I Need to Make Mini Human Figures That Stand Up Easy

One thing you see at most houses at Christmas time is a Nativity Scene.  But, the problem with the store bought Nativity Scenes is that they are usually very delicate…. too delicate for the children to actually play with.  And, the thing about that is…. children love to play with the Nativity Scenes.  I mean, what's not to want to touch…. there are small people, animals and a manger.  There is an entire scene for the kids to want to act out with the characters.  Well, why not make a Nativity Scene craft ….. put together a Nativity Scene of your very own that the children can actually play with.  So, today I have put together a bunch of Fun Nativity Scene Crafts that I have found around the internet.  All are a ton of fun…. and they are all meant to be played with.

Check out our other Christmas Crafts.
