Kids remember lessons when they can see them. When they can hold something. When an object connects to a truth from Scripture. Christmas object lessons do exactly that. They take familiar holiday items and turn them into moments of learning and faith. These ideas are simple. They work in Sunday school, children’s church, family devotions, and classrooms.

Here are easy Christmas object lesson ideas that teach the heart of the Christmas story.

Christmas Object Lesson Ideas

1. The Christmas Light Lesson

Object: A small Christmas light
Point: Jesus is the light of the world

2. The Candy Cane Lesson

Object: Candy cane
Point: Jesus is our Shepherd
Verse: Luke 2:8–12
