Make a Christmas nativity scene with finger puppet characters and animals.
Remember to ask a grown-up for help.
This should take about 45 minutes
Print out the stable and puppets and stick them onto some card, colour them in and get a grown-up to cut them out for you. To make the puppets, wrap a strip of card around your finger, secure with tape and stick a character to it. Alternatively you can glue a lollypop stick or straw to the back of each character.
To make the stable, turn a shoe box onto its side and stick it to the inside of its lid. Ask a grown-up to cut a rectangle out of the bottom, big enough to fit your hand through. Now glue the stable sections onto the box using the picture on the left to help you.
Try covering the star in glitter and then attach it to the roof of the stable with a curled piece of card to make it springy. You could also stick the angels to the roof.
Place your finished stable onto a big box for you to hide in underneath the stable. Make sure there is a hole in it so you can put your hand up through it into the stable to move the puppets.
