Creation Days 4 and 5

Last week I taught Hailey about days 4 and 5 of creation.  Here are the pictures we made to add to our Creation Story Wall.

Here’s what you’ll need: paper, glue, moon, stars, sun, yellow crayon, paper that says “Day 4” and paper that says, “God created the sun, moon and stars.”

Hailey glued on the sun and moon.  The stars were stickers that she placed on.  When she was done I helped her draw the beams coming out of the sun with a yellow crayon.

Finished Day 4- God created the sun, moon and stars.

And day 5-

You’ll need: paper, glue, cotton, blue tissue paper, pictures of fish, paint, paper that says “day 5” and paper that says “God created fish and birds.”

Glue the cotton on for clouds and the tissue paper on for water.  Then add some fish to the water.

Use your child’s finger print to make birds.  I showed Hailey how to do a few of them and then she took over.

Finished Day 5- God created fish and birds.

Story of Creation- Day 3

This week we continued learning about the 7 days of creation.  Hailey is still working on her memory verse- “God created all things.  John 1:3”  She can say it with prompting and it is incredibly cute.

We made a nature collage, emphasizing that God made all of these things.

Here’s what you’ll need: Go for a walk (or right to your back yard) and collect various pieces of nature.  We have some flowers, leaves, grass, sticks, etc.  And you’ll also need some clear contact paper.

Stick your pieces of nature to the contact paper.

Add a piece of contact paper to the other side to seal your project.  Hang it up on the refrigerator.

Then we made our Day 3 picture to add to the first two days we already made.

Here’s what you’ll need: card-stock, sandpaper for land, tree shape, green for leaves on tree, green for grass, flower stickers, glue, piece of paper that says “Day 3” and paper that says “God created the land with grass, trees and flowers.”

Put everything together.

The finished picture for day 3.

The Story of Creation

Our theme for our Bible story this month is the story of creation.  We have read the story and Hailey is working on this memory verse: God created all things.  John 1:3.

We are also creating a picture for each day in the 7 days of creation.  Here are the two days we did this week:

For Day 1- I gave Hailey half of a sheet of white construction paper and half of a sheet of black construction paper.  She glued those onto a piece of card-stock to represent day and night.

The finished picture- God created day and night.  (I also added a little piece of paper later that said Day 1.)

And here is day 2:

Here’s what you’ll need: card-stock, blue tissue paper, cotton balls, glue, paper that says “Day 2,” and paper that says “God created sky and water.”

Glue the tissue paper on to the bottom to represent water and cotton balls on the top to represent clouds.

The finished picture- God created sky and water.
