How To Make Your Cut Out Nativity Scene
Obviously this nativity craft is super easy to make but here’s how we made ours!
First print out both pages of the craft onto white printer paper and then color them in using crayons, coloring pencils or markers.
If you’d like your nativity craft to be a little more sturdy then you can print it onto white cardstock instead.
Of course you don’t have to color the printable in, if you’re stretched for time then black and white is fine but I love the way that this looks once it’s colored and coloring can be a great quiet time or chilled out activity for kids too.
Once you’ve finished coloring use scissors to cut out all the different pieces on the second sheet.
You can now glue them into place in and around your stable. Don’t forget to stick the star above the barn.
