Supplies

• Playtime Paper Doll Body
• Playtime Paper Doll Hair
• White paper or white card stock
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Colored construction paper optional
• Crayons, markers or colored pencils optional

Instructions

Select your favorite Playmate Paper Doll Body and Hair and print them on white card stock or white paper. Card stock works best because it is sturdier, but regular paper will work just fine.

Print the clothing pieces on colored construction paper or on white paper and let the kids color them in. Encourage children to decorate the robes with patterns, jewels, or glitter glue to make their Magi look royal.

Carefully cut out the clothing and accessories. Glue the pieces onto the paper doll body.

Once finished, use the Magi to complete your nativity scene. You can even add an angel or a paper star above your display.

Fun Facts

The word Magi comes from a Greek term that refers to wise men or scholars. Many historians believe the Magi were astrologers who studied the stars. They followed a special star that led them to Bethlehem.

Traditionally, we think of three Wise Men because they brought three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Teacher Friendly Educational Extension

Use this craft as part of a Christmas lesson. After assembling the Magi, read the story of the Wise Men visiting baby Jesus. Ask students why they think the Magi brought those specific gifts.

You can also extend the activity by having children write a short sentence about what gift they would bring and why. Display the finished Magi dolls on a classroom bulletin board along with their writing for a festive holiday showcase.
