Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Toys & Mission
Q: What makes Manger Toys different from other Christian toy companies?
A: We don't just slap Bible verses on regular toys. Every Manger Toy is intentionally designed around our "Manger Method" - a proven pathway that transforms playtime into discipleship time. Each toy comes with biblical equipping cards that guide parents through meaningful conversations, prayers, and Scripture connections. We believe play is one of the most powerful ways children learn, so we've created toys that teach both developmental skills AND eternal truths.
Q: What is the Manger Method?
A: A 4-Step Pathway That Transforms Playtime Into Discipleship
PLAY - Children naturally explore the toy through hands-on interaction and imaginative play, building developmental skills while having fun.
SOW - Parents use our included equipping cards with Bible verses, prayers, and conversation starters to plant God's Word during play ("Faith comes by hearing!").
LEARN - Through repeated play and gentle biblical guidance, children begin to understand spiritual truths as God's living Word shapes their imagination.
GROW CHRISTLIKE - We provide the tools and resources, but Jesus does the transforming work in young hearts over time.
Q: What age ranges are your toys designed for?
A: Our toys span from 0-6 years old, but the biblical connections grow with your child. A baby might simply enjoy the textures and colors of our Lion of Judah Rattle, while a 4-year-old can learn about Jesus as the Lion of Judah. Each toy includes age-appropriate ways to engage with the biblical content, and many become treasured keepsakes that serve multiple children in a family.
Q: Are your toys safe for young children?
A: Absolutely! Safety is paramount. All our toys are made from non-toxic materials, use child-safe paints and finishes, and meet or exceed safety standards. We use natural wood, food-grade silicone, and other safe materials. Each product page lists specific age recommendations and safety information.

Using the Toys for Faith Building
Q: I'm not sure how to have biblical conversations with my toddler. Will these toys help?
A: Yes! This is exactly why we created the equipping cards. We understand that many parents feel overwhelmed about how to share their faith with little ones. Each toy comes with simple, age-appropriate prayers, Scripture verses, and conversation starters. You don't need to be a Bible scholar - just a loving parent who wants to point their child toward Jesus.
Q: Can these toys be used in church nurseries or Sunday school?
A: Definitely! Many of our toys are perfect for group settings. Items like our Noah's Ark, Bethlehem Blocks, and God's Creation Puzzles are designed to spark conversations and can be used by teachers and volunteers. We also offer bulk pricing for churches. Please contact us for details.
Q: What if my child just wants to play and isn't interested in the Bible parts?
A: That's perfectly normal and actually part of our design! The "Play" phase of our Manger Method recognizes that children learn through hands-on exploration first. Let them enjoy the toy freely, then gradually introduce the biblical connections as natural moments arise. Sometimes the best faith conversations happen weeks after you've given them the toy.
Ordering & Practical Questions
Q: I'm a grandparent who wants to send meaningful gifts. Which toys work best for long-distance relationships?
A: Grandparents love our toys because they're gifts that keep giving! Consider our travel-sized options like God's Banner (rainbow stacker) or David's Slingshot. Many grandparents tell us these toys give them meaningful ways to connect during video calls too.
Q: Do you offer gift wrapping or special packaging?
A: While we don't offer traditional gift wrapping, each toy comes beautifully packaged in our signature boxes that reflect the care and thought behind every purchase. The presentation is gift-ready and includes all the biblical resources parents need.
Q: What if a toy breaks or doesn't meet my expectations?
A: We stand behind every toy we make. If you're not completely satisfied, or if something arrives damaged, contact us within 30 days and we'll make it right. Our goal is to support your family's faith journey, and we want you to love every Manger Toy.
Faith & Family Questions
Q: Are your toys appropriate for families from different Christian denominations?
A: Yes! We focus on core biblical truths that unite Christians across denominations - God's love, Jesus's sacrifice, character development, and Scripture engagement. Our materials are designed to complement your family's existing faith traditions rather than replace them.
Q: Can these toys help children who are struggling with faith concepts or going through difficult times?
A: Many parents find our toys helpful during challenging seasons. The hands-on nature of play can make abstract concepts more concrete, and the repetitive, comforting nature of play can provide stability. Our David's Slingshot has been particularly meaningful for children learning about courage, while God's Banner (rainbow) helps children understand God's promises during uncertain times.
Q: I homeschool my children. How can these toys fit into our curriculum?
A: Perfect! Many homeschooling families integrate our toys into their Bible studies, character education, and even history lessons. The toys provide hands-on learning that complements various educational approaches. Our equipping cards often include historical context and deeper study opportunities that can enhance your curriculum.

Our Story
Where Faith Met Play
Imagine This
It's 7pm on a Tuesday
Bath time is over, pajamas are on, and you're settling in for bedtime stories with your little one. You open their favorite book about trucks or princesses, and hopefully the Bible, and suddenly you realize...
when was the last time we talked about God today?
You love Jesus
Your child is the most precious gift He's given you.
But somehow, between diaper changes, snack time, and the beautiful chaos of raising little ones, those intentional moments of faith-building seem to slip away.
We've been there too.
The Heart
Behind Manger Toys
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 stopped us in our tracks one day:
"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
When you sit at home. That's where life happens. That's where your toddler builds towers, where your preschooler serves you pretend tea, where siblings create elaborate worlds with their toys.
What if those ordinary moments could become extraordinary opportunities for discipleship?
The Problem We Discovered
Christian parents today face a unique challenge. We're surrounded by amazing educational toys that teach colors, shapes, and problem-solving.
But where are the toys that naturally weave biblical truth into play? Where are the tools that make those Deuteronomy 6 conversations feel natural, not forced?
We searched toy stores and found a lot of nativity sets. There were minimal toys that could teach deep Biblical truth's like love, imago dei, etc.
Why shouldn't toys that point to Jesus be just as captivating, just as well-made, just as developmentally rich as other toys?
Our Mission Was Born
Manger Toys exists because we believe every Christian parent deserves tools that make discipleship at home or even on the go easy, all while meeting children in what they enjoy doing.
When your child stacks our "God's Banner" rainbow, they're not just learning colors, they're holding God's promise. It's an opportunity to teach about covenant.
When they play with our "Fruit of the Holy Spirit" cutting set, they're not just developing fine motor skills, they're discovering what love, joy, and patience look like in everyday life.
When they snuggle with our "Lion of Judah" rattle maybe discipleship is starting for you, and you realize that this is the opportunity that I have to pray over my child.
The Transformation We're Seeing
Parents tell us these toys have changed their homes:
"As a Christian mom I really enjoy partnering with a company that shares my values, I'm thrilled to have found them. The learning material is very encouraging."
"This toy is so good. So education and leaves so much room for teaching. And learning. Very cute and well made. My kids are loving it and I’m excited to get some feedback on it from our Sunday school kiddos."
"I used to stress about finding time for family devotions. Now, faith conversations happen naturally while we play."
This Is Why We Do What We Do
Because faith comes by hearing and research confirms that children hear best through play.
Because these commandments should be on our hearts and toys touch hearts in ways sermons sometimes can't.
Because impressing truth on our children doesn't have to be one more thing on your overwhelming parenting to-do list, it can be the most joyful part of your day.
We're not just making toys. We're creating tools that help you fulfill the greatest calling of parenthood: raising children who know and love Jesus.
Every block stacked, every pretend meal served, every cuddle with a soft rattle becomes a chance to whisper truth into little hearts.
