We have so many ways to celebrate and prepare for the coming of Jesus. We have a nativity set with lots of pieces. As a group we have read the Christmas story in several books, and the children are able to re enact the story with the Little People. We even have a little song we sing called "A Stable Warm and Dry".
We read a story called "Jesus, Me and My Christmas Tree". It is a vibrant book in the shape of a tree that explains why we put certain decorations on our trees. This story is represented with one of the amazing story bags from the book fair, so we got to act out the story. Each child had a component of the tree and added it as the story progressed.
In our office center, there have been quite a few children making their own Christmas cards. We have cards from Christmases past donated to the school and the Bunnies "enhance" them with a personal touch by using stickers, stamps, markers, or whatever the decide they need.
If you have old Christmas cards at home, consider letting your children have them along with some scissors and other simple materials. They will transform those old cards into something completely different in the blink of an eye!!
