THIS IS A NATIVITY SCENE THAT THE CHILDREN CAN BUILD UP ON THE DAYS LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS

The first thing they can download is the stable.  As Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus will be the last things to go in, we suggest that the children colour in the outline and leave the inside blank.  

A new piece of the nativity scene is available for you to download after the children have coloured in the first part, or you may wish to download it all at once.

This is a project they can add to and hang on the wall, as their contribution to your homes Christmas decorations. Later on, they can paste some straw after the donkey goes in as he will give the line of the floor.  Where Mary and Joseph and the crib will be, we will put a blank outline.  That is the only bit we will outline.  We thought we would let the child decide where they want to put the 3 wisemen, camels, sheep, shepherds and angels.  You may want to advise them if they are very little, and make sure things like the straw isn't in the way of the pasting.

Each piece will be pasted on.

Things you could need:

Straw or cut grass, glitter, cotton wool for the sheep, maybe pretty trims for the wisemen's gifts or robes.

The stable.   Colour in the outline of the stable, the hills and the sky as well as the big star.  They might like to put some glitter on the big star and add other stars with a dab of glue and a shake of the glitter.  Click the pictures to go to large download screen to print out, some of them are down the page a bit so if you get a white looking screen, look further down to make sure it is there.

The donkey fits in the stable.  The camels can either be on the edge of the page with the wisemen pasted over the edge of the stable or the camels can be coming out from the edge of the stable but you will need to reverse them.

  The angel can either hover over the stable or  you can extend her and she can just be over the shepherds.

The Christmas Family fits in the stable.   They are to the left of the donkey.  There should be a space for them.  If the line is not quite in the right place, just white it out if it is visible, and colour over.
