12-Piece Colorful Nativity Scene Set – Hand-Painted Resin, 5.75″

The full Nativity story, scaled for everyday spaces.

This twelve-piece crèche brings together every key figure of the Christmas narrative in a compact, tabletop-friendly format. At just 5.75 inches tall, it is designed for homes where space is limited but the desire for a complete, traditional scene remains strong.

The color palette is unmistakably Christmas. Mary kneels in a deep ruby gown beneath a royal blue mantle, while Joseph stands watch in forest green and warm ochre, hand resting over his heart. The infant Jesus lies in a cradle of sculpted straw, swaddled in white — and because he is a separate piece, you can choose the moment he appears in your own seasonal tradition.

The Three Kings arrive in regal, saturated hues: one kneels in cobalt and crimson with a golden crown, another stands in emerald and royal blue holding a gilded vessel, and the third carries an ornate gift box in purple and green. The shepherd boy, young and attentive, wears a golden tunic and carries a lamb across his shoulders. A praying angel in coral and ivory spreads brilliant gold wings over the scene, while the ox, donkey, camel, and a small sheep rest quietly at the stable floor.

Despite its smaller scale, the hand-painted detail is precise. Every robe is edged with gold trim, every crown and vessel is finished with metallic accents, and the facial expressions remain gentle and distinct. The figures are cast in solid polyresin with weighted bases, so they stand securely even on narrow surfaces.

When fully arranged, the scene spans roughly 17.5 inches — wide enough to feel like a gathered tableau, yet narrow enough for a small mantel, a console table behind a sofa, a classroom shelf, or a church office desk. It also works beautifully as a centerpiece within a larger holiday display, surrounded by greenery or fairy lights.

No assembly is required beyond deciding where each figure belongs. The set arrives individually packed and ready to display, making it an easy, risk-free gift for grandchildren, godchildren, teachers, or anyone beginning their first Nativity collection.

Small in size. Complete in story. Rich in Christmas color.

What figures are included in this 12-piece nativity set?

The set includes the Holy Family (Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in a removable manger), Three Wise Men, a shepherd boy with a lamb on his shoulder, a praying angel with gold wings, an ox, a donkey, a camel, and a sheep. Each of the twelve figures is freestanding and individually hand-painted.

Is Baby Jesus attached to the manger or a separate piece?

Baby Jesus is a separate figurine that can be placed into or removed from the straw manger independently. This allows families to observe the Advent tradition of keeping the manger empty until Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

How much space do I need to display the full 12-piece scene?

When arranged as a complete nativity display, the scene spans approximately 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) wide and reaches 5.75 inches (14.6 cm) tall at the angel. A surface of at least 18 inches wide is recommended. The compact height makes it ideal for bookshelves, windowsills, small side tables, and desk displays.

Is 5.75 inches too small for a fireplace mantel?

Not at all. While larger nativity sets can overwhelm a standard mantel, this 5.75-inch scale leaves room for candles, greenery, or stockings alongside it. If you have a deep mantel, you can place the scene forward and layer taller items behind it. For very narrow mantels, it is often the perfect fit where a 10-inch or 12-inch set would not work.

Can the figures be displayed separately or do they need to stay together?

Every figure is freestanding with its own weighted base, so you can arrange them as a full crèche or place individual figures in different rooms. Many customers place the Holy Family on a main table, the angel on a windowsill, and the animals among a greenery garland for a scattered, house-wide nativity theme.

How does this 5.75″ set compare to your larger nativity sets?

This set offers the same complete 12-figure scene as our larger collections but in a compact, apartment-friendly scale. The figures are proportionally smaller, yet the hand-painted detail, gold accents, and expressive faces remain fully finished. It is an excellent choice for small homes, dorm rooms, office desks, or as a child's first nativity set.

How should I clean and store the figurines?

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. Avoid water, cleaning sprays, and direct sunlight, which can dull the hand-painted finish over time. For storage, wrap each figure individually in tissue paper, paying extra attention to the angel's wings, the Kings' crowns, and the delicate straw edges of the manger.
