Popsicle Stick Manger Craft

Nativity Craft for Kids ~ Popsicle Stick Manger

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays.  I love creating Christmas crafts with the kids, especially ones that involve the nativity.  Today we are making a classic nativity craft that uses material you probably have on hand.  Brings me right back to my Sunday School days, sitting in the basement of our church.

Nativity Craft for Kids ~ Popsicle Stick Manger

Glue the popsicle stick manger together.  White glue totally works, but you may want to use a hot glue gun to make things go a little quicker.

Glue the brown paper triangle onto the popsicle stick manger.

Next have the kids draw a face on a circle that represents baby Jesus, and glue it onto the manger.

Glue raffia to the ends of the popsicle sticks to make the tree hanger.  Also glue a few snippets of Raffia to the manger to represent the straw.
