When our kids were very little, I always had one nativity set that was for them to play with. This one was set up on a low table and was the kids\u2019 to interact with. We have done other nativity pieces\u2014clay, paint your own, Fisher Price, felt, punch outs, and more. A simple search of nativities online yielded so many cute ideas\u2014if you are crafty, they are even better! Here are some I found that you might enjoy sharing with your children.<\/p>\n
