    These adorable "I Spy" Nativity Ornament Crafts will keep your little ones busy and focused on Christ this holiday season. 

    I Spy Nativity Ornament Craft this awesome idea!

    DIY Nativity Ornament

    I'm so excited to share this really fun idea with you today--Nativity Ornaments. I LOVE that it's both fun for kids, but also centers around Christ and the REAL reason for the season.

    First off you'll need a set of mini-nativity ornaments.  I got mine at a local craft store for under $3, but in case your craft stores don't carry them you can find them online here.  They are the perfect size for this project.

    NATIVITY ORNAMENT SUPPLIES: 

      • Poly Pellets
      • 100mm shatterproof plastic ornaments
      • E6000 permanent glue
      • Pliers
      • Mini nativity figures like these 

    SHOP THE SUPPLIES: 

     

    HOW TO MAKE "I SPY" NATIVITY ORNAMENTS

    1. Carefully pull the ornament string out of each ornament with a pair of pliers.

    2. Drop each piece in the top of the ornament. (I used everything but the angel because her wings wouldn't fit through the opening)

    3. Fill the ornament about half way with Poly Pellets so it covers the nativity pieces but there's still room for everything to move around inside.

    4. Glue the top or the sides on to make it nice and safe for kids to shake and play with.

    5. Last, I laminated a tag to attach to it that shows everything you need to find inside your I Spy Ornament.  And it's your lucky day because I have the pdf for you to print your own as well!

      Lovely idea. Could you tell me the brand of ply pellets you used? They look a bit iridescent and not opaque. On my google search, so many brands came up and it is hard to tell if they are white opaque (like what is in bean bags) or translucent.
