So, I've been holding onto this story for a while, because I've worried that it might be sacrilegious, but I think I'm going to go ahead and record it anyway.
I have a stash of Playmobil toys that I keep on a high shelf to be pulled out occasionally during quiet time. Emily loves to play with them, especially the nativity set. One day she was playing so happily, but then became unhappy that Jesus was only a baby so couldn't do anything.
Here is the solution that she came up with:
This is grown up Jesus - a permanent addition to our Playmobil set. I personally like the goatee... and the tuft of hair right on top... and the big foot hairiness... ah, who am I kidding. He's a great character all around, isn't he? She even made a little stand for Him (should that be capitalized?). Go ahead and zoom in so you can appreciate all the fine detail. Everything down to the green eyes was purposeful.
I do love my little artist.

Great job, Emily! I love the creativity and attention to detail. I don't think its sacrilegious at all. You want your child to know Jesus Christ and activities like this present those opportunities for you and her to know what she knows.
love it! what talent :)
