              Baby Jesus Bulletin Board Ideas    
      Best Christmas 
      Gift Ever 
      "Wrap" your 
      entire bulletin board with Christmas wrapping paper 
 (use a plain design so it won't detract from your message). Place 
 ribbon diagonally across the upper left and bottom right corners. 
 I also placed a very large bow on the upper left corner. I enlarged 
 a picture of the Mary and Joseph with Baby Jesus and placed this 
 directly in the center of the board. In a circle shape around the 
 Holy family I placed the words "The Best Christmas Gift of All" 
            
          
              
      Happy Birthday 
      Jesus 
      I work for a 
      Christian preschool so at Christmas I tried to put the focus Jesus 
 being born instead of Santa.  One way I did this was to make a very 
      special 
 bulletin board. I used a blue background, made a 3D manger, and drew a 
 silhouette of a baby laying in it. I put a piece of cloth over the baby's 
      body 
 so that only the face and one hand was seen. Then I put a big star in the 
 corner of the board and put "Happy Birthday Jesus" above the manger. 
 Then I had the children decorate a gift for Jesus using a square piece 
 of construction paper, stickers, markers, stamps and whatever else they 
 wanted to use. To finish off the presents they chose a bow to put on it 
      and 
 a name tag to identify their gift. The children really got into giving a 
      gift to Baby 
 Jesus. This was a hit with the parents and all who passed by the room as 
      well.

            A Bed For 
            Jesus 
            
                      This is 
                      a manger that we are filling with hay. The hay is paper 
                      strips that the 
 parents are filling out at home. They tell of good deeds the children are 
                      doing! 
 We are creating a soft bed for Baby Jesus.
    
              
       Angels Singing  
      When Jesus 
      was born, the angels appeared singing and praising the new 
 born Savior. With this bulletin board, the joy of Jesus will be known 
 throughout the classroom. The angels are three dimensional.  
       
      Materials Needed:  
      Background of royal blue construction paper 
      Boarder of thick gold ribbon 
      Yellow construction or gold foil paper for large letters  
      White construction or silver foil paper for smaller letters 
      Black construction paper for musical notes 
      Cotton, batting material or fabric for cloud  
       
      For Angels: 
      White construction paper, rolled to form a cone shape about 6" 
      tall 
      White construction paper for wings 
      Light brown or yellow construction paper (2" circle) for head 
      yellow pipe cleaners for halos  
          
              
      A Savior Is 
      Born For... 
      For 
      Christmas at our church I had 3 gold paper horns coming out of the side 
 of the bulletin board. The top one was the longest, middle shorter and 
 bottom shortest. I stapled a piece of red cloth (like a banner hanging 
      from 
 each horn) on each. On the top horn I put the letters, "A Savior"; on the 
 middle one I put, "is born" on the bottom one I put "for . . .". I cut out 
      large 
 star shapes ahead of time and wrote their names on using glitter fabric 
 paints. After they dried I gave them to the kids to decorate with markers, 
 glitter, sequins, etc. Then we attached them to the bulletin board so now 
      it read: 
 A Savior is born for . . .  
      (and all the stars surrounded the trumpets with the kids' names on them.)
