10 Craft Ideas to do With Holy Family Coloring Pages
Once those finished Holy Family coloring pages pile up, put them to use with these easy, affordable crafts that bring the story to life!
1. Stable Scene Diorama
Cut out your colored Holy Family, along with any animals or stable elements from your pages. Glue them inside a shoebox or small cardboard box decorated with construction paper and straw (yarn or shredded paper) to create a cozy stable scene.
2. Star of Bethlehem Mobile
Cut out your Holy Family and smaller stars from gold or yellow construction paper. Punch holes, then string them from a larger cardboard star frame using yarn or fishing line, creating a beautiful hanging mobile to guide the way.
3. Journey to Bethlehem Pop-Up Card
Fold a piece of construction paper in half for your card base. Cut out your Holy Family and create simple pop-up tabs inside the card to make them stand up when opened, depicting their journey to the stable.
4. Holy Family Lantern
Carefully cut out your Holy Family image. Glue the cutout onto the outside of a clean glass jar or a simple paper bag luminaria, then add tissue paper cutouts or glitter around it for a glowing “guiding light” effect. Place an LED tealight inside.
5. Blessed Family Finger Puppets
Cut out each figure of the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary, Joseph) from your coloring pages. Glue a craft stick to the back of each, or create simple paper rings on the back for little fingers to wear, bringing the story to life for imaginative play.
6. Guiding Star Wall Plaque
Glue your finished Holy Family coloring page onto a sturdy piece of poster board or thin cardboard. Decorate around it with glitter, cotton ball “clouds,” and a prominent paper star at the top, symbolizing the guiding star watching over them.
7. Holy Family Story Cube
Find or make a simple cube from cardboard. Cut out different elements of the Holy Family (e.g., Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, stable, star, angels) and glue one to each side of the cube, creating a fun interactive storytelling game for the Nativity.
8. Stable Window Suncatcher
Carefully cut out your colored Holy Family. Place the cutout between two sheets of clear contact paper or laminate it. Trim the edges, punch a hole at the top, and hang it in a window to let the light shine through your beautiful stable scene.
9. Holy Family Bookmark
Cut out a portrait-style image of the Holy Family from your coloring page. Glue it onto a sturdy strip of cardstock, then decorate the bookmark with ribbon, glitter, or a favorite Bible verse to mark your place in a book of scripture.
10. Nativity Keepsake Box
Find a small box (like a jewelry box or a decorated shoebox). Glue your Holy Family cutout onto the lid or inside the box. Decorate the rest of the box with paints, glitter, and fabric scraps to create a special container for little treasures or prayer requests.
