Sheep Snack

Gather pretzels, pretzel sticks, marshmallows, and a plate. (Note: I used mini/regular sizes of these items, but the jumbo would work as well.)

Place four pretzel sticks in the bottom of the marshmallow to be legs. (Note: If they are too long, break them off into equal lengths and then add to the marshmallow.)

 Place the pretzel in the middle of the marshmallow to be the sheep’s face. (And then enjoy a yummy snack!)

The shepherds were taking care of their sheep when an angel came and told them that Jesus had been born. They were so excited—they went to see God’s Son!

Stable Scene

Gather crackers, sliced cheese, a mini star cookie cutter, a boiled egg, 

a cupcake liner, and a plate.

Cut the boiled egg in half and place it in the cupcake liner to be baby Jesus. Place it near the center of the plate.

 Place crackers around the cupcake liner to be the stable.

Make stars with the cheese and star cutter. Place one at the top of the stable. (And others around the plate if you’d like.)

 Jesus, God’s Son, was born in a stable!    

Angel Cup

Gather a small white Styrofoam cup, a coffee filter, a gold or yellow pipe cleaner, white paper, a black marker, tape, and scissors.

Cut a circle proportional to the cup to be the angel’s face and add facial features with the marker.

 Fold the coffee filter in half and tape onto the back of the cup to be the wings.

Tape the face to the cup above the wings.

Bend one end of the pipe cleaner into a circle and then bend the rest down straight under it. Trim to an appropriate length.

Stick the “halo” into the center top of the cup. Your angel is complete!

An angel came to tell Mary she would have a special baby—Jesus, God’s Son!

Baking Biscuits

Gather a baking sheet and the supplies needed for baking any biscuit of your choice.

Follow the directions to prep your biscuit dough.

Place the biscuit dough on the baking sheet and bake as needed.  

Your biscuits are ready! Pull them out of the oven and let them cool before eating

God gave the woman enough flour and oil to make bread for Elijah, herself, and her son. Elijah was so thankful for the food! She was a happy helper.

Bandage Art

Gather a box of colorful Band-Aids and a piece of white copy paper, cardstock, or construction paper.

Unwrap the Band-Aids and let your child decorate the page with them anyway they’d like to create their own Band-Aid art!

The Good Samaritan put bandages on the hurt man’s boo-boos. He was such a Happy Helper to stop and help the hurt man!

Hammer Box

Gather a clear plastic bin, a toddler toy hammer, and crunchy pantry items to fill the bin such as croutons, cheerios, and pasta noodles.

Fill the bin with the items you’ve collected.

Let your child hammer the items in the box and hear them crunch!

Nehemiah worked hard to build a wall. He was a Happy Helper! God made us to be Happy Helpers too!

Clothesline

Gather a few pieces of colored construction paper, 2 craft sticks, a piece of yarn or string (around 8-10-inches long), a few mini clothespins, markers, scissors, and tape.

 Draw a few simple clothing outlines on the construction paper and cut out.

 Let your child color the clothing any way they’d like.

Next, make your clothesline by taping the string to the top of each craft stick.

 Hang the clothes with the mini clothespins.

 Tabitha made clothes for people who needed them. I am so thankful for people who help us—like people who give us clothes!
