About manger

What’s this rustic wooden box? It’s a manger! Long ago, before fancy feeding bowls, farmers used these sturdy troughs to hold hay and food for their sheep, cows, and donkeys. Imagine fluffy straw piled high, perfect for hungry farm animals to munch their dinner. But this isn't just any old feeder! This manger is extra special because, according to a very famous story, it became the first cozy bed for baby Jesus on the very first Christmas night. How amazing is that? A simple, humble manger, usually filled with animal food, turned into a warm little cradle for the most important baby in the world! Now it's your turn to make this manger sparkle! What colors will you use for the rough wooden planks? Will the straw be golden yellow or a soft, faded brown? You could even draw some sleepy sheep or a friendly donkey peeking over! Let your imagination fill this special manger with warmth and wonder.
