Cathy is doing her annual nativity scene challenge, which we had a lot of fun doing with lego last year. This year you can use any material to make the scene and I had hoped to enter with a nativity scene kit I bought for the kids to sew. When I opened the kit, however, I discovered that it wasn't a felt kit, as I had thought but a cardboard one that you had to slot together. The kids did put it together, but since it only took 5 minutes, I'm not sure if that counts!!
We did have the opportunity to be part of a real nativity scene the other day, though, which also may not strictly fit the requirements, but was a lot of fun! My friend Sarah had a first birthday/Christmas party for her little boy and decided to get the kids to act out the Christmas story. It was a wonderful idea, and relatively simple. She asked the mums in advance to bring a few things that might be suitable from our dress up boxes, and on the day we allocated parts and while one of the kids read the story from a kids Bible, the other kids acted it out. You can read more and see some lovely photos at Sarah's blog. See if you can spot all 4 of my kids!

Of course it counts! I'm forcing you to enter (if I may?)! Great to see a pile of kids playing the nativity together. xxc
sure - you can force me. I'll give my prize to Sarah if I win. :)
Hi Nicole,
I love that nativity scene you found - even if it did only take 5 minutes (sounds even better!) May I ask where you found it? It looks like just what I am after.
A toy shop in Beecroft called Toys n Tales or something like that...you might be able to find it at another toy shop closer to home though!
Looks like they had a lot of fun!
