Help children discover the true meaning of the incarnation of Jesus into human form with The Word Became Flesh Nativity Craft inspired by John 1:1 and John 1:14. This meaningful activity teaches kids that Jesus is more than a baby in a manger—He is the eternal Word of God who came to earth to live among us. John 1:1 reminds us that Jesus was with God and is God, and John 1:14 reveals the incredible truth that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
This craft uses Scripture from the ESV translation (with wording that is also similar to the NIV and KJV versions), making it easy for most classrooms and churches to integrate with their chosen Bible version. This unique foldable craft begins with a scroll showing the words of Scripture. When kids open the scroll, it splits apart to reveal Baby Jesus in the manger, beautifully illustrating the incarnation in a way children can see and remember.
