Soft Enough for a King

The Christmas manger tradition has held a special place in our lives for many years. Filling the manger with fresh ‘straw’ (each strand representing a good deed) reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas. This one-of-a-kind, interactive experience includes a handmade, wooden manger and a plush, baby Jesus, along with fabric strips to use as ‘straw’ to record acts of service and kindness on. Become inspired by the story of an innkeeper’s son, Abe, who prepared a place for Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem.

They describe, "The call is to think outside our door, to reach out to each other with compassion, to help. "With a wooden manger, paper "straw" to record acts of service and a Christ Child doll, "Soft Enough for a King" brings the story of Christmas to life. The set also includes a picture book illustrated by beloved author Micah Player. The JolleyBlox family hopes this one-of-a-kind experience will invite others to conversations about the
