Supplies to Make the Baby Jesus Christmas Craft
For this simple Christmas nativity craft you will need:
– A printed copy of the Baby Jesus printable template
– Crayons
– Regular Size Paper Plate
– Scissors (we love this brand of kid safe scissors)
– Raffia or Straw
How to Make the Baby Jesus Craft
First, print out a copy of the Baby Jesus template printable.
Next, supply your child with crayons or colored pencils to color the baby Jesus.
We colored Jesus’ face beige and the blanket on his body blue.
Now it’s time to cut! Have your child cut out the simple outline of Baby Jesus.
Next, have kids color a paper plate yellow to represent the manger to place Baby Jesus in.
Alternatively, you could have kids paint it yellow, or use a yellow plate.
Using some white school glue have kids glue the Baby Jesus to the center of the yellow paper plate.
Next, glue on some raffia or straw to the plate to represent the hay in the manger. Alternately, you could use thin strips of construction paper, brown paper shred, or gold glitter glue for the hay.
And…it’s finished!
What an easy Nativity Scene Craft for the holiday season! This is a great craft to pair with your Christmas story lesson plans.
Sunday School teachers and parents alike can use this craft to help kids understand the true meaning of Christmas and the real reason that gifts are exchanged.
