The Nativity Watercolor Painting is a great addition to the Nativity crafts<\/a> and cookie cutter crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n The nativity is the story of the birth of Jesus or the birth of Christ described in the biblical gospels of Luke and Matthew. This is the story about Mary and Joseph and when Jesus was born, and it is a great story to tell every Christmas.<\/p>\n You use watercolor paper and then cookie cutters to make the nativity with kids. You can learn names like Baby Jesus, Mary, Joesph, the star, the angels, the donkey, and sheep. These are the cookie cutters we had in our set. But you could use others like the shepherds and the wise men. <\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n We love reading The First Christmas Night<\/a>. It is a great nativity story and works great with this painting activity.<\/p>\n You are see the steps below we used to make the nativity watercolor painting.<\/p>\n You want to start with baby Jesus first to have him in the center of the paper. You hold the outside of the cookie cutter and then paint with watercolors inside the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n We have found that bigger paint brushes are better when painting inside cookie cutters. But any size can be used.<\/p>\n After you finish one part, you head to the next part of the nativity scene. You can see that we painted Mary next. You will want to pick different colors for each part of the Nativity.<\/p>\n You can keep painting more parts of the nativity. It is great way to explore the nativity while painting.<\/p>\n You could also check out this easy nativity craft<\/a><\/p>\n If you are doing this in a small group, great idea might be to read the story and paint as you go.
