Creation Crafts for Day 2 of Creation

Creation Day 2 - Sky Bible Lesson for Children - Crafts and Activities

The following Bible Crafts and Bible Activities come from the lesson "God Creates the Sky" Creation Day 4 on The Resource Room. In this lesson, children learn that God created the sun, moon, and stars. The sun is the center of our solar system, and we could not survive without it. It provides light and heat and energy. Likewise, Jesus is the light of the world, and he should be in the center of our lives. When we look at the sun we should be reminded of the light of God that guides our spiritual lives.

Make Water and Cloud Pictures

(Preschool) Give each child a piece of Reynolds blue plastic wrap, a blue sheet of paper, and cotton balls, popped corn, or cloud shapes (See below). Have them glue the plastic wrap to the bottom of the page for water and the cotton balls or popcorn to the top of the page for clouds. Write the Bible on the picture when they are finished.

Decorate a Frame for a Bible Verse Picture

(Appropriate for children preschool through second grade.) Print out the Bible verse pictures and cut them out. Glue them to the center of a matching piece of colored paper.

Have your children glue cotton balls, popcorn, or cloud shapes around the edge of the picture to make a frame. Bring in all three items if you have them

and let them decide which they want to use. You can also have them sponge paint with white paint to make cloud shapes.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God Bible Craft

Children paint and add star stickers to jumbo craft sticks and glue a cloud picture with the Psalm 19:1 to the back of the craft stick frame.

Have your children color the picture to reveal what God called the expanse.

Just a note to tell you I've received a wealth of information from your site. I've taught Wed. night children's classes, Sunday School, VBS for years. My husband is a new pastor. We've been at our new church for about 3 months. We've just started a Wed. night class for the small children & your site is getting me excited again. May God richly bless you. Rhonda from Tennessee

Observe Clouds

Take your children outside to look at the sky and clouds. Ask them what they see in the sky. If there are clouds, ask them if the clouds look like anything familiar.

Play with Balloons

(Younger Children) Give your children balloons and take them outside. Tell them to see how long they can keep their balloons in the sky. Older children will enjoy playing with a partner. See which team of two children can keep their balloon in the air the longest.

Divide the Water From the Water Game

(Older children) Before class blow up at least five white balloon and five blue balloons. Divide your play area into three sections - clouds, sky and water in that order. Place all the balloons in the middle (sky) section. Divide your children up into teams of two - four players depending on the size of your room. Tell your children that the white balloons represent clouds and the blue balloons represent water. The object of the game is to divide the water from the water by blowing the white balloons into the cloud section above the sky and the blue balloons into the water section below the sky. They children are not aloud to touch the balloons with any part of their bodies. They can wave their hands to make wind or blow with their mouths. Time each team. The team that accomplishes the task in the shortest amount of time wins. Before each team starts ask the team how God created the sky - "he separated the water from the water".

(Preschool Children and Kindergarten Children) - Set up the playing area as described above but do not use teams. Just let the children try to blow the balloons in the right direction.

Balloon Bible Verse Review Game

Write the words to the Bible verse on the balloons, one word per balloon. Use only part of the verse for younger children. Use the same teams as above. Write the Bible verse on the board. Mix up the balloons on the floor and on the word go teams take turns finding the balloons with words and placing them in order to spell out the Bible verse. The team that does it the quickest wins. If you have younger children just have them find the words and hand them to you. You can place them in order as the children find them.

God Created the Sky Snack

Bring in Graham crackers, cream cheese icing that has been dyed blue, and mini marshmallows. Have your children ice their crackers with the blue cream cheese and add marshmallows to one side of the cracker for clouds and use a fork to draw wavy lines on the other side for water.

The complete lesson is available on The Resource Room

My name is Patty and I am the Director of Preschool Ministries at my church. Each level has different needs and abilities, so it is nice to use the same lesson and give one class just the coloring sheet, another class the story and coloring sheet, and the older ones the craft as well. The diversity of lessons helps me to find something for whatever topic we are covering. Thank you!

Hi. Each time I need a new idea for Sunday school, or a different craft, I come to your site. It is always so helpful and inspiring. This week we'll try the Joseph and his colorful coat lesson. Thanks so much again for all your ideas and expertise. It is GREATLY appreciated. Beth Laramee

The children have really loved the crafts that I have gotten from your web site and they are so so so much better then what they write in books. Thank you to you and your daughter for all the hard work you have done. This has been the best money I have sent. Thank You, Peggy

My name is Christie and I am a teacher at Bayside Covenant Church. I use your lesson plans and craft idea's weekly. I really enjoy watching the children in my classes grow with the craft/outreach ideas that you provide. Thank you for "pushing the envelope" when it comes to the activities.....many of the lessons provided by my leader are too young for the "advanced" children I teach, but yours are right on track. Keep up the great work! Blessings, Christie Pape

This web site is so wonderful. I'm amazed at all the wonderful things you share with me. You are worth more than your membership fee any day, the patterns for the crafts are priceless!!!!!!
