A Manger Scene











When Baby Jesus was born there was no room for Him,
 in an inn, so Mary's baby boy had to sleep in a manger.  
This is an easy craft for your child to make 
his own manger scene.














You'll need a piece of cardstock for a background,
craft sticks, popsicle sticks or coffee stirrers,
a pompom, wiggly eyes, a felt blanket
and some tacky glue.

This is a great craft for kids that love glue.
You have to use lots and that's just fun!

 

Make a nice blob of glue and cross your
craft stick to make a manger.


Cut strips of the brown paper for 
hay. 


Show you child how to fold the strips
like this:


Time for more glue!
It takes a decent amount to catch
all the "hay" to stick.


Glue the wiggly eyes to the pompom
and glue a felt square, or paper, 
for a blanket.


Then let it dry!!! 
Enjoy the Christmas story with your child!
