chunky nativity blocks for kids: a tutorial (#tbt)

November is going to be so fabulous here at LifeTales Books! On Tuesdays you'll find impressive gift ideas, and Thursdays will be #tbt (throw-back Thursday) posts showing DIY Christmas decor.

Although this is technically a DIY project, if you're not feeling so DIY-ish, these can also be purchased at my Heritage Makers Shop if you'd like to order them already made. 

So welcome to the first post of November:  #tbt Chunky Nativity Blocks for Kids!!


These come out to around $6-ish (not including the shipping cost of the scrap page/s).
And they make a sweet, practical, inexpensive gift, too!

This tutorial walks you through this project step-by-step, from ordering the scrap page with all that darling digital art (which you'll cut to go on the fronts of the blocks) to block measurements, adhesive, etc.  Here's the tutorial--enjoy!  http://lifetalesbooks.blogspot.com/2013/09/chunky-nativity-craft-blocks-for-kids.html

  3. These would have been so much better for us when my kids were little. I always let them play with all our nativity scenes (all plastic - Fisher Price, Playmobile, etc.), and they lost many of the pieces.

    1. I hadn't ever thought of that, Christa, but that's true! These are big enough they won't get lost. :)
