This year, we gave our grand-babies an early Christmas present; we gave them the Fisher Price Little People Nativity Set (with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the wise men, the shepherds, the angel and several animals: purchased from Sam's Club.) Although they are only 24 months and 10 months old, we wanted to start NOW getting them familiar with the true meaning of Christmas.
Kinley is so young that she enjoys crawling over and destroying the scene and putting the pieces in her mouth. Cameron, loves playing with all of the pieces. He does not understand the story yet, but he knows which one is baby Jesus and he will kiss him and place him in the manger.
My 2-4 year old children at church are celebrating Jesus' Birthday all this month.
In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, let us ALWAYS remember the true meaning of Christmas.

We purchased that set for our boys when they were about 2 years old. They are now 11 years old and still enjoy getting it out year after years and setting it up in their room.
