Christian Christmas crafts and resources for kids

It's not easy to find Christian Christmas crafts for kids, in a world that is obsessed with the "festive' and 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 ideas that kids can enjoy at Christmas time. This is where I link to craft pages on my own site as well as 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.

Honesty Point: On this page, I review and link to products produced by other moms, as well as my own pages and products. If you purchase an item through my link, I may receive a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting my site!

Simple Paper Crafts

Path Through The Narrow Gate 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 in a large classroom 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 would be the free Christmas bookmarks - your child can simply colour them in and cut them out!

Nativity Christmas Lapbook

This Nativity Story Bible Study Lapbook is a lovely way to help your child get a deeper understanding of Jesus, the events surrounding his birth, and God's plan for Jesus' life.

Suitable for kids aged 5- 12, there are a variety of typical lapbook activities, such as accordion books, layered books, wheels and copywork.

I really appreciate the quality and depth of the Bible studies. These go deeper than just the familiar stories in the gospels, and your child will be looking at Old Testament prophecies, as well New Testament letters (such as Romans and Galatians) which reveal more about Who Jesus is and the reason He came.

The only thing I did not really enjoy about this Nativity lapbook was the illustrations. The author stayed away from cutesy nativity illustrations, but the woodland animals she used instead just did not do anything for me! I personally would choose neutral illustrations like stars and scrolls LOL.

But if you don't mind the woodland illustrations, then the quality of the content will really inspire and encourage your kids this Christmas.

Truth In The Tinsel
Daily Devotions and Activities for Preschoolers

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.

Primarily directed at preschool kids, older kids will still enjoy the lessons and bringing their own twist to the crafts.

Each day has a Bible passage focus (a mix of Old Testament and New Testament passages), followed by a simple craft to hang on your tree.

Truth in the Tinsel

There are 24 lessons and Christian Christmas crafts for kids of preschool age, but if you don’t have time to do a daily lesson and craft, the author helpfully shows how you can mix and match lessons to fit your schedule.

For example, you can do a 6-day theme on the basics of Christmas; a 10 day theme on the characters of Christmas; a 7 day theme on the prophecies…and so on.

The author provides you with helpful discussion points so that you can chat to your kids about the Bible passage while doing the craft (or before doing the craft, whichever suits their learning style!).

The crafts are photographed and instructions are clear. They make use of easily available resources.

The hands-on 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 e-book is a fantastic choice if you are looking to do daily or regular devotions as a family to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

The crafts are really simple and use readily available resources, but if you don't have time to make them, you can buy the printable ornaments download for your kids to color, cut out and hang up instead. A great time saver for mom!

Names of Jesus: Family Advent and Activities

I found that once my kids had done a few years of Truth in the Tinsel, they were ready for something new, and I scratched around the internet to come up with the resources for advent devotionals using the Names of Jesus, which we really enjoyed, but it was a lot of work!

Well, Tauna over at the Proverbial Homemaker, has put together a lovely advent devotional on the Names of Jesus that I wish I had access to a few years back! This is a great resource if you want everything in one place!

With this printable advent devotional you will get:

  • 4 main devotions and 4 memory verses (to coincide with the 4 Sundays of advent, but you can do them anytime).
  • 25 daily readings with 25 different Names of Jesus. After the readings, your child can color and cut out an ornament with the Name on it, or color the ornament on the "tree" that is given (the ornaments are a bit tricky to cut, so better suited to older kids)
  • coloring pages and activity sheets related to the memory verses, and copywork pages related to the Names of Jesus

This is a thoughtful and encouraging advent devotional, one that you can use over and over again each year!

What I do is cut up the daily readings and put them into our wooden advent calendar with doors (kind of like this one on Amazon), with little chocolates. This is my affiliate link and I may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through my link.

Each morning one of my kids opens a door, to get the reading and the chocolate. I'll be honest, we don't manage to sit down and do the readings every day, so there are days when we do a couple at a time to catch up! But it is so worth the effort to create a tradition like this!
