What You Need: Construction paper; tape or glue sticks; and any craft supplies you have on hand, such as yarn, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, stickers, pom-poms, cotton balls, etc. What You Do: Before the Activity: Place the craft supplies in the center of the table. Give your child and yourself a piece of construction paper. What You Say: Before the Activity: “Come sit at the table with me. Today, we’re going to be AWESOME ARTISTS together! I’ve gathered lots of supplies here for us. I want you to use your imagination to create something with these supplies. (Hold up a popsicle stick or pipe cleaner.) What could you make with this? (Pause.) Great idea! When you’ve created something amazing, glue it on the paper!” During the Activity: Encourage your child to use the supplies provided to create a beautiful masterpiece.
Bible Story God Made You (Genesis 1)
After the Activity: Say, “Wow! Look at all the beautiful things you’ve made! Please tell me about them. (Give your child time to share their creation and share your own as well.) You are an AWESOME ARTIST! In today’s story, we learned that God is so creative. God made everything, but the very best thing that God made was people. God made you wonderful. You are God’s amazing work of art!”
Remember This “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Psalm 139:14, NIV
Say This Who made everything? God made everything.
Prayer “Dear God, thank you for making this amazing world for us to live in. Thank you for all of the flowers and foods and animals for us to enjoy. But most of all, thank you for making us in your image. Thank you that [child’s name] is wonderfully made by you. You are amazing, God, and we love you. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.”
