On their day off from school, my two little preschoolers decided they wanted to "make a craft." So, I promised to take them to the local craft store to get some supplies. However, the cold, blustery, snowy day made me want to forgo the trip. So, we just used some stuff from around the house and came up with this cute little guy:
a little sock baby Jesus
For this little craft, you will need:- a pink sock for the body
- a brown sock for the manger
- some little rubber bands
- a marker
- some yellow felt, foam, string or material for the hay
- a little piece of fabric for a blanket (a.k.a. swaddling clothes)
- cotton balls for stuffing (we used left over, fake Halloween spiderweb stuff :)
- fabric glue
You simply stuff the pink sock with stuffing, place rubber bands around it for the head and body, draw on a face, and cover in a blanket. Then you roll down the brown sock and glue on the yellow strips of fabric or string and place the baby inside.
We placed ours in our nativity scene. Karson and Brady wanted our sock Jesus(s) to be with their family and other visitors. I hope these wise men brought enough gifts for triplets!!
I hope you are getting excited about celebrating Jesus's birthday!! I know we are!!I think it is AMAZING that from the very beginning.......God had a plan to send us a Savior!!
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." Genesis 3:15
I'm so thankful that the baby, whose birthday we are celebrating, grew up and CRUSHED sin once and for all!!
