Then perhaps it's time to change the design of the calendar.  What about one
small model on the first day (sticking with today's type of designs) but
then the pieces on the 2nd day are additional elements that are specific to
day 1, making a larger model of 20 - 30 pieces.  In other words, the pieces
on day 2 don't make much of a model on their own, but supplement the pieces
the kids have already received on day one.  Then you repeat the process
every other day... or even every third day.

Now THAT is a great idea! I hadn't thought of it beyond 24 individual
models, but a cumulative method has tremendous potential. They could,
in fact, model a small town (and maybe include a baseplate
shrinkwrapped to the back of the calendar). In fact, a "Santa's
Village" would be neat, not to mention appropriate.
