The \u003cstrong\u003eLittle Dutch Nativity Play Box\u003c\/strong\u003e is the opposite idea. It is a nativity scene built to be handled, rearranged, knocked over and set up again, which is how a three year old actually learns a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery figure is sized for small hands and finished in Little Dutch's soft, muted palette, so it sits happily on a mantel or a play mat. When the season is over, the whole scene packs back into its own box and waits for next December.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable from 18 months.
