This Advent and Christmas season, introduce your little ones to the joy and meaning of the season with the My Pray Play Nativity Busy Book! This enchanting, colorful, interactive quiet felt busy book combines playful learning with the story of the Incarnation, making it the perfect gift for young children eager to explore the true meaning of Christmas. Designed by a pediatric speech language pathologist and in collaboration with Brother Francis, this book is ideal for everything from Mass during the Advent and Christmas season to celebrating at a holiday party or from a long ride to Grandma?s house to quiet play at home. Velcro tabs, buttons, zippers, clasps, and multiple textures will stimulate little hands and encourage exploration. Every scene has been thoughtfully depicted to accurately bring Scripture to life and the bold and beautiful colors are meant to capture the eyes, minds, and hearts of all the little ones who pray and play with this book. Activities: Interactive Christmas Tree: The inside front cover features Brother Francis and his charming Christmas tree where kids can decorate with six festive ornaments that easily snap on and off. Once the tree is adorned, spin the double-layered star at the top to celebrate the season! Plus, a bonus star keychain is included as a reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. Advent Wreath Activity: Children can engage with the Advent Wreath by snapping on and off the four Advent candles and the white Christ candle. Each Sunday during Advent, they can ?light? the candles, culminating in the special moment of lighting the Christ candle on Christmas morning. Away in a Manger: Open the barn doors to reveal a beautifully crafted manger scene featuring Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and barn animals. The shiny Christmas star above adds a magical touch, and a bonus pregnant Mary figure allows children to retell the Christmas story before Jesus' birth. Wisemen Journey: Inspired by Matthew 2:10, this page depicts the joy of the wisemen as they travel with gifts and camels, following the Christmas star. Kids can unzip the page and position the wisemen next to the manger scene for an interactive storytelling experience. Angels and Shepherds: With ?Glory to God in the highest? written above, this page features three angels and three shepherds with their five sheep. Children can match the sheep with the correct button color and number and unzip the page to bring the angels and shepherds closer to the Christ child. Nativity Puzzle: Complete the beautiful Nativity scene by matching the nine puzzle pieces to the faded image, encouraging problem-solving and fine motor skills. Scripture Match-Up: Children can assemble the Scripture verses from Luke 2:11-12 by matching colors, reinforcing their understanding of the Nativity story. Gifts for Jesus Reflection: Open the three gift boxes from the wisemen. This engaging page includes fine motor skills practice with zippers, latches, and buckles, along with three removable felt pieces representing frankincense, myrrh, and gold. The last gift encourages the child to think of the self gift s/he can be to Jesus and others. Features: Integrated carry bag with handles.
