Share

Description

Bring the story of Jesus’ birth to life with this interactive Nativity craft! Students will love making the shepherds “move” toward the manger on Christmas night. Perfect for Sunday School, Children’s Church, Christian schools, or homeschool Bible lessons during the Christmas season.

What’s Included:
✅ Printable shepherd cutouts (circle option or detailed cut option)
✅ Manger background page
✅ Step-by-step student-friendly directions
✅ Easy prep for teachers

How It Works:

  1. Print the pages (black-and-white for coloring).
  2. Students color the shepherds and manger.
  3. Cut out the shepherds and attach to a craft stick.
  4. Cut along the dotted line and slide the shepherds into place.
  5. Move the shepherds along the path to “see Baby Jesus.”

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Hands-on, interactive way to teach the Christmas story
  • Encourages creativity and fine motor skills
  • Low-prep—just print, color, cut, and assemble
  • Great for ages 4–8 (younger kids may need cutting help)

✨ Use it as a stand-alone craft, part of your Christmas Bible lesson, or in a Nativity unit study.

My experience includes classroom teaching, teaching English language learners, homeschooling my own children, and leading children’s ministry alongside my husband, Michael. I love creating activities that make kids curious and excited to learn! In my store, you’ll find reading comprehension, phonics, math games, science and history activities, building challenges, and KJV Bible lessons. My resources combine meaningful practice with stories, games, and hands-on fun. My goal is to provide affordable, easy-to-use resources that help teachers, families, and churches spend less time preparing and more time connecting with the children they teach.
