Hidden in a luxurious cardboard envelope with a transparent window is a large Christmas tree model made of exceptionally strong, thick lacquered cardboard, a sheet with figures for decorating this tree, the "Christmas Tree" bingo game, which the young subscribers of the "Svetlyachok" magazine received with the December issue in 1911, and also the book "Christmas Santa Claus" - a fairy tale in verse, illustrated by B. V. Zvorykin himself.

At the beginning of the last century, as today, a Christmas tree was a must for Christmas, and under it - gifts: toys, sweets, games, and certainly books.

A verse fairy tale that our great-great-grandmothers could well have read. "Christmas Santa Claus" can still decorate any children's library today.

Back then, as now, people loved board games. Indeed, it is so wonderful to gather the whole family and play bingo. And what bingo! Here you not only have to call out the numbers, but also decorate the large cardboard Christmas tree with paper figures.

The rules of this elegant game have not changed at all in a hundred years, but just to make sure no one gets confused, a detailed instruction is included with the set.

For children aged 5-9.
