In the middle of winter, Bishop Nicholas learns that a family is suffering from hunger. The children lack shoes and clothes for the cold days, and there are no toys either. In the evening, Nicholas sets out and places a large sack of gifts in front of the house door, knocks, and then wants to disappear unnoticed. With this story and figure set for daycare or elementary school, you can bring the beloved legend of Saint Nicholas to the stage of your shadow theater: all figures and backdrops to cut out, a crafting guide for the shadow play figures, as well as a child-friendly narrative version with directing instructions. Additionally, there are tips for the performance, suggestions for continuing the theme in the group, and educational notes.
