Bible-themed Christmas Crafts for Children

 

 

Celebrate the joyous occasion of Christ's birth with the engaging "Light of the World" 3D paper candle craft! This interactive activity provides a wonderful opportunity for children to learn how God sent His only Son to illuminate the world. As they work, discuss the powerful story of the Magi following the star to discover this incredible light.

This craft comes complete with a candle, a candle holder, and beautiful holly paper patterns. For those looking for a simpler version, you can create just the candle without the holder. Additionally, you can paint cooking oil on the flame pattern to make it translucent, allowing it to glow.

To create this craft, you will need paper, colored paper (Optional), scissors, clear tape, glue, and colored pencils or crayons to make this craft. Three printable patterns are included. This craft is available to members on The Resource Room and as an instant digital download.

How to Play:

1. Give each child a sticker sheet, a piece of paper and colored pencils.

2. Tell your children to draw a stable scene.

3. Take turns asking the children questions about the Christmas story. If a child gets a question correct, he or she gets to pick one of his stickers from the sticker sheet and place it on the stable scene. (If you don't have stickers, you can just have your children draw one character each time a question is answered correctly.)

4. Keep asking questions until every child has used all his or her stickers and completed the nativity scene.

You could also use "Make-A-Nativity" Stickers.

How to Make the Sock Doll Craft:

1. See the No-Sew Sock Doll Directions and the Sock Baby Directions on the Sock Crafts for Kids Page to make Baby Jesus. You don't have to make the feet because he will be wrapped in a blanket.

2. Wrap the sock doll in a piece of muslin. Cut a small circle from craft foam for the nose and draw on the eyes and mouth. Add a little bit of pink fabric paint or watercolor paint for the cheeks.

4. To make the manger roll up a large brown sock. Turn the sock inside out and roll it up so that the right side is showing. Roll it all the way to the toe until you have a donut shape.

5. Use strips of yellow material or natural raffia for the hay.
