Bible Story Reference: Luke 2:1-7
Teachable Moments: Jesus was born not in a palace, but among animals. He was placed in a manger for a bed. Read the Christmas story with your preschooler from a children’s Bible. Use the figures of your Nativity scene (or any small dolls) to act out the Christmas story with your child. The dolls can go from place to place trying to find somewhere to sleep only to be told there is no room. Have the dolls arrive at a group of animals and find a place to rest. Finally, sing “Away in a Manger” with your preschooler and lay the baby Jesus to sleep with the animals.
