Product Description
What's Included in this Fisher-Price Little People Deluxe Christmas Nativity Story Playset? ------ Included in the playset is a small manger made of plastic made to look like wood and hay. The manger stands about 6 inches high by 10 inches wide. In addition to the manger, there are 4 fence pieces which are made to look like stone fencing in a sturdy gray plastic. The pieces snap together and can also be attached to each side of the rear of the manger stall. On the back of the manger, there is an on/off switch as well as a battery compartment for 3 AA batteries. On the roof of the manger is a small post that fits any standard Little People figurine. Though any Little People figure will work, the intention is for the Little People Angel to be placed on the post. When the angel is pressed on, the star on the front of the manger lights up and an instrumental version of the song, Away in a Manger begins to play. The inside of the manger is tiny and made to hold only the Little People Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. Mary is wearing a pale blue robe and veil and Joseph is in shepherds clothing with a staff. Baby Jesus is swaddled in white cloth and nestled in a makeshift bassinette made of hay. The Three Wisemen - Caspar, Balthasar, and Melchior come bearing gifts - Gold, Frankincense and Myrhh. It is interesting because my understanding of the Magi one was to be from Asia, another from Africa and another from Europe. Surprisingly, Fisher-Price has kept this true to the telling of the story as one figure is Asian, another African American and the other Caucasian in appearance. Of course, with them is their camel figure. Finally, there are a few more animal figures including a little white sheep, a brown cow and a little grey donkey. Also included is a small plastic bale of hay that opens up to look like a wooden feed trough for the animals.
