New traditions can be fun. Yesterday we had some friends over and the kids created these cute little stables with Mary, Joseph, shepherds, sheep, a donkey, angles and of course Baby Jesus. This was the perfect activity for kids of all ages, ours ranged from 2 1/2 years-9 years and all were happily engaged during the entire time. J. the youngest enjoyed eating the candy, watching the "big kids" and talking, while W. the oldest carefully constructed and decorate each piece of his nativity.
Here are the final projects. They turned out pretty cute. (Click on the picture if you would like to see a larger version.) Now each of my children have their own nativity displayed in their rooms.
The idea came from here with instructions and a recipe for frosting. I just used store bought frosting and took inspiration from the picture.
It was a great morning with friends to celebrate and remember the greatest gift that was born on Christmas morning in, as E. would say, "a humble stable."
Merry Christmas!
