This simple trail takes you on a journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, meeting key characters from the story along the way. It's ideal for children who know the Christmas Story, as well as those who may be discovering it for the first time.

Each trail sign is numbered so children can easily sequence events, & running through the trail is also a mystery word for children to discover. The letters are hidden in the stars on each sign, with the answer revealed at the end of the Trail.
