Angels & Shepherds & Wisemen, Oh My! A Nativity Crafts Collection

December 7, 2016 by Abi Leave a Comment

Enjoy some family fun with this collection of nativity crafts for every age that includes each character and symbol commonly found in the Christmas story.

 

My kids love to make crafts and do projects. Since we’re focusing on the Christmas story this Advent season, I’ve compiled a list of Nativity crafts for all ages.

Each one of these depicts characters or a symbol commonly found in the Christmas story. There’s a great variety here, so kids of all sizes can find one that’s age or ability appropriate.

Scroll through and find something fun to create with your family. If you’re not a fan of traditional crafts, then maybe you’ll like the Jesus in the Manger cookie at the end. I happen to be partial to that one since it’s one of my few original ideas!
