How to Make Jesus Plaster Cups
To make this beautiful Jesus cup, find a clear glass or jelly jar or a small glass dish, an assortment of jesus pictures cut to fit inside glass, scissors, patching plaster (a one-pound package should fill about 12 small glasses), knife, 1 piece of felt or blotter paper large enough to cover drinking side of glass, and glue. Allow child to choose the picture he would like for his picture glass. Moisten the picture and place it face down in the bottom of the dish or around the side of the glass. Mix patching plaster with water until it is thick. Fill glass or dish, being careful not to let the picture slip. Smooth the top of the plaster with a knife and allow it to set until hard. Cut a piece of felt or blotter paper large enough to cover top of glass and glue it to the plaster. Turn the glass upside down and place on dresser or desk.
Baby Jesus in Manger Card
Look at the diagrams above to make a pop-out manger cradle for baby Jesus to lay in. The paper sizes are 9x12 inches and 9x6 inches. The smaller piece of of paper should be folded in half and then unfold. Then fold the bottom to the center fold. And then fold the top to the center fold as well. Unfold and you will have 4 sections of paper....1, 2, 3, and 4. Cut part of section 3 and 4 out as seen in the sketch above. Now glue section one onto the bigger piece of paper as seen in illustration b. Then bend it naturally to glue the tabs onto section 1 as seen in illustration c. Now you have the manger cradle. You can fill the cradle with grass or cotton or ripped paper or just print out paper baby jesus and paper hay. You can cut out the paper jesus and stick him inside the cradle and cut out the hay and stick it around him.
Making Pipe Cleaner Baby Jesus for Manger Card Above
To make this, just grab 2 pipecleaners and twist and turn according to the instructions above. Just bend like a cursive letter 'e' (picture a). Stick the 2nd pipe cleaner thru the 1st pipe cleaner (picture b). Twist that 2nd pipe cleaner down like an upside down letter 'u' or 'v' for legs (picture c). Then twist that pipe cleaner until it looks like (picture d). Then twist and turn the arms and legs the way a baby would have them. Glue or Scotch tape face to doll - you can get one from a magazine picture or use this baby drawing. Place in manger bed and cover with small piece of cloth.
Make a Paper Chain to Illustrate the Love Jesus Has for ALL Children
It is a LOT of fun to make these children chains and it can illustrate a story of how loving, caring, and understanding Jesus is to ALL children, no matter what religion, race, or religion they are. Fold a piece of paper in half 3 times. Then draw a girl or boy shape on the paper along the hinge. To make many, many dolls, you can tape them together in a long chain.
Let the Kids Paint a Beautiful Scenery for When Jesus Met with All The Children
For this craft, you will need a 10-ft. strip of wrapping paper or craft paper, thumbtacks, poster paints and brushes, cutouts of children, large figure of Jesus, and paste. Start off by tacking the paper on the wall low enough for children to reach. Explain to the children that they may make a picture of the happy time when the boys and girls went to see Jesus. Let them paint a scene of trees, grass and flowers—something of their own interpretation of the pathway where the children ran to meet Jesus. Perhaps some of them will want to paint birds in the picture. Provide cutouts of children and a figure of Jesus for the children to paste on the scene. If you don't have any pictures, here are some printouts to use - Jesus and Kids ... More Kids.

Open. Fold each end to center crease, to make four sections, as pictured above. Overlap two end sections and paste thesetogether to form a triangle, as seen above. Child may paste Jesus' picture on one side of triangle. You can write something like 'Jesus Loves Me!' under his picture.
