Lanka Kade Junior Starry Night Nativity

Lanka Kade Junior Starry Night Nativity

Even the smallest hands will love the chunky characters in this Lanka Kade Junior Starry Night Nativity set. Downsized slightly from the larger version, the twinkling stars in the night sky still creates a captivating backdrop to the very first Christmas night. The 11 nativity characters include the Holy Family, kings and shepherds.

The Holy Family consists of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, the shepherd has a sheep and lamb, the 3 wise men come with a donkey, and the angel Gabriel completes the set. Little ones will love tucking up baby Jesus to sleep, singing him a sweet lullaby as a newborn baby. Watch as the wise men travel all the way to Bethlehem, following the bright star. Fly Angel Gabriel down from the sky to bring the joyous message of the birth of Jesus.

The painted animals included in this set go wonderfully with other Lanka Kade painted animals, inviting your children to add a host of animals to this exciting event, and means they can play with characters throughout the year. The freestanding backdrop consists of a painted night sky with stable arches - while it sets of this nativity scene perfectly, there's no reason why it can't be added to your child's farm scenes to create an extra dimension to their farmyard.

Older children will love learning about the Christmas story throughout advent with this fairtrade nativity set. Beautifully crafted and hand-painted, this colourful nativity set can also take pride of place on a mantelpiece, windowsill or shelf during the Christmas period.
