NATIVITY PEG DOLL EXCHANGE

Welcome NDDP moms! You’re invited to participate in a Nativity Peg Doll Exchange taking place in the Fall of 2022! 

WHAT ARE NATIVITY PEG DOLLS? 

Nativity Peg Dolls are wooden peg people designed and painted to represent a specific person who was at the Nativity of Our Lord. Nativity Peg Dolls can be used for children’s play, as liturgical decorations in the home, in an Advent calendar as gifts, etc.

WHAT IS A PEG DOLL EXCHANGE?

It could be extremely time consuming to design and paint an individual peg doll for each Nativity Peg doll you may like to have for yourself or your family. Rather than painting 20 or more different individual Nativity pieces all by yourself, each person in the exchange chooses one historical figure and paints 20 of that one specific Nativity peg doll. Then, on the day of the exchange, you trade with fellow participants and end up having 20 different Nativity peg dolls! It really is a genius idea. It is much less time consuming to paint one peg doll assembly-line style than it is to do that many different peg doll all by yourself.

HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?

It’s easy! A list of figures who were at the Nativity for this exchange can be found in this Sign-Up Genius. Simply choose which peg doll you would like to paint and sign-up with your preferred email address! Design & paint your peg doll then bring them to the exchange, where you will enjoy fun and fellowship with the other participants.
