Stable Backdrop

Made from a Fridge Box, which came from a local appliance store. Just ask, in my case they have the used appliance boxes piled behind their store. You'll need a truck to transport home and be prepared to go through the cardboard yourself to find one.

I have posted the directions, with more photos here.

Below photo: I hung black stretchy fabric, held in place with binder clips along top edge, to give it a night-time look, which also hides actors behind the stable.

The black fabric can be flip over to the other side, as well, as I covered the back in shelf paper to represent a city wall or building so it can be used with multiple bible stories.

We use it in our Christmas Drama Workshops and also for Pageants. Folds fairly flat for storing and holds up well as ours is over 14 years old.

The cut-outs and fabric also makes it a fun puppet stage—from either side. Here's an example below, when we used the back of the stable prop with a bunch of sheep puppets.
