Wonderful item for the kids. Makes telling the Christmas story fun and interactive. Had to return 'semi-similar ' items from another seller. The other item didn't include the 3 wise men - imagine that ? Come to think of it - maybe that was the Washington, DC version ?

I just purchased this for my 2 1/2-year-old, and both he and his baby brother love it! The star lights up and the stable plays "Away in a Manger" when you push a button on the top. So make sure you REALLY like that particular song, or else remove the batteries before giving it to your kids! The donkey and his cart are a big favorite with my son, and often give "rides" to baby Jesus and the other folks at the stable.

The playset does make a great tool for talking to your kids about the Nativity. For example, my toddler called the stable a "house." I explained that it was a stable where animals lived, and then explained why Jesus was born there, etc. When he talks about the star, I tell him about how there was a special star when Jesus was born, and the wise men followed it etc. Talking about religion -- even with my own kids! -- isn't something that comes very naturally to me, so this is a big help.

Incidentally, check your prices before buying online. I find this exact set for $40 at WalMart.

I bought this for my two year old who LOVES it. She has a ball swaying to the music and putting the different people up on top of the stable. A great value, but definetly check your prices at home first. I bought mine for $39 at Wal-Mart.

I love the idea of a nativity set that my daughter can play with, and Fisher Price Little People just make great toddler toys. With that said, however, does anyone else find it funny that this particular nativity set comes with a 'pink pig.' Which guy at Fisher Price thought, "Hey, let's add a pink pig to our Jewish nativity set!"

I (Jim's wife) bought this for our Granddaughter to play with at our house and she really loved it! She's 18 months and quickly realized that pushing the angel on the top would make music. She liked all the pieces and I was so glad to have a manger scene that I didn't have to say, "No, no, don't touch!" What a great way, too, to share the Christmas story with a little one!!!

My 2 year old daughter loves this! It's a fun, hands-on way for her to learn about the religious significance of Christmas. Most other nativities can't be played with. Didn't buy it here b/c you can get it much cheaper at wal-mart! Cute, and very well made.
