The Asda wooden nativity set is no longer available, skip to the end of the post for some alternatives!
For the last few years I’ve really liked the idea of having a little decorative wooden nativity scene. I’ve seen some super cute wooden ones in the past however I’ve always felt they were a little expensive and hadn’t got round to investing. This year we have an ASDA Wooden Nativity Set which officially is a toy, however I do plan to use more for decorative purposes. At just £15 I think it’s fantastic value.
The set contains everything you need to create the perfect nativity scene – a stable with a star, three kings, a shepherd, a sheep, an angel and of course Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
Each of the characters is instantly recognisable. Chloe is just 4 and knew immediately who each person was despite not having heard the Christmas Story for almost a year.
The brightly coloured characters are the perfect size and shape for little hands and are easy to stand up.
At first I set the Asda wooden nativity scene up myself on the drawers in our dining room to show that it could be used ornamentally – which is how I intend to use it come Christmas. I love the way it looks – though perhaps the tulips aren’t too festive!
Chloe loved playing with the set – carefully rearranging all the characters, giving them voices and acting out the Christmas story. It was very cute and I know it’s going to get played with far more than I had planned! I love the idea of setting it out each Christmas for years to come.
This wooden nativity set is no longer available so why not check out these alternatives:
