Christmas in the Manger

December 3, 2011 by Maureen Spell Leave a Comment

I just think the illustrations in Christmas in the Manger  (afflink)are too cute! This sturdy and cute board book is perfect for babies through preschool and was our book of the day.

Summary: The simple, rhyming text and cute illustrations are a perfect way to share the Christmas story with very young children. First the animal are introduced, then the shepherds, wise men, Mary and Jesus.

I don’t plan on doing crafts for every single book we read this season, but if I have an idea, I go with it. I was inspired by the illustrations in this book and had so much fun coming up with a craft. The characters were simple yet cute. So I looked around my house and found some simple objects to use for our craft.

 

“I am the baby
asleep in the hay,
and I am the reason
for Christmas Day.”
~Nola Buck

Isn’t this the cutest Bottle Cap Baby Jesus? I have complete step-by-step instructions over at The Homeschool Village today. 🙂
