Bible Crafts for Kids: Creation Story

Easy Kids Crafts, Kids Bible Crafts: Creation Story

Easy kids crafts help young children to remember the Bible stories and their lessons. Children tend to be very "hands on" and visual, which is why many of us remember kids Bible crafts from our very young years. This "Creation Story" craft illustrates the seven days of Creation, from the first day of light to the seventh day when God rested and viewed with pleasure all that He had made.

Supplies:

Paper maché Globe one per child. This will later be decorated as the Earth (see directions below). It should be around the size of a basketball or larger to make it easier for young, fine motor skills. Children can make these ahead of time with your assistance. One side can be sky blue and the other a dark blue or black for night. Some children may want to make the color gradually get lighter, as if from night, to dawn to daylight.

Decorative items may include:

Paint, such as tempura, poster paint, finger paints or acrylic. While acrylic is great for paper maché it won't wash out of clothes)
Markers (large for coloring and regular size and fine tipped for details).
Stickers
Pictures cut out from magazines (and glue)
Photo of child

Directions for this easy kids craft:

This Creation Story craft has seven parts to it. Each step depicts one of the seven days of God's creation.

Day 1: God said, "Let there be Light," and there was light. God called the light "day," and the darkness, "night."

Have children get out their dried, paper maché globes. Help them assemble their other decorative materials.

Day 2: God created the sky.

The sky will be in place thanks to the paper maché, but the children can add puffy white clouds to the daytime side, using cotton balls or white paint.

Day 3: God separated the land from the waters and planted it with trees, grasses and flowers.

The blue paper maché background may also serve as water (day and night), and the children can create the land and plants with their paints, markers and/or stickers.

Day 4: God made the sun, moon and stars.

Again, using paints, markers and/ or stickers children can depict God's creation on their globes. Younger ones may need reminding to add the moon and stars to the nighttime side. Allow children to be creative. Some will want to add smiles to sun, moon and stars, while others will want to go for realism.

Day 5: God created the birds and the fish.

Children will have fun adding birds and fish, so remind them to leave room for more to come! Fine tip markers and small paintbrushes will help save room while allowing kids to get as detailed as they want. Younger children may prefer using stickers, but remind them their drawings are great.

Day 6: On the sixth day, God created the rest of the animals and made the first people, just like God made you.

Children can add other animals now to the land and to the water. Finally, have them get out their photographs and glue them to their globes

Day 7: God rested, looked at everything he made, and said it was good.

Using hooks and strings hang the globes from the ceiling; low enough children can walk around each one to view their creative expressions of

God's good work.

This craft may inspire you to create some easy kids crafts and kids Bible crafts of your own, perhaps a separate one for each day of God's creation! Easy kids crafts are a very good way of theaching small kids all the best loved bible stories.
