10 (Non-Cheesy) Christian Christmas Gifts for Kids

1. Children’s Nativity Set

This Children’s Nativity Set is such a sweet, hands-on way for little ones to explore the Christmas story. The pieces are soft, sturdy, and perfectly sized for tiny hands so kids can play, imagine, and act out Jesus’s birth without you worrying about anything breaking. It’s colorful, durable, and inviting, making it a perfect first nativity for toddlers and preschoolers. Whether you’re reading the story together or your kids are creating their own little stable scenes, this set brings the true meaning of Christmas to life in a way they can truly understand and enjoy.

You can grab your Children’s Nativity Set here. 

2. The Giving Manger

 

The Giving Manger is a beautiful, faith-focused Christmas tradition that helps kids shift their excitement from getting to giving. Each set comes with a sweet picture book, a wooden manger, straw, and a Baby Jesus figure; everything you need to start the tradition as a family. Throughout December, your kids add a piece of straw to the manger for every act of kindness or helping hand they offer, slowly preparing a soft place for Jesus by Christmas morning. It’s simple, meaningful, and such a lovely way to nurture generosity and keep the heart of Christmas at the center of your home.

You can grab The Giving Manger on Amazon here.

4. Veggie Tales Movies

 

I’ve been a big fan of Veggie Tales for years – way before I even had kids of my own – but now that I see some of the other alternatives available in kids’ cartoons, I love and appreciate them that much more.

Veggie Tales are perfect for teaching kids Bible stories, important life lessons and morals/values — all while remaining fun and upbeat, not boring or preachy! They’re really funny, and good for little kids and adults alike.

7. Christian Christmas Children’s Books

 

Growing up, we had a tradition where we read the Christmas story from the Bible every year before opening presents. I loved it and looked forward to it every year.
