Nativity Crafts and Activities for Kids

It’s Christmas time and I always love finding ideas that help you point your family’s hearts to Jesus.

Today I am bringing you a collection of 12 simple, fun crafts, printables, and activities that celebrate the nativity.

Any of these ideas would work well at a Happy Birthday Jesus party (like the one we did HERE a few years ago).
