More about the book: “Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. The moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic.”

How to Draw the Nativity Scene
During Christmas, many images are iconic, including Santa Claus, snowflakes and snowmen. However, no scene captures the meaning and origin of Christmas like the Nativity scene. Drawing the Nativity scene can be a great gift for someone in itself, or you can use it for custom Christmas cards, invitations or church bulletins. Capture the meaning and feeling of Christmas by learning to draw the Nativity scene, where it all began.

Things You’ll Need:
- Colored Pencils (Optional)
- Paper
- Pencil
Decide who you want to include in the Nativity in addition to Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus–possibly shepherds, the three wise men and some animals.
Draw general shapes for each character for placement.
Fill in shapes for the faces and larger details, such as arms and parts of the clothing.
Draw a manger–a narrow box with two wooden planks at the end, usually in an X formation. If you have difficulty with that, merely draw the general shape of a square and have the straw overflow.
Fill in further details from the general shapes for faces and hands. Erase some of the unneeded lines.
Fill in definitive details, such as patterns on fabric, straw details and eyelashes.
Add shadow and light to make the Nativity scene feel like it is at night and give it more drama. Think of the baby Jesus being a very bright candle and the light from him is lighting his parents in an otherwise dark night.
Color the Nativity scene using colored pencils or leave it as a graphite drawing.
Tip
Take as long per step as you need. Add more elements, such as a star or candles or even holiday elements that may not be historically accurate, like a Christmas tree.

Charcoal Nativity Christmas Art Project for Kids
In the book, Mr. Toomey sketches his plans for the carvings in charcoal, and we’ll do the same in this activity.
Supplies:
- Paper (paper bags can also be cut apart and utilized)
- Charcoal (the instructor had the children use willow charcoal)
First, set out a model drawing or painting of the nativity scene for the kids. Have them make some observations about the drawing. Who is in the drawing? Who will they include in their drawing? What is in the background? Will they add a background or not? What shapes do they see? Will they only use charcoal? Will they use other mediums in the drawing (pastels, pencils, etc.)?
Next, have the children make a preliminary sketch to practice. If your child has never used charcoal, it can take a little practice to manipulate the art medium.
Finally, ask your child to draw the nativity scene in front of them. Give them plenty of paper to explore and lots of room to create!
