I saw these cute nativity blocks for children on pinterest. I knew I had the images from a purchase long ago on pccrafter.com (which no longer exists). Me & My Big Ideas sold the stickers but I can’t find either digital or stickers anywhere online. I hope it’s appropriate to share these edited & framed images with ya’ll since they aren’t available anymore. These are the blocks I made.
The fun part is that you can make it as little or big as you want. You could do just Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus… leave out the wisemen & angels… no animals, etc. Lots of options.
This was a fun project for this holiday season. I kinda wish I would have used 1×4′s… but I used a 2×4 for the longer Scenes… and a 2×3 for the little blocks. You can also use a 2×4 for the little blocks as they will fit well. I’m no modge-podge or staining expert, but it seemed to work out alright. And I’m pleased to announce that I didn’t even cut off any fingers when I used the saw to cut the boards. That is always a good thing, especially when it’s your first time.

This would make a great Super Saturday project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing these. I saw these on the internet last year and have searched and searched to find them. I did find out they they had been discontinued so I just tossed the idea of making them to the wind……………until today. Wahoo!
Amazing as usual. I so need these.
Adorable! Love them Heather. I looked at the link you posted and in the comments someone posted the link to Hobby Lobby where you can still buy the stickers, in case anyone is interested.

These are great and just in time for the 12 days of Christmas on our neighbors. Did you stain or modge-podge first?
Thank you so much.
