Build A Manger For Baby Jesus

Deciding to build a manger.

Build a manger for baby jesus.

Then and there tim and i decided that we would use a manger as the focus of our christmas décor. To create the slatted look begin by placing one piece of wood across the sets of legs at the place where they meet in the middle of the v shape they create. Build the body of the manger. Use a hammer and nails to nail the piece into the v on both sets of legs.

Draw on baby jesus face and some lines to make the swaddling. 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. Space the 7 remaining pieces of wood along the top of the legs to create the manger. I like to have hands on visuals for my class as much as possible.

Make your own manger for baby jesus. The set tends to blow over very easily and i was tired of constantly picking up the pieces. Place baby jesus into his manger. We loved the idea.

And i try to make things as cheap as i can but i want visuals that i can use over and over. 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. Glue the face onto the top middle of the white rectangle.

Roll the baby jesus craft up and glue it into a cylinder.
