About Mary's Knitting


Mary's baby is nearly due and she hasn't anything to keep him warm. She'll have to knit a blanket on her way to Bethlehem. She's uncomfortable and hungry, but with the help of some nearby shepherds and a few wise men, her knitting needles still manage their 'clickity-click' all the way. But will she finish the blanket in time?

Mary's Knitting includes seven simple songs and an easy-to-perform script, perfect for younger children. This delightful school nativity play is sure to warm the hearts of everyone this Christmas.

An Annual Performance Licence is required to perform this nativity.

Such a cute play

By Sarah

My daughter did this play with her toddler group and it was so sweet to watch! The children joined in with every song and my daughter loved being a sheep. This is very easy for young children to perform my daughter was 2 when she performed it so not quite in the age range but it was still very easy for her to sing the songs and have a part!


Delightful

By Chris

Used this gorgeous play for a church Christmas Pageant in our barn in 2009 after being recommended to me. Approx 50 children ages 4 years to lower secondary took part. All children embraced the songs. The short repetitive songs were fun. Mary rode in on a donkey knitting away, and Joseph used the spinning wheel.The play offers so much scope.
