Features of the figures and nativity settings
The Aurora collection includes all the classic figures of the holy scene, from Mary and Saint Joseph to the Baby Jesus in the manger, alongside shepherds, animals and the Three Wise Men. The stylised lines and careful finishes are designed to be pleasing to the touch and durable over time, offering a warm alternative to traditional Christmas decorations. The entire scene can be arranged inside dedicated wooden nativity stables and houses, designed to house the collection's figures harmoniously.
To further enrich your home's festive setting, you can also explore other wooden nativity sets from Val Gardena or browse the general catalogue dedicated to nativity scene wood carved sculptures, where classic and modern interpretations meet.
Guide to choosing a nativity set for children
When selecting Aurora figures, it is worth considering whether to build the scene gradually or opt for a complete set. Those wishing to start with the main characters can begin with the core Holy Family with the ox and donkey, subsequently adding shepherds, sheep and the Star of Bethlehem over the years. If the goal is to introduce educational, natural elements into a child's bedroom, these figures can also complement other handcrafted wooden toys, encouraging manual dexterity and familiarity with natural materials.
The magnetic modularity allows children to safely customise the scene, learning about the various characters of Advent through direct contact with precious wood.
