How do you put the nativity scene dolls together?

These free nativity printables are easy crafts to assemble! First of all, print out the nativity scene figures with your home printer! Each figure is on one piece of paper.

You can use ordinary paper (US letter size), or use a heavy paper (card stock) if you want it sturdier and kept in good condition. Try laminating to make this craft last even longer. Laminating your paper dolls keeps them in excellent condition for future play!

A tip to keep in mind: The solid lines are the fold lines. The dotted lines are the lines you cut with scissors.

1. If you’re using the black & white version, color your nativity scene with your favorite colors. Looking for some color recommendations? Check out the colors I used for the color version of the nativity scene cutouts.

2. Use scissors to cut along the dotted lines. You should have 2 pieces (the nativity scene figure and the base).

3. Fold along the 2 solid lines.

4. Cut the dotted lines in the center of the character

5. Cut the dotted lines in the center of the base.

5. Connect the 2 pieces at the bottom (at the middle slits), in the center.

6. Make a + shape with the base.

That’s it! No glue, glue stick or paste needed! Just color, cut and fold! Make your free nativity scene paper dolls today! Children of all ages will love this Christmas nativity printable!
