Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
I think that both of them are really cute, but I have to admit that my first reaction to the nativity is to be a little bit upset.
I think that the nativity represents something holy and that they shouldn't make a toy out of it - it isn't really something to be played with IMO. I mean the thought of baby Jesus rolling around on the floor, the dog picking it up etc. just doesn't sit well with me.
That being said, I can see how it would be a good way to teach little kids about their religion

When I saw it, I was thinking that it would be a nice thing to display and have the child look at and relate to easier than the "grown up" version - but maybe some parents would want their children to play with it to role play and grasp their religion a little better? In a controlled way - not winding up in the bottom of the toybox sort of way...
I have to say, the image of a golden retriever picking up the baby Jesus in his mouth and running around with it made me PIMP....

Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
I think it is a great tool to teach children about the meaning of the holiday. Andrew does not play with it unless I am there with him. And I read him the book "This is the Stable" while going through the stable lineup:) He loves it.

This is what I was thinking - not really play with it the way they would play with other toys, but play with like "Here is Joseph... and here is Mary... and who's the baby?" "And then what happened?"
That sort of thing....

Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
I do have to admit though, my dog did eat one of the wise men and I had to buy a replacement on ebay Oh and he ate a lamb. That is when I decided to move it into Andrews room. The dog is not allowed in there.

Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
We have the nativity and we keep it under the tree, the kids love it. It has been something that we can teach the story of Christmas with and the kids can relate. We only have it our for the holidays....otherwise it would end up in the bottom of the toy bin. OH yeah, no dogs hear to eat the people.....

That is too funny!
I love it, but I think I would do the same. Not treat it like the other toys, but like a Nativity that he can play with with me around.

Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
These are adorable - but, unfortunately they are also IMPOSSIBLE to find in the stores! I refuse to pay upwards of $30 for these toys on Amazon or eBay.

Re: This is soo cute! (Little people nativity set)
I got the nativity one off the Fisher Price website & they even sent a game CD (unrelated)....I (my school) bought it for the classroom at my suggestion (obviously catholic school).
Before I even took it out of the box I told the kids how special this was & how its in a special spot next to the bible & how we have to take care of it and treat it carefully.
I LOVE it though b/c every day they come up w/ different arrangements....they've also added different little people (carrying gifts) to see Jesus  (unrelated to the set). The kids love it though & I think it allows them to "get it" on their level.
I plan on getting one for my DD when she's a bit older.
