										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of talk over the past few years about family worship, also referred to as family discipleship.</p>
<p>Have you ever wondered if it&#8217;s really all that important to read the Bible with your family?</p>
<p>Could it really be a part of God&#8217;s plan to study the Bible with your <em>whole </em>family?</p>
<p>Is it even possible to read the Bible with all your kids at the same time?</p>
<p><strong>As homeschool parents, we do have the opportunity to spend our Bible time with all of our children at once. Not only does it make the process easier&#8211;it looks pretty biblical, as well.</strong></p>
<h2>Why Read and Study the Bible with Your Whole Family?</h2>
<p>I always like to look to God’s original design when considering how we should function in our lives.</p>
<p>Just like God established the church, he established families—and he directs families to worship together.</p>
<p><strong>In the Old Testament, as we see in Ezra, Nehemiah, and Joel, families are called to stand together for the public reading of God’s Word—even the smallest people.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly.</strong> &#8211; Ezra 10:1, ESV</p></blockquote>
<p>In Ezra, children were included in the assembly of the Lord.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span class="text Neh-8-1">And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the <span class="small-caps">Lord</span> had commanded Israel.</span> <span id="en-ESV-12496" class="text Neh-8-2">So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month.</span> <span id="en-ESV-12497" class="text Neh-8-3">And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. </span></strong>&#8211; Nehemiah 8:1-3</p></blockquote>
<p>The book of Nehemiah also describes children in the assembly, listening to the Book of the Law of Moses. Nehemiah 12:43 refers to children rejoicing with the people.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span class="indent-1"><span id="en-ESV-22328" class="text Joel-2-16">&#8230;gather the people.</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="text Joel-2-16">Consecrate the congregation;</span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="indent-1"><span class="text Joel-2-16">assemble the elders;</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="text Joel-2-16">gather the children,</span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="indent-1"><span class="text Joel-2-16">even nursing infants.</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span class="text Joel-2-16">Let the bridegroom leave his room,</span></strong><br />
<span class="indent-1"><span class="text Joel-2-16"><strong>and the bride her chamber.</strong> &#8211; Joel 2:16, ESV</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p>In Joel, the assembly even includes nursing infants.</p>
<p>Not only are we to worship our Lord together in the larger body of Christ. We are also called to worship God as a family. Deuteronomy chapters 6 and 11 have, perhaps, some of the best known, direct commands to do so.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span id="en-ESV-5091" class="text Deut-6-4">Hear, O Israel: The <span class="small-caps">Lord</span> our God, the <span class="small-caps">Lord</span> is one. </span><span id="en-ESV-5092" class="text Deut-6-5">You shall love the <span class="small-caps">Lord</span> your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. </span><span id="en-ESV-5093" class="text Deut-6-6">And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. </span><span id="en-ESV-5094" class="text Deut-6-7">You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. </span><span id="en-ESV-5095" class="text Deut-6-8">You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. </span></strong><span id="en-ESV-5096" class="text Deut-6-9"><strong>You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.</strong> &#8211; Deuteronomy 6:4-9</span></p></blockquote>

<h2>Read the Bible with Family</h2>
<p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NhiKruNx8bE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center><strong>When we read and discuss the Bible as a family, it communicates to our kids:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>That God’s Word is important</li>
<li>That we can learn about the Bible together, and from each other</li>
<li>That our family has committed “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15b)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>There is great value, too, in being able to guide our kids through the Bible. We want to be able to help point them—over and over again—to the gospel of Jesus Christ.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It is so vital that our kids learn who God is—that he is sovereign and holy.</li>
<li>They need to know that we are sinful and that our sin separates us from a holy and just God.</li>
<li>We want to communicate over and over again that God loves us so much that he had a great plan for our salvation since before the beginning of the world, and Jesus—God the Son and the Son of God—became fully God and fully man so he could live a sinless life and take the punishment for our sins.</li>
<li>We need only to believe on him and confess in with our mouths, turning from our sin—repenting—and we will be saved.</li>
<li>We also want our kids to understand Jesus’ commands to his followers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Not only <em>can </em>we study the Bible as a family, it is really important that we <em>do. </em>Our kids need our guidance and support understanding the most important book in the universe.</strong></p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12320 aligncenter" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks.jpg" alt="One sentence bible storybooks" width="403" height="674" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks.jpg 403w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks-179x300.jpg 179w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This post is sponsored by Tyndale Publishing. All opinions are my own.</p>
<h2>One Sentence Bible Storybooks</h2>
