Teach kids the story of Jesus’s birth with these kid-friendly nativity sets for Christmas. Each is designed for kids to play with.

I have a few nativity sets that are plastic and perfect for children to play with. My little ones loved moving the pieces around throughout the holiday season.

I want to get a new one for my grandson to play with this year. Which of the sets is your favorite?

Nativity Sets for Christmas

In addition to reading the Christmas story (in book form or from the Bible), kids can use a kid-friendly nativity set to recreate the story themselves.

Let them use the figures to act out the story as you read it aloud. Or, let them use the playsets to sequence the story on their own.
