One of the ladies in my mom’s group at church shared this wonderful activity that she did with her children when they were little. She would set up her nativity scene minus the shepherds. The shepherds would start their journey to the stable far away from the nativity scene somewhere else in the house. Each day the shepherds would appear in a new location in her home closer to the nativity scene. They would move closer and closer until they appeared in the nativity on Christmas Eve.
This activity could be started at any point leading up to Christmas. It won’t be to late start it this week. I am going to try it with JDaniel. It will be fun to search the house and look for the shepherds.

That’s a fantastic idea. The only nativity that I have is one that is all glued together, but this would be a good idea to go get a piece by piece one. Over from SITS. Be blessed.
That’s a really cute idea. I think my shepherds are glued down too…lol!
That’s a cute idea! Mine are all stuck to the manger. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy SITS Tuesday!
Very nice idea. Happy Holidays.
Happy SITS Tuesday and thanks for stopping by and i am sure JDaniel will love searching for the shepherds!
What a cute idea! We have a nativity at our house, but with my daughter’s grabby toddler hands, I’ve kept it safe and tucked away this year!
