I love nativity scenes and believe its important to have at least one in your home at Christmas time.

This is why I think this is a wonderful thing to do with children.

I made one of these with my grandchildren and we had such an enjoyable day making these.

They actually did really good with painting them too!

I was rather pleased to see what they did!

My favorite nativity scenes are the simple ones like this one.

The more simple they are, the more fond I am of them!

I just tend to love things that look like children made them.

I never caught what kind of clay this gal in the tutorial used.

This is why Im making some suggestions on what to use.
