I thought it would be FUN for my little ones to tell the Christmas story to one another, as well as others, so I decided to come up with simple DIY Nativity Puppets.
And they have had a ball with them.
Supplies Needed:
- Print DIY Nativity on white cardstock
- Laminate (optional)
- craft sticks
- Elmer glue
How it Worked for us:
- The children counted (10) craft sticks out of the stack
- My 6 and 9-year-old cut out there figures themselves, but I helped my 3 year-old
- They glued the sticks on the back of the puppets
- They initialed the back of their figures
- They stored the puppets in a 5×7 manilla envelope for later use
The children can retell the Christmas story to others, such as, nursery home residents, family gatherings and to their friends.
It is a FUN way for our children to spread the gospel with these simple DIY nativity puppets.

These are so cute! Have you considered making them so that the kids can color them? They would be a great project for a pre-school class!
Yes, I plan on making them available next year. I ran out of time this year.
