Reviews

From The Diocese of Lincoln Children and Youth Office - November 2008

This book really does give you lots to Make & Do. The book contains full instructions on how to make puppets (wooden kitchen spoon variety) of all the main characters in the nativity, including sheep, cattle, the donkey and the star. This is all explained in good, clear, step by step illustrations, both artist's impressions and photographs. Added to this you get photocopiable scripts for ten short plays (or ten acts for one long play!), each of which would last less than five minutes.

This book could form the basis of a craft based holiday club, a school project, a weekly club/Sunday school, or something to do at home in the school holidays. A really good bit of kit, which could only be improved by plans for making a theatre and background scenery!
