We have a wooden nativity that was handmade probably 30 years ago. Our kids played with it each Christmas. Some of the pieces are broken and glued back together. Some have been written on with pen or pencil.
This morning I was playing with it with my two year old granddaughter. My intention was to tell the story of Jesus’ birth to her with it. She had other ideas.
The camel, the shepherd, baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, just about all of the pieces at one time or another went flying down from the coffee table to the floor. We talked about the kings and baby Jesus, but none of the shepherds or kings really were engaged like it says in Luke 2.
It was ok. She had fun. We got the words in; some of the story.
We will have more opportunities on this. It was fun for her. It was a piece of the puzzle for her on which we will build later.
