Magnetic Nativity Scene

I thought of a fun way for the kids to learn the Christmas Story. Some cute little magnetic Nativity paper dolls. I have a few Nativity scenes, but they are all glass and not really kid friendly. So, i thought I would make one that the kiddos could play with. Stick them on the fridge or put them on a magnetic bulletin board, or even on a cookie sheet! The kids will love them.
