There’s nothing like a good ol’ Sunday school lesson to get you started on the right foot for the week. And what better way to start than with some crafts that’ll make even the most apathetic of children jump for joy? That’s right, we’ve got some free 7 Days of Creation crafts that are sure to make even the grumpiest Sunday school student happy-go-lucky.
Day 1 - Let There Be Light
Welcome to Day 1, where God said “Let there be light.” And boy, did he deliver. So why not make your very own light switch cover to commemorate the occasion? All you need is a plain white switch cover, some paint, and a little creativity. Paint the cover in bright yellows, oranges, and reds, then add in some little stars and glitter for a little extra pizzazz. Then attach it to your wall and let the light shine down on you.
Day 2 - Separating the Waters
On Day 2, God created the heavens and separated the waters. And what better way to celebrate than by creating your very own water bottle that separates liquids? All you need is a clear water bottle, some blue dye, some oil, and a little bit of patience. Fill your bottle about 3/4 of the way with water, then add a couple of drops of blue dye and a few drops of oil. Shake the bottle up and watch as the oil separates from the water, creating a beautiful “heavens and waters” effect.
Day 3 - Let the Earth Bring Forth
Day 3 was all about the earth bringing forth fruit and vegetation. So why not make your very own little pot plant to celebrate? All you need is a small pot, some soil, and a little plant of your choosing. Fill the pot with soil, then add in your plant and water it. Watch as it grows just like the fruit and vegetation did on Day 3 - except you won’t have to wait days or weeks to see the fruits of your labor.
Day 4 - Lights in the Firmament
Day 4 was all about those beautiful lights in the firmament, AKA the stars and the moon. So why not make your very own constellation jar to celebrate? All you need is a clear jar, some paint, and a few sticks. Paint the inside of the jar with black paint, then take your sticks and create your very own mini constellation by sticking them to the inside of the jar. Then add in a little LED light and watch as your constellation shines bright, just like the stars and the moon.
Day 5 - Let the Waters Bring Forth
Day 5 was all about the waters bringing forth living creatures. So why not make your very own little sea creature to celebrate? All you need is some air-dry clay, some paint, and a little imagination. Sculpt your own little sea creature out of the clay, then paint it in whatever colors and designs you like. Add in some googly eyes for a little extra fun, and you’ve got a little sea creature that would make even the biggest sea creature enthusiast proud.
Day 6 - Let Us Make Man
Day 6 was all about making man in God’s image. So why not make your own little “God’s eye” to celebrate? All you need is some popsicle sticks, some yarn, and a little bit of glue. Glue two popsicle sticks together to make a “t,” then wrap the yarn around the two sticks in a figure-eight pattern. Keep wrapping until you’re happy with the size, then tie off the ends of the yarn. Add in some little details like beads or feathers, and you’ve got your very own “God’s eye” just like the ones made in Mexico.
Day 7 - Rest
And finally, on Day 7, God rested. So why not make your very own “rest jar” to celebrate? All you need is a clear jar, some glitter, and a little bit of patience. Fill your jar with water, then add in a couple of drops of food coloring and some glitter. Shake it up, then sit back and watch as the glitter slowly falls and rests at the bottom of the jar. It’s a perfect reminder to take a break and rest every once in a while, just like God did on Day 7.
And there you have it, folks. Seven days of fun crafts that are sure to make any Sunday school class a hit. So grab your glue, your paint, and your imagination, and get to crafting.
