Last fall my Sunday school class learned about how God created the world. We covered one day of creation per Sunday. When we were finished we made a cover page and then put all of their craft pages into a book format.
The kids really enjoyed the simple lessons and easy crafts, and I enjoyed spreading out the lessons about creation instead of spending only a week or two covering all 7 days.
Today I want to share these 8 simple creation Sunday school craft ideas with you.
While these crafts were made by children under the age of 7, I think they would work even for kids a couple of years older. The benefit of working with children a little older would be that you could do a more in-depth study of what the Bible says.
Creation Day 1
Day 1: On day 1 of creation God said, “Let there be light.” (Genesis 1:3) This simple paper craft was such a simple way to show the light shining into the darkness.
Creation Day 2
Day 2: The craft we did for day 2 of creation showed how God separated the water from the sky (Genesis 1:6-8).
Creation Day 3
Day 3: Simple paper trees, grass, flowers, and water helped remind the kids that on day 3 of creation God created the land, sea, and plants (Genesis 1:9-13).
Creation Day 4
Day 4: The contrast between day and night in this simple craft was a great way to help the children remember that on day 4 of creation God created the sun, moon, and stars (Genesis 1:14-19).
Creation Day 5
Day 5: This craft uses simple shapes to make fish and birds. It was a cute way to help the kids remember that on day 5 of creation God created the fish and birds (Genesis 1:20-23).
Creation Day 6
Day 6: The kids used animal printouts (stickers would work great, too) for this craft to remind the children that on day 6 of creation God made the animals (Genesis 1:27-31).
Creation Day 7
Day 7: This was a fun way to show that on day 7 of creation God rested. (Genesis 2:2-3)
Creation Book Cover
We made a simple cover page for our creation books by simple tracing each child’s hand onto green paper and then gluing it to a blue circle.
We had a great time making all of these crafts and I hope you and your child or Sunday school class will as well.
