Modular Nativity - Complete Set

Yes. The pieces are solid, 18mm thick, sanded smooth with rounded edges and finished with a non-toxic oil. There are no small parts to come loose, no glued joints and no coatings to chew off. As with any wooden toy, we would not leave a child under three unsupervised with the smaller pieces.
The only piece we do not recommend for very small children is the optional Magnus the magnificent figure.

Because a person made it. Each piece is shaped, sanded and oiled by hand in our own Yorkshire workshop from timber we selected, rather than stamped out by the thousand and shipped in from overseas. You are buying one of a kind rather than one of fifty thousand, and something that will still be in the family when the child playing with it has children of their own.

Yes. Every set is made by the same hands, in the same workshop, from the same spalted beech and olive wood. Grain and colour vary from piece to piece by nature – that is what makes each set unique – but the style, thickness and scale are identical across the whole range.

No. There is nothing to assemble. The pieces are blocks: they stack and sit against each other, with no joints, no fixings and no instructions to lose. Every piece is a solid 18mm thick, in line with most wooden block sets, and that thickness is what gives the buildings their stability once they are stacked. Build it, knock it down, build it again.

The beech is Yorkshire, from wind-felled and end-of-life trees near the workshop. The olive wood is Mediterranean, the same species that has grown across the Holy Land for thousands of years.

Each set is made to order with a 7-day turnaround, then despatched on a tracked service. Order by 6th December and we guarantee it will be with you for Christmas. We keep shipping until 18 December, but after the 6th we cannot promise it arrives in time.

You can. The Complete Nativity brings all seven sets together at a saving compared to buying them separately.

We don't offer a gift wrapping service at the moment.
Every set arrives in a beautiful, recyclable kraft card box, suitable for giving as it is.

Dust it, play with it, and wipe it with a barely damp cloth if it needs it. Avoid soaking, dishwashers and radiators. A drop of food-safe oil every few years will bring the grain and figuring back to life.