<p>I love being able to weave God into every subject in our homeschool. That&#8217;s very difficult when finding material for my daughter to practice reading. With her limited abilities, I&#8217;m lucky to find stories that have a point at all. <a href="http://www.tyndale.com/Bible-Favorites/9781589977990" target="_blank">One Sentence Bible Storybooks</a> help my daughter remember the most important stories and characters of the Bible. Plus, she gets to practice her reading skills because of the simple words and repetitive text.</p>
<p>We really enjoyed reading the storybooks together, then doing the devotional in the back. There&#8217;s even a short prayer to make it easy for parents.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tyndale.com/Bible-Favorites/9781589977990" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12323 aligncenter" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks-devotional.jpg" alt="One sentence bible storybooks devotional" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks-devotional.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks-devotional-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/One-sentence-bible-storybooks-devotional-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></a></p>
<p>Since each book just gives one sentence on the Bible story, you can expound upon the storybooks by talking about the whole Bible story if your children remember it, or reading to them from larger Storybook Bible.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12324 aligncenter" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Reading-one-sentence-bible-storybooks.jpg" alt="Reading one sentence bible storybooks" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Reading-one-sentence-bible-storybooks.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Reading-one-sentence-bible-storybooks-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Reading-one-sentence-bible-storybooks-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>The story also gives a verse to remember in the back, so we made it our memory verse for the week. A fun and hands-on way to help children memorize scripture is to make a craft and hang it up where they can see it. Then, throughout the week, have them say the verse as they look at their craft that they made. You can make it stick even more by offering a reward for repeating the verse without help at the end of the week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tyndale.com/Bible-Favorites/9781589977990" target="_blank">One Sentence Bible Storybooks</a> come in sets of ten books. The sets that are now available are; Bible Favorites, Bible Heros, Bible Animals.</p>
<h2>The Burning Bush Bible Craft</h2>
<p>One week, my daughter read Moses and the Bush. The illustrations are adorable and she really liked the image to word guide in the back to help her identify the important words in the story.</p>
<p>After she read the story, I did the short devotional and then helped her do a simple craft for the memory verse of the week.</p>
<p>For this craft, you can draw a bush outline on a piece of green construction paper, or print of this <a href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/burning-bush-activity.pdf" target="_blank">handy printable</a> that I made onto card stock or construction paper.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/burning-bush-activity.pdf" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12326 aligncenter" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-printable.jpg" alt="moses and the burning bush craft printable" width="502" height="373" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-printable.jpg 502w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-printable-300x223.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px" /></a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need pieces of orange, red, and/or yellow tissue paper and glue. Have your child put a small amount of glue on the bush and attach their tissue paper where they want to represent the bush being on fire. After they are done with this simple craft, have them repeat the verse to you.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12321 aligncenter" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Easy-Moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-for-preschool.jpg" alt="Easy Moses and the burning bush craft for preschool" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Easy-Moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-for-preschool.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Easy-Moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-for-preschool-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Easy-Moses-and-the-burning-bush-craft-for-preschool-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In six days the God created the world. On the seventh he rested, not for His sake, but for man&#8217;s. The seventh day was to be holy. The Sabbath was meant to be a day of rest and refocus; a reminder of our purpose in life. <span style="font-size: 13px;">Yet, in the last hundred years, Christians seem to have forgotten the importance of the Sabbath.</span></p>
<p>Because our society is in the process of turning its back on God, keeping the sabbath is not easy. To the rest of America, the Lord&#8217;s Day is just another day. If you want to raise your children in the Lord, the Sabbath is a must; it is God&#8217;s weekly devotion. Don&#8217;t try to replace it with your own version. God&#8217;s knows your family&#8217;s needs better than you do.</p>

<p>So, what is the Sabbath and how can we keep it in today&#8217;s secular world? The Sabbath is one day in seven to rest and worship God. It is a whole day, not a Church service.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keeping the whole Sabbath used to be a big struggle for me. I&#8217;d wake early and work, go to Church (where I often daydreamed about work) and then returned home and continued my work. I wasn&#8217;t keeping the Sabbath; I wasn&#8217;t giving that day over to the Lord. I was checking a spiritual block and then returning to my &#8216;pressing&#8217; work.</p>
