I had so much fun planning Christmas activities for my class this year. I never minded teaching in classrooms where we did not celebrate but I sure had fun this year teaching something I never have outside of Sunday School before. Here are some great ideas and nativity crafts that I used ( or wished I’d had more time to) in my classroom and a few for older kids too. I hope you have time to squeeze one of these great nativity crafts into your playtime before Christmas.
Nativity Activities & Sensory Play
Nativity Scene Find & Fill Scavenger Hunt is a great way to teach the Christmas story to young kids.
This Nativity Small World from Imagination Tree lets kids play with all the figures.
This nativity activity would be great with a Sunday school class or as a family tradition the way Toddler Approved does it every year.
I love this nativity sensory bin from Golden Reflections
Sun Hats and Wellie Boots has a lovely Nativity Tree.
You might want to see how Happy Hooligans created their nativity sensory box too.
The Holy Family & Manger Crafts
This paper bag manger from I Can Teach My Child is brilliant!
I love this nativity wreath from Rainy Day Mum
How cute is this paper roll nativity scene from Happy Hooligans?
This nativity sun catcher from Housing a Forrest is beautiful.
I did this nativity scene sun catcher with my class this year. Not only does it help teach shapes it shines in any light.
This nativity silhouette from Joyfully Weary is simple and beautiful!
Wise Men Crafts
I love these Paper Roll Three Kings from Red Ted Art
These Stick Wise Men from Made By Mollie’s Mom would make great puppets!
Don’t forget about the camels the three wise men came on. Red Ted Art shows us how to make the camels too.
My son loved making these Wise Men out of travel sized shampoo bottles.
Angel Crafts
I love this sweet angel craft from Toddler Approved.
You can make a beautiful angel sun catcher like we did!
What’s not to love with these toilet paper roll angels from NurtureStore ?
Toddlers can have fun making this coffee filter angel too.
