Christmas Crafts: Joy to the World Cards

Each Thursday from now until December 24, there will be a new Faith-Based Christmas Craft you can make with your family.

Here's the fourth:

Looking for simple Christmas crafts that keep the focus on Jesus? Some of the most meaningful moments of the season happen in small, ordinary activities at home.

Here are 10 easy, low-prep crafts your family can make together this Christmas, each one paired with a Bible verse to help keep the true meaning of the season front and center. They work for a range of ages, so siblings can craft side by side, and most use simple supplies you probably already have at home.

4. Joy to the World Cards

Verse: Luke 2:10

Make cards your kids can give to grandparents, neighbors, or friends, spreading a little extra joy this Christmas.