<p>If you want to keep the Sabbath I&#8217;d recommend sundown Saturday night to sundown Sunday night. That is a full day and I promise, God is worth it.</p>
<p>If we want our children to respect the Sabbath, then we have to set the example. I recommend that parents try not to work on Sunday, unless your work is in emergency care. Jesus says that, &#8220;It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.&#8221; So, when we talk about work, we are talking about working for our own benefit.</p>
<p>When I first attempted to take the Sabbath more seriously, I resolved NOT to work on my business on Sunday. Then I did something worse. I worked hard all week, sometimes 16 hour days, only on my business. So when Sunday came around all the house and yard work had piled up and I used &#8220;my day of rest and worship&#8221; to catch up on it.</p>
<p>Instead of doing petty chores during the workweek, I was saving them for the Sabbath, again putting my work ahead of God.</p>
<p>It is funny how hard we try to find a way around honoring the Sabbath when the Sabbath was created for our own benefit; honoring God is what we were made for and when we do it our lives work better.</p>
<p>There is no job, no soccer game, no football game that can fill that void. The minute you start compromising, cutting the day short, substituting days, claiming work is rest for you, redefining work, you begin to destroy the Sabbath for yourself; and you and your family suffer.</p>
<h2>Activities to Do with Your Children on the Sabbath</h2>
<p>1. Pray &#8211; Make 3 prayer lists. One of things to pray for yourself, one of things to pray for others, and one of people you want to give their lives to Jesus.</p>
<p>2. Fast &#8211; Choose 1 meal to skip and give the money to those who are in need. This is one of the hardest things for children to do, but the impact is greater.</p>
<p>3. Sing &#8211; It keeps the house joyful and pleases the Lord. Psalm 9:2, &#8220;I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.&#8221; Some of my favorite songs are here and we also <a href="songsforsaplings.com" target="_blank">LOVE Songs for Saplings.</a></p>
<p>4. Read &#8211; Of course your Bible would be a good pick, but also anything that glorifies Him.</p>
<p>5. Watch &#8211; A Bible Movie after reading are great to help kids remember the lesson and we highly recommend watching a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PTC13E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001PTC13E&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=trai0b-20&amp;linkId=WQHBGILQZGW4GMI2" target="_blank">movie about Eric Liddle</a> (aff. link), who wouldn&#8217;t run in the Olympics on the Sabbath.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably studied the complexities of man, how everything in our bodies work together to help us function at our best. Animals demonstrate the same thing and many have unique features that could never evolve in slow succession because the animal would die.</p>
<p>Take the giraffe for example. Many people believe that the giraffe&#8217;s neck slowly became longer over time so it could reach leaves on the tops of trees. However, a giraffe has many different things in it&#8217;s body that would have had to evolve at the same time with exactly the right functions. If not, the pressure from the blood rushing to it&#8217;s head when it bent over would cause brain damage!</p>
<p>For day 6 we read a lot about the amazing animals God made and how our bodies work. We did a lion craft, jungle scene, and talked about what makes each person unique with a little silhouette activity.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5898" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/easy-lion-art-for-kids.jpg" alt="easy lion art for kids" width="667" height="667" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/easy-lion-art-for-kids.jpg 667w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/easy-lion-art-for-kids-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/easy-lion-art-for-kids-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></p>
<h2>Creation Craft</h2>
<p>For our <a title="The Creation Story for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids/" target="_blank">copy-work printables</a>, we did a super simple craft. First we talked about some <a href="http://www.chakarov.com/studentswork/lions/physical.html" target="_blank">amazing features of Lions.</a> Then, the kids drew lines with different shades of orange and yellow for the lion&#8217;s mane. Then I printed out some lion heads on yellow paper (they could have been bear heads. I don&#8217;t remember). Here is a <a href="https://www.cleverpatch.com.au/ideas/details/lion-paper-bag-puppet" target="_blank">template for a lion head</a> if you need something like it. Just click the green &#8216;download template&#8217; button.</p>
<p>The older kids also did a project when the little ones were taking a nap. We made some Jungle Dioramas out of tissue boxes.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5901" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama-.jpg" alt="jungle diorama" width="350" height="525" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama-.jpg 350w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama--200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></p>
<p>It was a little difficult to cut the box, but they didn&#8217;t give up. Well, I wouldn&#8217;t let them <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>Then they used construction paper, stencils and an animal drawing book to make a jungle scene. I showed them how they could cut slits in the top of the box and hang vines down to give it a 3D look.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5902" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama.jpg" alt="jungle diorama" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/jungle-diorama-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>A great book to go with this project would be the <a href="http://f4629.myubam.com/p/4068/secrets-of-the-rain-forest" target="_blank">Shine-a-light Rain Forest</a> book from my Usborne store.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Watch Amazing Animals</h2>
