Adorable Nativity Crafts for Kids
There are a lot of Christmas crafts out there that have nothing to do with the religious meaning behind the Christmas holiday, but these nativity crafts are not those!
Celebrate the reason for the season with these crafts that are designed to be done at home or at school (or Sunday school!) with one child or many.
It’s a great time to turn on some Christmas carols, sip some hot cocoa and talk about the birth of Jesus while you make one (or more!) of these adorable nativity crafts with your kids.
What You’ll Need for Your Nativity Crafts
These holiday crafts are rather simple and don’t require a lot of expensive or unusual materials. While each craft is unique and you’ll want to make sure that you have everything that it requires, here are the staples that most of the crafts need:
- scissors
- tape
- glue or glue stick
- crayons
- markers
- paint
- construction paper
As always, be sure to check that you have everything for your chosen craft before starting. There’s nothing worse than starting a craft with kids and getting midway through it only to find you’re missing some important materials!
Once you have all of your supplies, it’s time to get crafting! Have fun!
