Bible Paper Toys :: Free Printable Paper Nativity Set

by | Dec 7, 2010 | Advent and Christmas, Crafts | 7 comments

I have a dear cousin who moved to Italy many years ago and I no longer get to see very often.  Thanks to Facebook, we are now able to stay in touch once again!   Today she sent me a link to a great little craft that she thought I would like.  I hadn’t seen this website before, so I thought I would share it with you all as well!

French illustrator and paper engineer, Didier Martin, has created 5 booklets with different figures and parts to create a paper model of the story of the birth of Jesus—the first Christmas.  Each booklet contains the different figures as seen on the various covers, in addition to instruction pages with photos to guide you in the making of the model.  He has graciously shared these booklets at no charge, though donations are accepted.

Here are the links to his various posts on this activity:

You can download the complete set of books/pages here.

I just finished downloading the set and have a certain 8 year old boy who can’t wait to get started!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