<p>This video is great to show children in little bits. It might be too long for younger children, but we LOVED it! Even I learned a TON about God&#8217;s amazing animals and how hard it is to imagine them being randomly formed.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oxry5fygDFg?list=PLUAm4n2dFvsK3hbYZAKUZjvMYb2zPljdT" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h2>Who Am I? Silhouettes</h2>
<p>We did another activity about ourselves; to show our unique traits and also similarities.</p>
<p>First I had the children take turns standing by a wall facing to the left. I had another child shine a light at their face and I traced the silhouette on a piece of paper on the wall.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5899" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-activity-creation-story-for-kids.jpg" alt="god made me activity creation story for kids" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-activity-creation-story-for-kids.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-activity-creation-story-for-kids-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>Then I asked the children things that they liked, about themselves and just in general. We talked about how every person in the whole world is unique. Millions and millions of individuals, not one exactly the same as the other. It really is amazing to think about!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5900" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-silhouettes.jpg" alt="god made me silhouettes" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-silhouettes.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-silhouettes-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/god-made-me-silhouettes-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>We ended every activity with a prayer to thank God for all that He has made. For making it so beautiful, complex, and interested so that we would know that He is God. We prayed for help with remembering how special every person is so we can be nicer, more generous, and think about how others feel more often.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sun, moon, stars, and planets give us a glimpse of how perfect God&#8217;s creation is. All three things work together to make our planet the only one that can sustain life.</p>
<p>Space is such a fun subject so for day 4 in our Creation Story books, we did 2 crafts and a couple of simple experiments.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5871" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-Story-for-Kids-learning-about-the-solar-system.jpg" alt="Creation Story for Kids - learning about the solar system" width="400" height="574" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-Story-for-Kids-learning-about-the-solar-system.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-Story-for-Kids-learning-about-the-solar-system-209x300.jpg 209w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>There are so many different activities you could do for this day, as numerous as the stars really. Here are a few that we did, plus you can find more resources for <a title="Explore Space with Lots of Fun Activities for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/fun-space-activities-for-kids/">studying space here.</a></p>
<h2>Creation Craft</h2>
<p>The first craft we did was a Sun Sun Catcher. Yes, real original, I know. They turned out beautiful though!</p>
<p>To make our suns, we used yellow, orange, red, and pink tissue paper. First I had the children cut the tissue paper up into little pieces, but that didn&#8217;t work out very well. So we ended up just tearing it into pieces. It was a lot funner that way too.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5872" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/days-of-creation-crafts-sun-craft.jpg" alt="days of creation crafts sun craft" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/days-of-creation-crafts-sun-craft.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/days-of-creation-crafts-sun-craft-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/days-of-creation-crafts-sun-craft-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>I cut a whole in the center of a piece of blue construction paper by folding it in half and cutting a half circle on the folded edge.</p>
<p>I helped the children place their construction paper onto contact paper and then they placed the tissue paper where they wanted it.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5873" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-story-craft-sun-catchers.jpg" alt="creation story craft sun catchers" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-story-craft-sun-catchers.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-story-craft-sun-catchers-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-story-craft-sun-catchers-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>For our stars and moon, we made scrap paper collages again. This time, I had the kids glue a bunch of pieces of yellow paper, in different designs, on yellow construction paper.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5876" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/start-craft-for-creation-story.jpg" alt="star craft for creation story" width="660" height="441" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/start-craft-for-creation-story.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/start-craft-for-creation-story-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/start-craft-for-creation-story-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We did the same with blue paper for the moon.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5874" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/sun-moon-stars-crafts-for-creation.jpg" alt="sun moon stars crafts for creation" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/sun-moon-stars-crafts-for-creation.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/sun-moon-stars-crafts-for-creation-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>Then after they were dry, we cut the yellow paper into a star shape and the blue paper into a circle for the moon.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5875" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/star-and-moon-craft-for-creation-story.jpg" alt="star and moon craft for creation story" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/star-and-moon-craft-for-creation-story.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/star-and-moon-craft-for-creation-story-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/star-and-moon-craft-for-creation-story-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>We glued them onto our <a title="The Creation Story for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids/">copy-work page</a> and practiced our handwriting. If we ever do this again, I might have the children paint the paper black before they put their star and moon on.</p>

