As all of the above is home made and fairly cheap to make let your children play with it! If they are young you might want to take away the pipe cleaner first though.
Making a home made Nativity is just another way of celebrating the real Christmas story and keeping Jesus at the centre of the season. As you make it together talk about the story.
What to teach our children about Christmas….
- It’s a true story
- It happened a long time ago
- God had promised to send Jesus as the Saviour
- Angels aren’t the same as fairies! They are messengers from God
- Jesus was a real baby
- Jesus was God the Son
There is always truth for children to learn from the Bible. As you share the story take the time to explain why the first Christmas happened.
You could have a go at learning part of the bible together……
‘you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins’ Matthew 1:21
