Comment

The motif was inspired by the last day of school before the holiday break. Tomorrow's a vacation! Let the days of fun, snow and freedom begin! But first, students must perform the traditional play featuring the Three Wise Men in front of parents and families.

Packaging :
The play is encapsulated and presented in a padded burgundy double-shell case protected by a black sheath.Automatically translated
