How to Make Paper Nativity Story Puppets
Nativity story characters are quick and easy to make. You can make them yourself, or let your kids have all the fun. Making them into puppets allows your kids to play out the nativity story over and over again. The materials are relatively easy to acquire and take little prep time. You may even consider laminating them so you can preserve them for years to come.
