Nativity Sets & Christian Christmas Toys
Bannor Toys makes Christian Christmas toys for kids in Madrid, Iowa: a wooden nativity set children can actually play with, a nativity matching game, a wooden Advent calendar, and heart and star rattles and teethers for baby's first Christmas, all handmade from natural hardwood since 2011. The nativity started because I broke Baby Jesus on my mom's Precious Moments set two years in a row as a kid, and I wanted a set my own children could hold while they learned the Christmas story. Every piece is unstained cherry, maple or walnut with an organic beeswax + flaxseed finish, CPSC Compliant, with no paint to chip. Most rattles and teethers here can be engraved with a name or baptism date. Shopping for the whole stocking? See all Christmas toys or baptism & faith gifts.
