By Him All Things Were Created

Materials
Construction paper (assorted colours). Stickers of animals, plants and stars. Glue.

Activity
Use one sheet of construction paper for each of the seven days of creation and add one extra sheet with a cross, 8 sheets in all.
Day 1. On the first page, paste a large black circle with a semicircle of yellow covering half of it. Over this, we paste a large number 1. This represents the first day of creation. God created light.
Day 2. For the next page, place a second circle of dark blue and a semi-circle of light blue over it, dividing it into a top and bottom half. Then paste a large number 2. God divided the waters.
Day 3. The third day was dry land, and then vegetation. So divide another circle into blue and brown. On the brown half, stick stickers of grass, flowers, trees, vegetables, etc. Then a large number 3.
Day 4. Day four was the planets and stars, so use a solid black circle with a yellow number four. Place stickers of stars, suns, moon, comets, etc. all around the circle.
Day 5. For day five use a dark blue bottom half and a light blue top half of a circle, the number 5 and stickers of birds and fish in the appropriate places.
Day 6. For day six, we use a whole green circle and glue on stickers of all the different kinds of animals. Then add stickers of people or children to the circle and the number 6.
Day 7. For day seven, use one circle of a glittery, rainbow-colored paper and a large number 7. And then write "on the 7th day, God rested".
Final Page For the eighth peice of paper, add a cross representing Christ, add a construction paper cover and simply write on the front "In the beginning...". Use this to explain Creation

Application
Scripture tells us that Jesus was present and involved in creation itself. But Jesus not only created us but redeems us. Colossians 1:15-20

Use this booklet to illustrate the days of creation and remind them that Christ was involved in Creation
