I've been looking around for something to make that involves the Nativity scene. I've looked online, and I'm going to check a Christian store today. I also checked Michael's a week or so ago, but all they had for Christmas stuff was the secular crud like snowmen and reindeer stuff. Anybody have any ideas? It would help much for my church school class. Thanks!

That Printable Nativity was pretty much what I was looking for!Not sure what age range you're looking for but....
Free Printable Nativity for Christmas This would enable the children to build their own Nativity scene & bring it home as well.
Or, depending again on age range, you could get copies of a black and white icon of the Nativity for the children to color in. I remember helping out a church school class to do this actually. I know the book can be bought somewhere but I can't remember where. Tried looking for it and stumbled across it here: Orthodox Christian Icon Coloring Book
Ooooh, you all are treasures!!! You've given me so many good ideas! I can't wait to delve into them. I'm planning to make this most of the month, so the candles thing and other stuff can work. I'll have to look into all of this!! Thanks sooooo much!
Oh, and I teach the 5-year-olds thru the 8-year-olds.

One thing my son's Church school class did was make Icon ornaments. They took printed (non blessed obviously) Icon cards and cut out the key portion in a circle then glued it to the middle of a silver cup-cake liner and added a ribbon/pipe cleaner loop. Other things they did included putting an Icon in one of those pre-made ornaments that have a space for a picture (like a clear ball or snow globey thing) and the like. He made 3 or 4 and we gave them out to some of our non-Orthodox family members as gifts too.

Great idea! You've just helped me out on Christmas ornaments!How about printing icons from the net, cutting them out and putting them on those pre-made ornaments? Could that work?
