Hello Nikki,

I’m so happy to hear that you are making this nativity craft with your Sunday school kids and that they helped you pick it out. I’m delighted you all like it–you are very welcome!

My daughter and I have made several popsicle stick nativity stables over the years, and they always turn out lovely. You will notice that they are a lot quicker and easier to make once you have made one. I like the idea of making the back wall with the popsicle sticks closer together–we may give that a try, too! Thanks for the great suggestion. 🙂

Hi Noah, I’m sorry that you are having trouble. The roof needs to be held in position while it is glued. It will not sit and stay until you glue it together. Its a bit challenging to figure out how to lean it just right, but I have confidence that you can do it.

Thank you, Elizbeth!

My daughter and I had a lot of fun putting it together. The peg dolls that we used are in “Holy Family Nativity Scene” which you can find if you click the link. I will update this post to include them as well. Thanks again!

I was wondering if you could explain a little bit more about how you got the roof on. Mine isn’t coming on at all.

I’m so glad you like it and that it gives you inspiration, Helen! There are a lot of steps, but it is quite simple to make. 🙂

I’m so sorry I missed your comment Diane! My family was on vacation for the holidays. I hope you were able to make it. For future reference, I don’t think it matters which mini, standard, and jumbo craft sticks you use. The roof may have a bit more or less pitch, and it might be a slightly different size when finished, but it should work just fine.
