In reply to Megan Costik. Interesting comments afterwards - most of them very positive. One of my colleagues keen to use it with teenagers too. Let me know how it goes down with your Pastor!

That’s excellent! Besides the Jenga Jesus comment, I am curious as to others opinion on this set. I love the minimalism and what you pointed out about it being “everyone’s” crib scene. But I am sure there are some that would miss seeing the characters themselves. I am anxious to share this with our pastor and get his thoughts. Thank you for posting!

I did – and used it at last night’s carols by candlelight service – see: http://richardlittledale.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/jenga-jesus/

Just a quick note to say that I too was hunting to get one of these sets (why I came across this blog!).

I emailed Oliver – through the contact email on his website – and he emailed back saying he was happy to send me one! Could not be more excited!

Hope this helps!

If anyone can find out how to get hold of an Oliver Fabel set – please let me know – thanks.

Especially love the coloured one… like Barnett Newman for Christmas!

And so, so much better than the knitted set that was in vogue a few years ago – better for many reasons, but not least that ‘baby Jesus’ looked exactly like a tampon! Give me Newman/Rothko any day!
