Why Our Countdown to Christmas Pyjama Set is a must-have this December
If you’re looking for a fun, festive and creative way to build excitement throughout December, our Countdown to Christmas Colour-In Pyjamas might just become your new favourite tradition.
Unlike chocolate advent calendars, this fun activity lasts far longer than a sweet treat, and can be done altogether. Children can colour a new character each day, watch their artwork grow throughout the month, and then wear their fully finished masterpiece to bed on Christmas Eve. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning in pyjamas they designed themselves, a memorable way to start the day!
Why Parents and Children Love Them
Our Countdown to Christmas Pyjamas are packed with thoughtful, child-friendly details that make them extra special.
A Creative Advent Alternative
Instead of extra sugar and sweets each day, children enjoy a calm, screen-free, creative moment as they bring the design to life. They can pick the correctly numbered character they feel like colouring, working through the whole Christmas scene each day. By the time Christmas Eve arrives, the entire design is complete, ready to be worn on the most magical night of the year.
Packed with Festive Friends
The design includes an entire cast of Christmas characters, such as:
Owls
Reindeer
Penguins
Father Christmas
Polar bears
And many more hidden details waiting to be coloured…
Mess-Free and Easy to Use
Our fabric pens keep things simple: no glue, no glitter, no paint and no water. Everything stays clean and as ‘mess-free’ as possible! It’s also super easy to pack up and carry on the next day, or even do on the go!
Once you’ve coloured in your pyjamas, they are very easy to cure. You can air dry your design for 24 hours, or Iron on a low heat, on the reverse or using greaseproof paper, but because you only add a small amount of colour each day, air curing is ideal throughout December.
Want some ideas on how to colour in your Countdown-to-Christmas pyjamas?
Start with the Owl’s Body
- Take a brown colour and apply it in a single-colour ombre.
- Focus on creating shading and texture that mimics the natural look of owl feathers.
Add Depth to the Eyes and Eyebrows
- Use the opposite gradient technique on the eyes and eyebrows to make them stand out.
- This will give the owl expression and dimension.
Colour the Ear Muffs
- Choose a nice blue that contrasts with the brown to create a “night owl” feel.
- Fill in the ear muffs with this blue.
Colour the Scarf
- Use the same blue from the ear muffs for the scarf to tie the colours together.
Add Bright Accents
- Take a bright yellow to colour the stars.
- Use the same yellow on the number and surrounding stars to tie the design together and create contrast.
