How to Pick a Nativity Set

Posted by Aaron Lewendon  ·  Be the first to comment

Nativity sets have been associated with the Christmas story, ever since St. Francis of Assisi made the first one in 1223AD.

They are a lovely way to bring the story of the nativity to life but, with so many to choose from,  which one should you pick? 

We have come up with some simple questions that will guide you to the perfect set for you and your family:

1) Is it for grown-ups?

2) If it is for kids, how old are they?

3) Will it be played with?

4) Do you prefer wood or resin cast figures?

5) Do you want a traditional or modern design?

6) Do you have a big space for it or just a small one?

7) Would you rather make your own?

Once you are clear about what you want from your nativity set, our selections below will help you make your final choice.
