want a festive activity to enjoy together.
Aunts, uncles, and family friends who want a surprise gift that stands out.
With our gift-wrapping option, you can send the colouring book straight to the recipient for the perfect advent surprise. We will wrap the book in festive (recycled) tissue paper, finished with an adorable Christmas owl sticker, and include a personalised hand-written gift message. We'll pack the order and post it so it arrives with the recipient in the last week of November.
Why Choose an Advent Colouring Book Over a Chocolate Calendar?
Let’s face it: most advent calendars last only a few seconds each morning before the chocolate is gone. Our colouring books, on the other hand, offer:
Daily creativity – Each page provides a mindfulness moment for kids.
Educational value – Children learn about animals and nature while colouring.
Keepsake factor – By Christmas, they’ll have a book full of coloured wildlife illustrations to treasure.
Eco-friendly gifting – No unnecessary plastic or waste; the books are made in the UK using recycled paper.
It’s a festive tradition parents will love just as much as children.
