So I realized I never mentioned where these little Wise Men arrived from! I bought some half naked Ken dolls (and one Flynn Ryder) from local thrift stores, then cued up my Netflix Hallmark-style Christmas movies and pulled out the hardly used sewing machine and created traditional robes for these guys! I hot-glued turbans to their heads, sorry guys, and painted their eyes brown and added some beards! Seriously, I have never taken a single sewing class, but it was super easy to figure out simple seams!!
I like that I was able to turn these cast-off dolls to create the men who earnestly sought Jesus. Just like God takes us in all our sins, even when we were yet sinners (or castoffs) and died for us and now we can earnestly seek Him! (yay, made that work...lol)So I hope you can find some castoff dolls and create living lessons for your family! (if not, I am scouring all our local thrift shops and hope to have sets of Wise Men available for economic prices next year, so you can start these traditions with your family!)- April
