From a technical point of view, the Nativity Scene model is on the simpler mechanics and assembly side of the Ugears collection. We wanted the whole family, including younger children, to be able to participate and enjoy putting it together. Being a fine piece of a traditional Christmas decor, the model nevertheless has basic gear mechanism that animates certain elements of the set. To start the mechanism, manually rotate any of interconnected gears that you will see on the sides and on the top of the model. This will make the star on the roof of the barn move while at the same time rotating the gears with carved designs and animating the background of the scene.
The Nativity Scene 3-D puzzle from Ugears is made of high-grade plywood and comes with all you need for assembly: no glue or additional tools required. The details are pre-cut in the wooden boards with a precise laser and come out of their slots with a slight push – to help you with the smallest bits, there is a special tool provided with the set.
