For the first time EVER, Mont Marte has made an advent calendar!
Please note: this is a pre-order item and will not ship immediately. Pre-orders are expected to dispatch in the last week of September or first week of October 2026.
12 days. 12 festive makes. Zero boring bits.
Meet the Mont Marte 12 Day Creative Clay Christmas Advent Calendar: 63 pieces of squishy, colourful Christmas fun hiding behind 12 little doors.
The Christmas countdown just got creative
Chocolate advent calendars are lovely. But you know what is even better? Opening a door and finding a brand-new Christmas character waiting to be squished into existence.
Behind each of the 12 doors is a 24g tub of Mont Marte Creative Clay, with four colours selected for that day's festive project. Follow the step-by-step instructions to make reindeer, baubles, Christmas puddings, gingerbread characters and more. The projects range from one to three stars, so makers can start simple and build their sculpting skills as Christmas gets closer.
It is designed for ages 6 and over, but there is absolutely no rule saying the grown-ups have to keep their hands off it. Kids, teens, crafty adults and anyone who takes Christmas decorating a little too seriously will have a very good time with this one.
And the cleverest bit? The front of the box folds out into a gingerbread village, ready to display the little crew as they appear. Add the hooks and glitter strings and your favourites can go straight onto the Christmas tree, wonky noses and all.
Why this advent calendar is a bit special
A Mont Marte first
This is the first advent calendar Mont Marte has ever released. We have been waiting for an art advent calendar like this—and we suspect plenty of you have too.
It is a real art activity
Every door opens to a complete clay project, not another tiny trinket. Makers practise rolling, shaping, smoothing and adding details as the difficulty grows.
You get to keep the magic
The finished characters can live in the fold-out village or hang on the tree. Today's funny little reindeer could become the decoration you unpack every Christmas.
What will you make?
The 12-day countdown is packed with festive Creative Clay projects. Six characters shown on the box include:
Reindeer
Christmas tree
Bauble
Christmas pudding
Holly wreath
Gingerbread character
What is inside the 63-piece advent calendar?
Also included: fold-out step-by-step project instructions with one- to three-star difficulty ratings. Scan the QR code on the pack for French and Spanish instructions.
Open. Squish. Make. Display.

Creative Clay advent calendar FAQs
When will my pre-order be shipped?
This is a pre-order and is not available for immediate dispatch. Stock is expected to ship from Art Shed during the last week of September or the first week of October 2026.
Is this the first Mont Marte advent calendar?
Yes. This is the first advent calendar Mont Marte has ever released, making it a particularly exciting launch for artists, crafters, and Mont Marte fans.
Is it suitable for adults and teenagers?
Absolutely. The recommended age is 6+, but the cute clay projects and one- to three-star difficulty range make it fun for teenagers and crafty adults, too.
Do the clay characters need to be baked?
No. Mont Marte Creative Clay air-dries, so you do not need an oven, kiln, or any extra equipment.
Can the finished characters hang on the Christmas tree?
Yes. The calendar includes 16 hooks and 16 glitter strings so you can turn your favourite finished characters into Christmas tree ornaments.
Why does the advent calendar have 12 days?
Each door contains a complete clay activity rather than a quick treat. Begin on 13 December, make one project a day, and finish on Christmas Eve.
Make the countdown the best bit of Christmas.
Art advent calendars are still wonderfully rare in Australia, and this is Mont Marte's very first. Pre-order yours now, then prepare for 12 days of festive squishing.
