Blue Marble 2026 Glow in the Dark Science Advent Calendar for Kids

I got this for myself, I'm a 34 year old adult :) I saw it on sale for $9 bucks on Black Friday and wish I had grabbed a couple because it's a steal- even at the full price. I'm not a paid reviewer (maybe one day?) I just was really pleased and surprised by this! I want you to get this for your kiddo or yourself if you're pondering because I really think it's worth it. At the time of this review it's listed for about $16 last I looked. I love glow in the dark, I love space theme and I love dinos, I really enjoy hands on activities too and this had everything. At first glance I thought I was just getting little glow figures, which I thought "Okay sick 24 little glow figures to place around my room or add with gifts for friends etc." but it ended up being way cooler! If you don't want spoilers for what's inside then stop reading here. I loved that this was a really unique advent calendar and I honestly wish more were like this!! I got several glow figures, 3 space themed sun catchers to paint with glowing paints, 4 rocks with paints and dino stencils to decorate them with, an invisible ink marker that came with a little uv light to read the messages, And TWO bouncy ball molds with the powder mix to make them. Oh and a crystal which was maybe the most disappointing part as it just is a rough cut with a tiny plastic stand but honestly the quality of this whole product was very impressive. The packaging was well made and designed all the compartments are fully separated and the punch out parts are firm but easy to open. I didn't end up using this as an advent because it was just a cheap treat to myself and my inner child and I was really curious to know what I got for the price so I opened the whole thing and had such joy doing so. Just had to come make a review because I want other people to know how cool it was and so that this company does well and keeps making them !! Can we get year round goal oriented advents? Whoever put this together, bravo, get a raise🙌

These worked perfect for Christmas in August.

Very fun product! The kit comes with all the pieces it should , and is a fun count down. All the parts function well.

We loved opening a new slot every morning. All the glow in the dark stuff is so cool. My daughter was thrilled especially with the invisible ink marker and light. It's a great way to start the Christmas season. The variety of stuff is pretty good but some did repeat with a similar item but we didn't mind that. At this price point you cannot go wrong. Will buy a similar one next year.

I got this calendar on sale several months before and I thought that I got a good deal. Unfortunately, that was not the case. You get the cheapest possible small plastic sea creatures with a couple of supposed ly glow in the dark powder with no instructions. Sadly the small creatures do not glow and I feel like I disappointee my child witht eh calendar.

I actually bought this fur my 46 year old husband LOL! It’s a bunch of fun but moms don’t worry, it’s not a heavy time consuming task each day. Sone are figures or invisible ink and a light. Fun holiday advent calendar. While I bake and we watch holiday movies hubby does the time intensive projects on the weekend. It is gender neutral as there are dinosaurs and unicorns. Also couldn’t beat the Black Friday price!!!

Literally just had a bunch of “glow in the dark” figurines. Also- make sure you save any unused product because you’ll need it for later days to open!

My kids lived this advent calendar and used it last year. Was fun to open daily and the pieces did glow in the dark.

5 stars for sure, was my first year ditching the chocolate advant calandera for my kids and zero regrets from either my kids or myself. My 7year old son had picked this one, we had an amazing time together learning and doing the crafts. Excellent value for money, great Educational value and Fun for kids.

Well stuff inside seems fun, but the packaging is so delicate when I removed from brown box three of the doors pushed in.. the side that you slide product tray into fun box, was ripped and damaged just from postal ladies handling to my handling .. I recommend purple cow products over this hands down .

So fun lots of little trinkets, tasks and activities to do making each morning fun to open

Every year I search for an advent calendar for my twins. I prefer to get them something filled with toys or activities since they had their fill of chocolate after a busy Halloween. Great price point, the surprises inside are a decent size, and there’s a good variety of contents to mix it up.

Neat idea, daughter loves it however some of the products are not any good to use as they separated or firmed up. So while idea is good, product could be better.
