HOW TO MAKE BABY JESUS IN THE MANGER
First print out the template and cut all the pieces out. Color the circle with the crayon.
Then cut the white construction paper into a square.
Use the left-over strip of white construction paper and tear it into short strips.
Now glue these strips to the oval shape template. Once the shape is covered, tear around the edges to define the oval shape again.
Next, use the marker to draw the face onto the circle and glue it onto the oval body.
Then, take the rounded square shape and trace it onto the construction paper. Don’t use the scissors, but tear around the edges. It’s okay if it’s a little sloppy and off the lines.
Glue the brown paper to the white square paper.
Now, take the yellow construction paper and tear around the edges, then tear in half. Tear each half into narrow strips.
Glue the yellow strips to the brown paper.
Finally, glue the baby Jesus to the center of the manger. The craft is complete.
