18 Nativity Crafts for Kids to Make and learn about the first Christmas
We have been doing so much crating with the kids for Chrismas – they just love to make all the things this time of year! While we were working on our Elf crafts and Santa crafts we also wanted to focus on our favorite party of (and the part that really matters), the Nativity!
