Christmas time is the perfect time to introduce and do a craft with your children, around the birth of Christ. I recently picked up these Nativity Scene foam stickers from Hobby Lobby and they inspired our latest MIXED MEDIA tutorial!

Mixed Media Nativity Scene – Christmas Kid Craft Idea

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a Nativity scene on display and a handmade Nativity scene is best of all!

Our Nativity character stickers in this craft are from Hobby Lobby but other than that, the other supplies can be found pretty much anywhere! If you can’t find the stickers I used, may I suggest you hand-draw them or substitute with these similar “affiliate link” ones from Amazon?!

Now onto the craft! I hope you are inspired and are compelled to share pictures with us afterwards ;-) It seriously makes my day, so tag us on your social media sites or use our special branded hashtag #gluedtomycrafts on Instagram, for us to see!

PAIR YOUR CHRISTMAS NATIVITY CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Baby Jesus In A Manger – Kid Craft

Mixed Media Nativity Scene Craft Supplies:

• Brown Cardstock Paper {one sheet per craft}
• Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {four per craft}
• Tan Crinkle Paper or Yarn
• School Glue
• Nativity Scene Stickers {affiliate link}

Directions:

• First you will want to take your FOUR JUMBO POPSICLE STICKS and glue them into the center of your cardstock paper, to create the barn. You need two sticks for the wall and two for the roof.
• From there, you are going to glue a good amount of “crinkle paper” on the bottom of the barn for the straw.
• Next and the final step – add the Nativity stickers to the paper to create the scene. If you are not able to find the stickers, I suggest hand-drawing or maybe using a die cut machine to make all the pieces. The stickers are just the easiest in my opinion!
• When done with all the steps, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
