We try to satisfy our customer’s needs with more than one option. This is an area where you, as the customer, have a choice of style preference as you make your selections throughout our online catalog. All of our materials are made to the specifications and approval of the late Dr. Sonja Stewart.
We hand craft two styles of figures for the "Young Children & Worship" book and the "Following Jesus" book. Our most popular style of figure is made using a solid color wood. An alternative style of figure is made using an assortment of multi-color woods, for example: pine, black walnut, cypress, maple, zebra, and several other exotic woods. The suggestion is a solid color wood draws attention to the story and movement of the figures rather than the figures themselves. Although identical in shape the solid color wood figures, the multi-color woods suggest we are all different.
Figures in either of the two styles vary from ¼” to ¾” thickness, depending on the story in which they are used. The Old Testament figures are specifically made to stand in the sand which is confined in the Desert Box. The New Testament figures easily stand on the felt underlays and are a perfect size for little hands to manage. Each figure is carefully sanded and buffed to a smooth finish.
Most of the structures used in the telling the Biblical stories are handcrafted from Baltic birch. We offer the wall of Jerusalem and wall of Bethlehem in two styles: as solid color Baltic birch structures or multi-color structures using the same beautiful multi-color woods of the figures to indicate the various architectural elements on the Baltic birch wall. All of our structures are sanded and finished with a MSDS approved wood sealer for protection.
The pieces used for the parable stories are two-dimensional characters cut from 1/8” Baltic birch. Laminated color prints ready for you to cut out is a second option. A third choice is purchasing the color print and preparing it as you wish for telling the story.
The small mountains and the tomb are made of resin. This material has the look and feel of a real rock. The tomb is also available in wood. The large mountain, used in "Following Jesus", is currently available only in Styrofoam.
All of our materials are made with safety and usability in mind. If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-888-689-6757 or
