Nativity Craft for Kids — Printable Christmas Bible Story Kit (Stand-Up Stable Scene, 12 Pages)

The night the King was born, in a stable that stands on your table. Print it, color it, cut it out: Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger, a shepherd and his sheep, the angel who brought the good news, and a donkey, all standing up and ready to play the story from Luke 2.

WHAT YOU GET (12 pages, US Letter and A4)

• The Christmas story from Luke 2 to read aloud, with the angel's words quoted straight from the Bible
• Stand-ups to color and cut: Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger, a shepherd, two sheep, an angel and a donkey
• Play the story: seven simple steps to act it out with a shoebox stable
• A page about the wise men, who came later, to a house, following the star (Matthew 2:9 and 2:11)
• A full-page coloring picture, four questions to talk about and a drawing frame
• Four verse cards: Luke 2:11, World English Bible, word for word
• A grown-ups page with a 10-minute home version and a Sunday-school version
• Where this story sits on the ten-stop Bible Trail

TRUE TO THE BIBLE, DOWN TO THE DETAILS. Luke 2 tells of the manger, the shepherds and the angels. Matthew 2 says the wise men found the young child in a house. So our stable has no star and no wise men; they get a page of their own. Children love being the ones who know.

FOR HOME OR A CLASS. Crayons, scissors and plain paper (card stock makes the figures sturdier). One purchase covers one home, or one class or group. Teaching more than one class? Choose the Church & Ministry option to print for every class at one church.

KEEP GOING. Loved this? The Advent Adventure walks through the whole Christmas story over 25 days, and this kit's story is Days 13 to 19.