<h2>Experiments to Demonstrate Earth&#8217;s Orbit</h2>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/designss.html" target="_blank">galaxy is so unique</a>, it is impossible to think that it happened through random chance. If any one thing was off you would have, extreme temperatures, low oxygen levels, drought, high radiation levels; life just would not be able to exist on earth. <a title="The Creation Story for Kids: Day 1" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids-day-1/" target="_blank">Click here to print off an experiment</a> worksheet for this activity and record your findings.</p>
<p>First, I showed the children how the earth revolves around the sun and why that is important. First I took a round cake pan and put a piece of yellow paper in the middle for the sun. I drew a black dot on a marble to represent us on the earth. The kids took turns moving the earth around the sun by turning the pan.</p>
<p>They could visualize how the earth goes around the sun and gives us nights and days. Now, I should have put the sun a little bit off centered because that is what it is really like.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5879" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment.jpg" alt="orbit experiment" width="600" height="449" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment.jpg 600w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>For our second experiment I wanted to show the kids what gravity is. I had the children take turns spinning a basket around with toys in it. They had to spin it fast enough to get the toys to stay in the basket. I told the kids how our whole solar system works together to help us stay put and not float around because it gives the earth it&#8217;s gravity. So gravity is basically a force that pulls things together.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5878" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment-activity.jpg" alt="orbit experiment activity" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment-activity.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/orbit-experiment-activity-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>The moon is very important to the earth because it&#8217;s gravity helps us stay in our orbit and gives the earth a constant tilt. If the moon disappeared one day, everything on the earth would change.</p>
<h2>What if the Moon Disappeared?</h2>
<p>To give the children an example of what would happen if something in our solar system changed or disappeared, we watched some of the video below.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7VEiQ16I4XQ?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Everything in our solar system was made so that life could exist on Earth. So, after I finished each activity, I reminded my children of God&#8217;s amazing power, wisdom and how He cares for us sooo much.  Psalm 147:4-5 &#8220;<span id="en-NIV-16356" class="text Ps-147-4">He determines the number of the stars </span><span class="indent-1"><span class="text Ps-147-4">and calls them each by name. </span></span><span id="en-NIV-16357" class="text Ps-147-5"><sup class="versenum"> </sup>Great is our Lord and mighty in power; H</span><span class="indent-1"><span class="text Ps-147-5">is understanding has no limit.&#8221;</span></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, our earth starts looking inhabitable! God gives us food through plants on the third day. He made trees &#8220;bearing-fruit with seed in it&#8221;. So we know the answer to the age-old question, Which came first, the seed or the tree?</p>
<p>Our craft for the 3rd day was making leaf prints on our <a title="The Creation Story for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids/">Copy-Work printables</a> and putting together a beautiful collage to visualize all that God made on Day 3. Plus we did an easy experiment to show how plants get nutrients and water from the soil.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5847" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-collage-art-for-kids.jpg" alt="landscape collage art for kids" width="400" height="741" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-collage-art-for-kids.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-collage-art-for-kids-162x300.jpg 162w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>This is a craft you can customize for all ages. For the little ones, I like to cut out some of the shapes ahead of time. I let the older kids cut everything for themselves.</p>
<h2>Creation Craft</h2>
