She made it with 25 pieces, so every day in December another piece gets put out, and on the 25th, baby Jesus is put in the manger.
Each piece is made from a wood peg, or a wooden ball with the features painted on.
She took out the other pieces so I could share them with you.
I forgot to get a pic of the shepherds...
Isn't it sweet? I love how she painted everything, I love that a new piece comes every night and I love that it's kid friendly.

What a cute and clever idea.
Oh WoW!! Your daughter did a beautiful job, she is very talented. I love all the pieces especially the sheep :)
I love that! I am now wondering if she painted already made pieces or if she did all the design, cutting and painting. That is one of the coolest nativities I have seen. What an awesome gift from your daughter!
It is adorable and I love the fact that you add to it each day and Jesus on Christmas. I can see building it each year becoming a wonderful family tradition and a nice way to tell children the amazing story of our Lord's birth.
How adorable. She did a wonderful job. Merry Christmas to you all!
This is awesome! Your daughter is really talented- I could never paint something as cute as this :)
Love this nativity scene. It is different but perfect in telling the story. Your daughter did a great job painting each piece.
This is totally gorgeous!!!! How brilliant.
What a wonderful tradition to put one piece out at a time and they are so cute.
Oh wowowowowowow….love this Mari. Your daughter did a great job, smiles
Beautiful and a wonderful family keepsake! It will be a great tradition for them!
Oh my, Mari, what a treasure Laura has made. She is such a wonderful mommy...the way she sews for the girls and does so many things that a lot of moms (even Christian moms) these days don't make the effort. You and Bob have raised both your girls to be wonderful caring adults.
This is precious :)
Beautifully painted. I love the idea of adding a new feature every day, it really makes you think about the true meaning of Christmas.
This is so beautiful. How creative to put one out every day during Advent. Love that idea.
I have the same feeling as Joe. Your daughter doing this puts the focus on where it should be. :)
How cool! I have never seen one like this. I like it!
The artistic gene runs deep and wide in your family! I love this. So precious. xoxo
I don't know how I missed this but it's absolutely darling!! I am in love with her set.
