When I used to teach the preschool class at our homeschool co-op, one of the kids favorite things was to make their own mini books about whatever topic we were focusing on during that class period. It was with that in mind that I put together a Christmas mini book printable which, when cut apart, will make a six page mini book.
One of the challenges of this printable is that the pages of the mini book are out of order on the pages. So, not only is it great fine motor practice to cut out the pages, but it’s also an opportunity to put the story of in order from the Annunciation through Epiphany. Your child may or may not need help to get them in the correct order.
An alternate option to the mini book, if preferred, is to cut out the boxes and paste them down on a large piece of paper in the correct order.
In addition to the sequencing pages, there are also two pages of handwriting practice with the words Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and angel. Each features a graphic that matches the graphics used in the sequencing story.
Note: This printable set is free for personal use only. The printable pack may also be used in a classroom, religious education, or homeschool co-op setting. However, please make sure that the copyright line (with the web address) appears on the pages. This printable may not be used for commercial purposes.

Thanks for this. I think my preschooler would love this! And it’s great because I’m trying to remind all my kids each day the reason for the season! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for commenting, Janice! Yours is the very first comment on my new site. 🙂
I hope that you have fun doing this with your preschooler!
Boy oh boy, almost wish I taught K or 1 just to be able to use your stuff!! Darling! But I teach 4th….
Carol –
I’m not planning to include only printables for younger children on the site. I definitely plan on making some printables for older elementary (and maybe even older) as well. If you ever have some specific (or general) requests, please feel free to pass them along! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by.
Thank you for sharing your God-given talent! This is a wonderful idea! I really appreciate you sharing this with all of us!
What a beautiful thing to say, Kitty. Thank you so much!
Your site is darling but your share buttons don’t seem to be working (fb, Pinterest).
Thanks, Patricia. 🙂
On the sharing buttons, once you touch them/hover over them, the sharing option for each should pop up in what looks like a talking bubble (or at least that’s what it looks like on my computer). Is that not coming up for you?