<p>This was my favorite craft that we did through our whole creation project. It just turned out so good even with the toddlers in my class.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5843" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-art-project-for-kids.jpg" alt="creation art project for kids" width="660" height="423" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-art-project-for-kids.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-art-project-for-kids-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-art-project-for-kids-140x90.jpg 140w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>To make the collage, we used natural colors of scrapbook paper, craft scissors, glue and sticker paper. I tried to choose colors that matched what everything looks like in real life. I guided the children on how to make the background and then the foreground with the trees and &#8216;sea&#8217;.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5844" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-the-land-seas-plants-and-trees.jpg" alt="creation craft - the land, seas, plants, and trees" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-the-land-seas-plants-and-trees.jpg 600w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-the-land-seas-plants-and-trees-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-the-land-seas-plants-and-trees-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>I had ages 2-5 doing this craft, but even older children will enjoy it. We talked about each thing that was made and how it benefits the earth and all the living creatures in it. The seas, the land, the plants; everything works together to support life. God was preparing a perfect place for man to live.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5846" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-art-project-for-kids.jpg" alt="landscape art project for kids" width="504" height="504" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-art-project-for-kids.jpg 504w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-art-project-for-kids-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/landscape-art-project-for-kids-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px" /></p>
<h2>How Plants Get Nutrients Experiment</h2>
<p>This experiment combines all three elements that God made into one. It shows how plants get what they need from the water in the soil. To do this experiment I bought some white carnations from the grocery store. I cut the ends at a diagonal and put them in water that had different colors of food coloring in it.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5845" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/how-plants-get-nutrients-experiment.jpg" alt="how plants get nutrients experiment" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/how-plants-get-nutrients-experiment.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/how-plants-get-nutrients-experiment-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>It took a little while to get them to really change color. I also added some of the plant food that came with the flowers to see if that helped them absorb the color more and the kids recorded what they found on their <a title="The Creation Story for Kids: Day 1" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids-day-1/">Experiment Observation Worksheet.</a></p>
<p>The kids were amazed and could see that what is in the water or soil is sucked up into the plant.</p>
<h2>Photosynthesis Video</h2>
<p>We also watched this video to show how plants turn light into food.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3pD68uxRLkM?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>I finished both of our activities by thanking God for making everything we need for food and to help us take better care of ourselves by eating more fruits and vegetables.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.&#8221; Psalm 19:1</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t for sure what the sky was like in the days of creation. Scientists speculate that the atmosphere was a lot thicker because of what it says in Genesis 1:6-8 about there being water above the expanse called sky.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5840" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-activities-for-kids-Day-2-Sky.jpg" alt="creation activities for kids - Day 2 Sky" width="455" height="684" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-activities-for-kids-Day-2-Sky.jpg 455w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-activities-for-kids-Day-2-Sky-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px" /></p>
<p>Even so, I wanted to teach my children about what the sky is and why, today, the sky is blue.</p>
<h2>Creation Craft</h2>
<p>First, we made a rainbow because part of the reason the sky is blue is because of light. Light has a combination of all the colors of the rainbow. You can also explain a little bit about the different layers of our sky with this craft too. I really like how it combines aspects from our <a title="The Creation Story for Kids: Day 1" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids-day-1/">Day 1 of the creation story.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5833" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-craft-creation-activity.jpg" alt="rainbow craft creation activity" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-craft-creation-activity.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-craft-creation-activity-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-craft-creation-activity-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>We used Q-tips to paint our rainbow. It really helps cut down on mess and is easy to clean up. I had the children put another piece of paper over their <a title="The Creation Story for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids/">copy-work sheet</a> and start painting with one color at a time. We moved the paper down to reveal a clean spot on our sheet and added another color until our paper was filled with the colors of the rainbow. Yes I forgot green, but stuff happens <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5834" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-q-tip-craft.jpg" alt="rainbow q-tip craft" width="660" height="418" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-q-tip-craft.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-q-tip-craft-300x190.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rainbow-q-tip-craft-140x90.jpg 140w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<h2>Why is the Sky Blue Experiment</h2>
