Teacher Tips
  • The main "Gifts" prompt is enough — extra prompts are optional
  • Play quiet background music during drawing time
  • Walk around and ask kids to tell you about their drawing
  • No right or wrong — stick figures are great
"They opened their treasures and offered him gifts." — Matthew 2:11
