Three Kings, a craft for Epiphany

Three Kings Epiphany craft for kids

We took our tree and Christmas decorations down yesterday. It took hours but I’m quite pleased our house has now returned to normal. My son is very sad though as he adored turning off the big light “to see how pretty the tree looks”. He really ‘got’ Christmas this year and enjoyed every minute.

Three Kings craft to celebrate Epiphany

To cheer him up I thought we would make one last Christmas craft. January 6th is celebrated as the Epiphany, or the day the three Wise Men (or Kings) visited the infant Jesus. Our Three Kings or Epiphany craft, is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the three Kings Day.

We had lots of sparkly bits left around after tidying away our Christmas decorations so it was easy to make our own three Kings.

We used little wooden spoons as a base and added crowns, beards and leftover stickers and pieces of tinsel and ribbon for their clothes.

They came together quite quickly, the toddler enjoyed glueing most of all, and we’re pretty pleased with the finished results.

What do you think of our three Kings Day craft? Why not try baking our Twelfth Night gingerbread biscuits.

    It’s my little boy’s birthday on Jan 6th so I should have a go at this craft with him. I’ve a box of all sorts from the Christmas packaging, always worth keeping for crafting.

    How lovely. My toddler keeps asking where Christmas has
    gone! I wish I’d thought to do something like this to make the
    transition easier for her.

    A very simple but brilliant idea. It is sad when you have to take your tree down 🙁

    It can look so bare when the decs come down. Looks like you had tonnes of fun making the three kings though! Going to remember that craft for next Xmas – would make a cracking nativity addition 🙂

    Those are very cute, simple yet effective craft I think. I
    was also pleased to take the Christmas stuff down as it was
    starting to take over.
