It's not easy to find Christian Christmas crafts for kids, in a world that is obsessed with the "festive" holiday season! It is often a constant battle to keep our own eyes focused on Jesus, never mind keeping our kids' eyes focused on Him!
With 3 kids of my own, I have done my fair share of searching for
nativity-based Christmas activity ideas that kids will enjoy. This page
is a mixture of my own resources/activities as well as those created by
others.
This page is a work in progress and will be added to as time goes by - but for now, just click on the links to view the section of the page you are interested in! I've also added some advent devotionals that I have used over the years.
My free Christmas Paper Crafts page has instructions on how to turn a simple nativity picture into a lovely nativity collage using popsicle sticks and torn paper.
If you like this, then my printable activity pack will give you 7 different nativity scenes to create a variety of different collages!
This is a simple angel craft using chenille sticks and pony beads.

Kids Bible Teacher has some simple, but effective, Christian Christmas crafts for kids
This free Christmas ornament with the Names of Jesus is a great activity for parents to do with their kids.
Have your children cut out the circles (20 of them spread over 2 pages) and then you can help them fold the circles along the marked line, and paste them together to make a lovely paper Christmas ornament.
This is not the best activity to use with a large class unless you have one adult for every 2 kids LOL as the sticking is rather time consuming, but it is great for smaller groups.
A simpler activity for a large group of kids would be the free Christmas bookmarks - your child can simply color them in and cut them out!
My (mostly) nativity-themed Christmas cutting templates will give your child lots of cutting practice with lovely end products to build your child’s confidence.
You can build a scene of Bethlehem, make a paper lantern, create layered shapes to use on gift cards and gift tags, and much more.
There are 17 different scissor cutting paper crafts, all with photographed instructions and a variety of templates - over 40 templates in all!
All the activities are photographed so you and your child can see what you are working towards

Okay, technically these are not Christmas crafts, but if you are generally looking for Christian Christmas activities for kids, then you may be interested in the pack of word searches I created specifically with a nativity theme.
Word searches are a great way to help kids work on figure-ground perception and visual discrimination skills, and these Bible-based nativity-themed word searches can help build those skills.
The word search topics include Isaiah 9:6, the angel's message to Joseph, to Mary and to the shepherds, the birth of Jesus, the visit of the Magi, Zechariah and Elizabeth, and Simeon's Song, among others.

This was my favorite Christmas resource when my kids were little! The focus of this e-book is on Bible-based lessons and crafts that bring out the real meaning of Christmas.
These hands-on Christian Christmas crafts are accessible to young children, and will create lasting memories for them. We still have some of these decorations on our tree even though my kids are teens now!
This resource is a fantastic investment if you are looking to do daily or regular devotions as a family to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
