The Incarnation of Jesus Christ–that amazing historical moment when God the Son became fully God and fully man–is something our children need to understand.
The Christmas story or Nativity story (nativity just means birth story) is a special way to share with your children the amazing gift God gave us when Jesus became man, lived a holy and sinless life, took the punishment for our sins, died in our place–as long as we believe in Jesus, confess him with our mouth, and turn from our sin.
Amazing!
Take a few days with your kids and learn about the Christmas Nativity story with this fun, hands-on Bible study. You’ll be glad you did!

Nativity Story Bible Study for Kids
The Christmas Nativity Story Lapbook is a fun, hands-on study of the Bible for your child from the ages of 5-12.
You and your child will study several aspects of the Nativity story:
- God’s Great Plan for Jesus
- Nativity Bible Verses for Memorization
- The People and Events of the Nativity
- Definitions of Nativity and Incarnation
- Four Names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6-7
It’s important that our kids understand the events and significance of the Incarnation of Christ, when God the Son became fully God and fully man. The Christmas story is a wonderful story with an amazing cast of characters, but–more than that–it is an important historical and theological event that changed the course of history, and it is worth teaching about. We can praise God for his love for us, shown through the birth of Jesus.

How to Print and Use the Nativity Story Lapbook
To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.
You can watch a quick tutorial for the Christmas lapbook above.
The Christmas Nativity Story Lapbook will give your child hours of thoughtful Bible study, with visuals they’ll never forget.
