After finishing up my collection of Free Nativity Printables and Coloring Pages and our Advent and Jesse Tree Activities post, I decided I needed to expand that a little bit and also have a collection of Nativity Crafts and Activities. Because sometimes we get tired of coloring and cutting and pasting and writing and we just want to build. Build! It’s like the mantra of this household. So many hours around the LEGO® buckets!
Seriously, I’m hoping having some building and crafting Nativity projects will make our Christmas celebration just a little more palatable for all the boys in this house. And the crafty girls. Just all of us. We are going to build and play and learn about Jesus all month long! In fact – there are over 50 ways to play the Nativity story in this list, and they are all top notch ideas for nativity crafts and activities your kids will love! Seriously, the Brick Challenge for the Nativity Story – that’s like over the top genius.
And just for the record, I’m also kinda excited about the Nativity Snacks in this collection. Wow.
