Let’s have fun drawing a picture of Baby Jesus! This is a great way to celebrate Christmas and enjoy a creative project.
Christmas is a special time because it celebrates the birth of Jesus. Even if we all have different beliefs, the most important thing is to have fun and share love with everyone.
Before we start, let’s gather our materials. You will need a marker and some paper. Once you have everything ready, let’s start drawing!
Eyes: Draw two small circles in the middle of your paper for Baby Jesus’s eyes. Add tiny circles inside and leave them white to make them shiny.
Nose: Draw a small “U” shape between the eyes for the nose.
Head: Make a big oval shape around the eyes and nose to form the head.
Ears: Add a “C” shape on one side and a backward “C” on the other for the ears.
Body Shape: Draw a large oval starting from the left side of the nose, wrapping around to create the body. This will show Baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Swaddling Clothes: Use curved lines to show the folds of the swaddling clothes around his body.
Hay: Draw a zigzag line around Baby Jesus to represent hay. Make some zigzags big and others small for a natural look.
Manger Structure:
Adding Details: You can add extra details like legs to the manger if you want, but keep it simple.
Halo: Draw a rainbow line over Baby Jesus’s head to create a halo, showing his specialness.
Sunshine: Add zigzag lines around the halo to represent rays of sunshine.
Now that you have completed your drawing, it’s time to add some color! Take your time and use the colors you like best.
Great job on drawing Baby Jesus! Remember, it’s okay if your artwork looks different from others. The most important thing is to have fun and be creative.
We hope you enjoyed drawing with us. Share your finished artwork with friends and family! Happy holidays!
Observation Walk: Take a short walk around your home or neighborhood with a grown-up. Look for things that remind you of the Christmas story, like stars, animals, or decorations. Draw or describe what you see and how it makes you feel. This will help you connect the drawing of Baby Jesus to the world around you.
Story Time: With a family member or friend, read a story about the birth of Jesus or another holiday story. After reading, discuss what you learned and how it relates to your drawing. You can also draw a new picture inspired by the story you read.
Creative Craft: Use materials like colored paper, cotton balls, or fabric scraps to create a 3D version of your Baby Jesus drawing. Think about how you can use different textures to represent the swaddling clothes, hay, and manger. Share your creation with your family and explain the choices you made.
