Close your eyes. Hold your breath.

Shhhh.

There was nothing in the beginning ... except for God. 7

Turn the light off.

Turn the light on.

8

God took the darkness and changed it so that suddenly ... there was light.

9

The light came from the sun. God made the earth and moon, all the planets and the stars.

10

How many stars? One? Two? Three? Four? God made more and more and more and more...

11

God made the oceans and the seas. He made more and more and more and more fish.

12

Make your face look like a fish. Whoops! You were asking for a kiss!

13

God made the land. He made more and more and more and more animals.

14

Which is your favorite? YOU are God’s favorite!

15

God made a man called Adam and told him to give the animals names.

16

What did Adam call these animals?

Then God made a helper and friend for Adam name Eve. Just like He made you, your fingers, your toes, your smile too.

17

Adam and Eve lived in a special garden called Eden. There God had made all different colored flowers, fish, birds, animals, trees and ...

What else?

In Eden, Adam and Eve felt God’s love everywhere.

It was like a warm hug waiting for them wherever they went. Who can you hug?

God had one rule, not to eat the fruit from one tree. God said “no.” The serpent told Eve “yes.”
