STORY

A brandnew star appeared in the sky on that night. It shone brightly upon the earth, shedding its clear light on the hearts of adults and children, filling them with great joy. During that night, Mary, Joseph’s wife, gave birth to Baby Jesus, the Son of God.

The star caught the eye of Three Wise Men named Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar, who were living in faraway countries. They followed the star all the way to Baby Jesus to bring him gifts.

The story of Nativity is just magical. Children will love to hear it, and I hope these simple toys will help you to share the Nativity story with even the little ones.
