Build A Manger For Baby Jesus

I like to have hands on visuals for my class as much as possible.

Build a manger for baby jesus.

A few years after we had built our house we purchased an outdoor nativity set that came with mary joseph and baby jesus so we could display an outdoor nativity scene. Deciding to build a manger. Build the body of the manger. Roll the baby jesus craft up and glue it into a cylinder.

Have this mind among yourselves which is yours in christ jesus who though he was in the form of god did not count equality with god a thing to be grasped but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant being born in the likeness of men. Choose your face colour from the baby jesus craft printable and cut it out along with the white rectangle. Place a manger in your home. Space the 7 remaining pieces of wood along the top of the legs to create the manger.

And i try to make things as cheap as i can but i want visuals that i can use over and over. We loved the idea. Every time someone does something kind invite that person to place a piece of straw in the manger to welcome the baby jesus. Use a hammer and nails to nail the piece into the v on both sets of legs.

Then and there tim and i decided that we would use a manger as the focus of our christmas décor. When you think of the baby jesus in the manger i urge you to consider the incredible example of manhood in jesus christ. Glue the face onto the top middle of the white rectangle. Draw on baby jesus face and some lines to make the swaddling.

Make your own manger for baby jesus.
