Let’s Dive in.
Setting up a Nativity Scene for Kids
Billions of people worldwide celebrate the birth of Jesus, making it a huge cultural and traditional practice, and no Christmas is complete without preparing the Nativity scene.
Even though we are not Christians, we love learning about different Cultures and Traditions. Hence, I created a Nativity scene to introduce the story to my child.
I designed and created these illustrations in the year 2020, and It gives me a lot of joy that my work brings the joy of Christmas to many families. Kids will enjoy making this craft and will adore the outcome.
How to Make a Nativity Scene?

Please read on for some instructions as I made two changes that aren’t explained in the video.
1. To make the background stiffer, I added a cardboard sheet to the rear.
2. The palm tree was thin and tall and thus wasn’t that steady. So I had Stuck a popsicle stick on the rear.
3. I have used cardstock paper in the video & above images (Standard printing). Recently, I printed a few characters in a Photopaper, and it came out vibrant and super awesome.
See the difference in the picture here.
So, I recommend using photo paper if your printer supports it.
Please note that you need to use a cylindrical bar to fold the characters as the photo paper is too stiff.
Storing the nativity set:
Store it in a cardboard box if you want to set it up again for next year. Just stack the characters one above the other like this. It will be fine!
I believe this would be a great craft project, and older kids can have fun making this with little help from elders.
