A nice idea as long as you don't pay full price
This is a somewhat lower quality than I expected especially considering the price tag. It's sturdy and the doors work well what bugs me is that on mine the background has bumpy spots of glue or paint or something on it. The figures are cute. I tested all the boxes. I could get the audio to work on all of them eventually but many of them I had to open and shut several times to get the light sensor to activate but that's probably to be expected with light sensing technology and I'm sure the kids won't mind.
The voice quality is acceptable as is WHAT it says - nothing questionable assuming you do believe Jesus is the Savior of the World and the real meaning of Christmas. Oh and that fire is a symbol of God's presence or something like that. I hadn't really thought of it but perhaps that's true. It does NOT tell the Christmas story as a narrative. The daily comment is more specifically about the item of the day be it a donkey the moon or Frankincense. It does say things like Mary was the mother of Jesus and Joseph received angelic revelation concerning the birth of Jesus
My kids (4 and 5) loved opening it up when we got it and I DO expect to enjoy using it next Christmas. Just wait until it goes on sale after Christmas to buy it.
More detail ...
