Creation Book Days 2, 3, and 4

August 7, 2009 Ticia 2 Comments

While this couldn’t really be a Sunday School lesson, unless you have a very small Sunday School, it makes a great homeschool Bible lesson.  We started off our learning about the Creation Unit week with a bang! First, we learned about light and dark in day 1 and then painted about it.

We kept up with our crazy Creation book, so here goes.

Day 2 God created and separated the sky from the waters, so I followed the instructions in the “My Father’s World” curriculum to make the craft, and have suggestions for changing it if you do this.

(amazon links are affiliate): construction paper, School Glue (yes I buy it in bulk), card stock (to make it sturdier), Marker Tower

Creation story craft

Tear blue and green papers in half. Glue the blue on the top half and the green on the bottom. Then color blue all over the green paper. This didn’t turn out well.

Instead, I’d suggest a piece of blue paper and you color the bottom half with paint and crayons. Coloring with the crayons first and then using watercolors afterwards to do a crayon resist.

What did work for us: We added cotton balls at the top to represent the clouds that formed.

Day 3 of Creation storybook craft

So on Day 3 God made separated the waters from the land and made all of the plants and stuff. This takes a little prep ahead of time.

Day 3 Creation story prep

 A couple of days beforehand pick some leaves. Find a nice big phonebook and stick them in there between some paper towels.

On the day of gather cardstock, blue and green construction paper (use the other half of the sheet from Day 2), glue, markers, and a small cup or bucket of dirt.

Glue the blue paper on the bottom, and cover part of the blue with the green for the land.

If you’re Batman, you need all of your green paper and all scraps of your brother and sister. It took a lot of glue for that all to stick down.

Now take your papers, a bottle of glue and go outside for the dirt. Paint glue randomly on the green area.

 Then happily sprinkle as much dirt on your paper as you can.

blurry picture and all, but who can resist that face?

Show off what you’ve done so far.

Then, while they’re napping, you come in with the super breakable plants, why did I pick feverfew? It’d break into little bitty pieces if I let them do this part. Spread the glue all over and put the little pieces of plants on. Actually, I know why I picked it because I think it looks like a tree on the paper.

And because I just realized I never put up pictures for Day 4….

We used watercolors and star stickers for this day.

    This is pretty neat – I might try “plant growing” craft too. Even though we are not studying the Bible, some of the Bible-related crafts look too good to pass up 🙂
