Nativity Scene Sticker Mat | Fun Hands-On Christmas Story Activity for Kids

Bring the Christmas story to life with this adorable Nativity Scene Sticker Mat. Perfect for preschool, kindergarten, Sunday school, homeschool lessons, or December literacy centers, this hands-on activity helps kids retell the Nativity story in a simple and meaningful way.

Children place the characters on the scene one by one — angels, shepherds, the Wise Men, and more — while practicing sequencing, story recall, vocabulary, and fine motor skills. Teachers love using it during morning tubs, Bible lessons, Christmas craft week, or as a quiet activity during holiday services.

This mat comes with a story text bubble, two mat versions, and matching character pieces you can print as stickers or prep with Velcro for repeated use. It’s easy, engaging, and perfect for December centers.
