Merry Christmas!  I just love the Holidays and this time of year.  I remember as a kid driving around the town with my parents to see the beautiful christmas decorations and lights.  What drew me in, even more than the lights and reindeer displays, were the various nativity scenes  sprinkled here and there.  My thoughts took me back to that night so long ago and I tried to imagine what it must have REALLY been like.

Sometimes it’s easy to get hung up in the hustle and bustle of gift giving, christmas cookies and holiday parties (all of which I love btw), that we miss the reason for the season JESUS WAS BORN!  This is such a great time of year to share the hope of the nativity story with our children.

I thought a Nativity Mini-Book would be a fun way to keep the curiosity of Jesus’ birth in front of us this season.   I wanted to make it FREE so that everyone that wanted to could enjoy it.  MERRY CHRISTMAS

This Nativity Mini-Book “A King is Born (The Story of Jesus’ Birth)”  would be perfect for a children’s bible school class, christian classrooms, home-schools and for your own kids at home.  Feel free to download and share this link so others can enjoy too.

I also have some nativity themed math and literacy centers available in my TpT Store.
