Barbara, we have the Fisher Price Little People Nativity set. After using it for a couple of years the baby Jesus was lost. I was able to call Fisher Price and order another for around $3. It really is a perfect set for kids.

We also have the Fisher Price Nativity set - it is great for kids, and we often use it long after Christmas has come and gone! Great for talking with kids about the Christmas story.
