Watch Retooning Christmas to learn the truth behind the nativity scene. It’s a fun cartoon based video packed with meaning. All members of the family will love it. And it might just open up a ton of dialogue around that nativity scene in the corner of your room.
Make this simple star ornament. It is a great craft idea for a Christmas party at church or to keep kids busy while last minute preparations are being completed in the kitchen on Christmas Day.
Supplies:
3 white pipe cleaners (per child), various beads in white and gold, gold ribbon
Twist two pipe cleaners together at their middle to form an “X”. Place the third pipe cleaner horizontal over the X and twist around to hold in place.
String the beads on each of the six pipe cleaner halves, making a design with the beads. For a smaller star, cut the ends of the pipe cleaners to the desired length. After all the beads are on the pipe cleaners, bend the end around the last bead to keep it in place.
Tie the gold ribbon to an end, making a loop for a hanger.
