POSTER ACTIVITY – Baby Jesus Poster

1. Print the poster in color to show children, and print in black-and-white for each child to color.

2. Talk about the poster, saying, “I’m thankful for Jesus’s birth.”

• Tell the story of the birth of Jesus. Tell children that Jesus Christ is the Son of Heavenly Father.

• Talk about the birth of baby Jesus, telling of the shepherds who followed the special star that shown brightly that night, leading them to the baby Jesus. They found Him in a manger with Mary and Joseph. The wise men also came and brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
See Stars on Handout: Read, “What gifts can I give Him?” We can learn to do many things. We can serve others, we can learn to help at home, be kind, share, and care. Read, “How can I show my love?” We can be kind to others, and this way we are being kind to Jesus. He was born on the earth so that He could grow up and teach us how to be happy and love others.

3. Talk about the Home Activity: “Tell me about the special night that Jesus was born and what gifts I can give to Him.”