<p>Then I explained what happens to all those colors when the light hits the sky with an experiment. We used my science experiment printable that <a title="The Creation Story for Kids: Day 1" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids-day-1/" target="_blank">you can find here</a> to record our findings.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5835" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/why-is-the-sky-blue-experiment-for-kids.jpg" alt="why is the sky blue experiment for kids" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/why-is-the-sky-blue-experiment-for-kids.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/why-is-the-sky-blue-experiment-for-kids-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/why-is-the-sky-blue-experiment-for-kids-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>We used milk to represent the gas and particles that are kept in our sky because of the atmosphere. I explained that if we didn&#8217;t have an atmosphere, the sky wouldn&#8217;t be blue. It would be black. Just like you see pictures taken on the moon, even with the sun shining.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/features/bm_gallery_4.html" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5837" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/the-sky-from-the-moon.jpg" alt="the sky from the moon" width="516" height="413" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/the-sky-from-the-moon.jpg 516w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/the-sky-from-the-moon-300x240.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px" /></a></p>
<p>We dimmed the room so the light from outside wouldn&#8217;t shine on our water. First, we shined the light on the water without adding any milk to see what it looked like. Then, we added a very small amount of milk to the water and shined a light on it. We tried looking at it from all different angles. When you looked at it from the side with the light shining to the right or the left, you could really see the blue tint.</p>

<p>When you looked right at the light, you could see a little blue tint above the light, but also some yellow and orange. You can learn more about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo1WoKfJfkA" target="_blank">this experiment here.</a></p>
<h2>Watch a Video about the Atmosphere</h2>
<p>This is a great video that we watched about the different layers of the atmosphere. It is truly amazing how complex the atmosphere is.</p>

<p>To end our lessons, I gave praise to God for making the sky and providing everything that we need to breathe and stay safe. I prayed for God to help us understand and remember the science behind His amazing creation so we can glorify Him.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know what is more amazing; the fact that God created light, or light itself. Even though scientists know how light behaves, they don&#8217;t really know why.</p>
<p>For day 1 in our <a title="The Creation Story for Kids!" href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-creation-story-for-kids/">Creation Story Book</a>, we started with our memory verse, Genesis 1:1. We did 2 very basic art projects and our copy-work.</p>
<p>First, we drew the earth on our printable and then we did a simple crayon resist painting.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5820 size-full" title="creation craft day 1 god made light" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-day-1-god-made-light.jpg" alt="creation craft day 1 god made light" width="400" height="608" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-day-1-god-made-light.jpg 400w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-craft-day-1-god-made-light-197x300.jpg 197w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<h2>God Made Light Creation Craft</h2>
<p>Crayon resist is perfect for the first day of creation. The effect illustrates exactly what it says in the Bible, Genesis 1:3-5. I especially like to emphasize to my kids HOW God made light; through His word. God&#8217;s word is THAT powerful!</p>
<p>We started with a blank white piece of paper and used white, yellow, and orange crayons to draw a burst of light in the middle of the pages. Then I reminded them about how God separated the light from the darkness and we used black watercolor to paint over the crayon.</p>
<p>The crayon (the light) shows up bright against the paint (darkness).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5821" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-day-1-light-art.jpg" alt="creation day 1 light art" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-day-1-light-art.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-day-1-light-art-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/creation-day-1-light-art-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<h2>Making Light Experiment</h2>
<p>Later on, we did some experiments with light to try and explain what it is. We watched this little video on light first.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iletCKDCt_0?rel=0" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>In simple terms, light is energy. We tried to make a light a few different ways. First, we tried making it with sugar cubes. It was really hard and we ended up having to go in a closet. One of the dads in our homeschool co-op rolled the sugar cubes with a rolling pin really vigorously and saved the experiment. It worked! The friction created when the sugar cubes hit each other created little sparks of light.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5819" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/making-light-experiment.jpg" alt="making light experiment" width="660" height="440" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/making-light-experiment.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/making-light-experiment-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/making-light-experiment-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /></p>
<p>Then we tried it with a balloon and a fleece blanket. That worked too! The science behind that <a href="http://www.livescience.com/4077-shocking-truth-static-electricity.html" target="_blank">is a little more complicated,</a> but your older children will love learning about how electrons are attracted to the blanket and then jump from the blanket to the balloon and create a lightning effect!</p>
