Christmas: Books and toys for kids


Beachwood Nativity Set


If you are introducing the story of the Nativity to your preschoolers, there's no better way to bring it to life for them than to give them their own cr?e to set up and play with. Haba is a trusted toy-maker of the highest quality, and we love the design of this set. It's sturdy and child-friendly, yet these wooden pieces are lovely enough to do justice to the tale ...

Any little would-be ballerinas in your midst will be especially fascinated, but this story adds to the enchantment of Christmas for all. Wait for your little ones to start wondering whether their Christmas ...

The Sweet Smell of Christmas


If you had this book when you were young, you know why we adore it: it's unforgettable. Little ones love Christmastime because it is a feast for the senses - the lights, the decorations, the music, and yes, the sweet smells. This story captures the delicious childhood anticipation of Christmas like no other. Little Bear knows that Christmas is coming - he smells the apple pie, the piney tree, hot ...
