Religious Christmas Crafts Kids

Merry Christmas! Let’s celebrate the birth of Jesus with these religious christmas crafts kids.

Christmas is not just about Santa and presents, there is a very religious meaning behind this holiday. It is Jesus’ birthday! So not only it is “merry christmas” its “happy birthday” too!

These crafts will help to celebrate the religious part of Christmas.

What You Will Learn on This Page:

Christmas Star: Get some coloured popsicle sticks (or paint some plain ones) and re-create the Christmas star to help mark the birth place of our Lord.

Baby Jesus: Create you very own baby Jesus to place under the tree.

Hand Print Dove: Using your hands, a little paint and a piece of construction paper you can make a beautiful dove.

Christmas Star

The Christmas star helped to lead the way to baby Jesus. It is a very important aspect of Christmas and its tons of fun as Christmas crafts kids can do!

Craft Supplies:

  • 5 Popsicle Sticks
  • Glue
  • Glitter Paint

Step #1:

Paint all sides of each of your popsicle sticks with the glitter paint.

We used a gold paint, so it doesn’t stand out tons, but sparkles nicely on the tree.

Allow to dry.

Step #2:

Glue your sticks together, in the shape of a star.  Allow to dry.

Light the way to the Lord! Or just decorate your tree! Use string or fishing line to hang these up.