<p>Finally we used glow sticks to make some really bright light. Make sure you show the children how the sticks don&#8217;t glow until you break the glass inside. Then, the gas and chemicals combine and start releasing energy. Then they start to glow.</p>
<p>Use this <a href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Science-experiment-worksheet-printable.pdf" target="_blank">science experiment printable</a> to record your findings and talk about how amazing the light that God made is!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Science-experiment-worksheet-printable.pdf" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5823" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Science-experiment-worksheet-printable.jpg" alt="Science experiment worksheet printable" width="402" height="520" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Science-experiment-worksheet-printable.jpg 402w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Science-experiment-worksheet-printable-232x300.jpg 232w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Just like the light is energy and helps guide us through the dark, God&#8217;s word does the same thing for us in life. So, after each of our activities we took time to pray and ask God to help us remember to listen to His word so that we won&#8217;t live in darkness and stumble through life, but live in peace and be energized by the hope His words bring to us.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Psalm 119:105, &#8220;Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.&#8221;<br />
John 8:12, &#8220;When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the <b>light</b> of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the <b>light</b> of life.”&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My kids love the creation story. While it seems so simple, it holds the answers to one of life&#8217;s most important questions; where did we come from?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t just want my kids to KNOW the story, I want them to BELIEVE. I&#8217;ve started by teaching them what was made on each day. Then later, I can fill in more of the details.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve joined with other bloggers to bring you even more ideas! Join us for activities, crafts, experiments and more to help your children learn the Creation Story!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-5744" src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-story-for-kids.jpg" alt="The creation story for kids" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-story-for-kids.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-story-for-kids-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Creation-story-for-kids-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll list each day below and continue to add resources to help you and your children create a Creation Story Book.</p>
<h2>Creation Story Book for Kids</h2>
<p>We made these little books in my preschool 2 years ago. The kids enjoyed every activity! We don&#8217;t do too many structured crafts unless they are learning activities. These crafts accomplish more than that! They help children learn about what God made on each day of creation, practice handwriting, and make a book that they will love to read over and over.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5745 " src="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/handmade-creation-storybook-for-kids.jpg" alt="handmade creation storybook for kids" width="501" height="501" srcset="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/handmade-creation-storybook-for-kids.jpg 660w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/handmade-creation-storybook-for-kids-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/handmade-creation-storybook-for-kids-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For this storybook, I took the children&#8217;s artwork from the days of creation and put it in sheet protectors. Then I tied the sheet protectors together with string and duck-taped the side to make a very sturdy book that is perfect for a memory box.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you like to do your own creation unit and storybook, please see the days of creation below with ideas for activities you can do. If the activity isn&#8217;t a craft, I suggest taking a picture and gluing it onto the creation copy-work printables you find below.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Creation Copy-work and Drawing Sheet Printables</h2>
<p>We used these printables below for some of the art that we did for our storybooks. It also helps to have some Biblical text to guide you on what to say for each day. Although, not all of these are the actual verses, but summaries of the creation story.</p>
<p>They are great for handwriting practice too! If your child is too young to trace it on their own, you can just guide their hand by holding their wrist. To download, <a href="https://www.trueaimeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/days-of-creation-copywork.pdf" target="_blank">click the image below</a> and save to your computer. Please share this post when telling others about these printables and not the download itself. Thank you!</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">This week&#8217;s Giveaway!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.spielgaben.com/" target="_blank">Spielgaben Learning Set</a></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The world’s best educational toy, Spielgaben puts education back into the hands of the parents. While it appears deceptively simple, Spielgaben represents a sophisticated approach to child development. This hands-on set encourages very young children to think mathematically by manipulating materials: patterning, sorting, counting, geometry, addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, fractions. It helps build their creativity and strengthens their problem solving skills. For ages 3- 12, this is one toy that will last a lifetime. (A $449 value.)</p>
