First, make the craft stick manger. Heat the hot glue gun and glue 2 craft stick pieces in the shape of an "X'. You will need to make two of the "X" shapes.
Put hot glue on the top and outside of the craft stick "X" and held the glue sticks horizontally in place until they stuck.
Glue the 2nd "X" shape to the other side of your manger.
Cut off the bottom legs on the "X" about halfway up so that the manger sits lower and flat.
Wrap each wooden stick person with felt, a different color for each one.
For Mary, add the yellow headpiece on top of the peg person's head. Put hot glue on the top of her head and also halfway down the sides of her body to keep it in place. Fold the back of the felt around her body and hot glue the pieces together so that they are nicely in place in the back.
Finally, assemble the Nativity sensory bin. Place the brown crinkle paper on the bottom of the wood tray to represent straw. Put some crinkle paper in the manger and put Baby Jesus on top of the manger.
Place Mary and Joseph, the angel, and farm animals scattered around the wooden tray.
