Massimo Giacon, Mibo, Alexander Girard, Eric Carle

when I saw the Massimo Giacon Nativity set in a magazine
- I thought it was playmobil !!!


The Kings are hilarious but I can't find a picture !
Oh thank you MummyMad found one !


What is your Nativity set like ?
I have the one we grew up with

which my brothers & I added plastic farm animals to

and made a tin foil star

  1. That is brilliant! I haven't got one anymore! Sad isn't it? I am nativityless this christmas! I think it is lovely to keep christmas from our childhood alive though! I have a santa I made for my Mum and Dad when I was about 5. It is made from a toilet roll and has a very iffy face! Suzie. xxx

  3. Aha - I will be unveiling my childhood one tomorrow!!

    We also have a lego or was it playmobile one I bought in the sale last year. Now I am not sure... oh and I need to hang my little home made stockings up too.

    My mum has 2 fur snowmen which hang in her hall that I made as a child and a stoking on the trree that I cross stitched. I am now a true beleiever in the memories are woven in to them, rather than buying a new one!

  5. I love the girard set and found something a bit similar a while ago in a charity shop. We bring out the same pop-up book every year. It's beautiful and when opened out completely depicts the entire nativity scene.
