5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I bought this for my toddler, November 30, 2007

I bought this along with Tomie's Little Christmas Pageant for my 2.5 yr old. I am happy with both. It is made in China but the box indicates the paint is lead free. The figures are a nice chunky size for my toddler's hands. I believe the figures are bigger than the Fisher Price set.

I think it is a good set for the price, but there are 2 things I think buyers will want to consider. First, it does not have an actual stable as other sets do(though we will probably make one by painting a shoebox). Second, although I like that it is made of wood (makes it very charming), it IS a soft wood and I suspect that with some rough handling it might get dinged and nicked up.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really child-friendly, December 1, 2007

Considering the title of this product reads, "Child's First Nativity Set," I figured this would be a good set for my kids to play with. I was wrong. When the package arrived, I was surprised to see that the box read, "Not a toy. Not for children..." Also, when I opened up the box just to see what the pieces looked like, they were not painted nearly as bright or as "friendly" as they look in the picture. All of this considered, I decided to send it back. I purchased the Fisher-Price Little People Nativity set at Target for $25.00, and my kids love it. The Fisher-Price set is much more sturdy and the figures are a bit bigger as well.

My 4 year old loves this. Our tradition is to keep Baby Jesus put away and bring him out Christmas morning. It is kind of a soft wood, prone to dings with rough play. I'm curious how long the straw stuffed in around baby Jesus will last. The molded plastic that holds the pieces in place inside the box is not really something you can use for years to store the set--it's very thin and tore easily. We ended up using a shoebox and the foam padding our new TV was wrapped in. My son loves role-playing with the pieces and rearranging them.
