Crafty homemade Nativity set

Yesterday the munchkins and I set out to make a homemade nativity set, inspired by Nicky from Rhyme Time .
She recently posted different Christmas craft's for toddlers and the toilet nativity roll set jumped out at me.

If you want a great place for crafty idea's for children from 6 months to 4 years, Rhyme time has it all.
You can also follow Rhyme time's page on facebook :)

We don't own a Nativity set of any kind and it's important for my husband and I now the munchkins are a little older, to teach them the true meaning of Christmas.

So it was the perfect time and way to create our own Nativity set, made with big hands with the help of some little hands and loads of love.
Something to treasure for years to come.... well if it lasts the year out, with the all the dramatic play it's been staring in since being made :D

We had so much fun making it together and the Nativity set now lives on the side board in our foyer, so it welcomes everyone who enters our front door.

Never underestimate the many wonderful uses of toilet rolls! :P
I always keep old toilet rolls for our craft days, as they are basically a free art tool/product to add to fun times. So think before you throw your next toilet roll in the bin.
