Christmas Nativity Scene
Felt Board Fun 

In this section I've put together some simple pages to go with the Christmas story.  When cutting out the images, you can cut out right around the character (older children and adults) or around the oval shape (younger children or if you're in a hurry)

You can use the tempaltes in a number of ways:

Use the sheets as... FELT BOARD CHARACTERS

bulletEither complete the black and white sheets as coloring pages (see above) 
OR
bulletprint the black and white sheets on appropriate colored construction paper
OR
bulletprint the color pages
  
bulletYou can cover with clear contact paper or laminate if you want them to last longer.
  
bulletCut out each page.
  
bulletCut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the back of each animal (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger piece of sandpaper).  The sandpaper will allow the characters to stick on your felt board.
  
bulletIf working with a group, give each child a character.  As you read the story, have the children bring up the appropriate character and put them on the board.

Use the sheets as... PUPPETS

bulletEither complete the black and white sheets as coloring pages (see above) 
OR
bulletprint the black and white sheets on appropriate colored construction paper
OR
bulletprint the color pages
  
bulletCut out each image and tape it to a popsicle stick or an unsharpened pencil.
  
bulletIf working with a group of children, each one can be a certain character.  
bulletWhen their part of the story comes up, they can wiggle around the puppet and either chant their section of the story.
