Since my kiddos had so much fun with our Thanksgiving Pattern Block Mats, I decided to make them some Nativity Pattern Block Mats to celebrate Christmas {download link found at the end of this post.}

I love the commercial side of Christmas just as much as anyone else. The lights. The songs. The smells and sounds. But I do not ever want that part to overshadow the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place…the Christ Child’s birth. That’s one reason I created our Nativity Pre-K/K Pack two years ago.
Nativity Pattern Block Mats
This year, the kids helped me design some Nativity Pattern Block Mats, created to fit with these pattern blocks. Today, I’m sharing them for free. In this pack, are 6 mats that correspond with the Nativity story, found in Luke 2 and Matthew 1-2.
- angel mat
- Jesus in the manger mat
- shepherd mat
- star mat
- camel mat
- wiseman man
Here is the example of the baby Jesus mat:
And just like we did with our Thanksgiving Mats, we extended the learning by using our Giant Magnetic Pattern Blocks
and we graphed and tallied with our Graph & Tally Pack.
More Christmas Resources:
- Nativity Pre-K/K Pack {I’ve also included a book list for the Nativity story.}
- Advent Cards & Advent Writing
- Christian Nursery Rhymes {2 rhymes in particular correspond with the nativity story}
- Christmas Tree Cut it Out! Pack
