happy monday! i’m so happy you stopped by today, because i have a great christmas craft for the kids that i’m sharing. my little guy loves them and i’m sure yours will too!
check out these adorable christmas finger puppets!
i teamed up with Kori from Paper & Pigtails {go check out her gorgeous designs!} to design these cute finger puppets for christmas. there are loads of christmas printables out there, but i wanted a fun activity or craft to help teach my little guys about the true meaning of christmas. and this set of nativity finger puppets is perfect for this!
as you can see, these paper finger puppets are a hit in our home!
To Make Paper Finger Puppets
1. first print off the free download for the Nativity Finger Puppets.
2. let your little person color the little figerines.
3. cut out each character. {there are 2 of each figure on each puppet so that it shows on front and back of your finger. brilliant idea, Kori!}
4. fold in half along the dotted line.
5. tape the 2 long sides together to leave the bottom open for a finger.
6. insert finger to make a puppet!
aren’t these so perfect for “reenacting” the Christmas story? or to use while reading the Christmas story from the bible to engage your younguns?
Free Download
there are 10 Christmas figures to make 10 finger puppets.

Oh my goodness! These are simply fabulous. I’m printing mine off right now. Thank you!
THANK YOU! I teach a class of 3-4 year olds at my church, and these will be PERFECT for my lesson next week on the birth of Christ!
Can’t wait to get to my dad’s house tomorrow and print a set for the kids!
These are wonderful! Thank you so much! I am taking a set to my sisters this weekend for my kids and nieces and nephew to create and we will read the story. So awesome!
This is perfect for my preschool class this week! Thanks for sharing!
Oh Linda, I so glad you did this! I have been looking for months for simple images of the Nativity. I want to make blocks for the nursery room in our church and haven’t been able to find uncolored pictures or even scrapbook stickers to use. These are perfect because I can add more sheep and other items so there are more blocks to play with. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks for the great take home project for my 3&4 year old class! Was looking at a lot of different ways to tell the Christmas story but the manger scene still says it best!
thanks for stopping by, Nadine! hope your class loves them!
