Creation Story
In this section I've put together some simple pages to go with the
story. You can use them in a number of ways (my favorite is as felt
board characters):
Use the sheets as... COLORING PAGES
 | simply print the black and white version of each page and allow
the children to color them.
|
Use the sheets as... PUPPETS
| Cut out each character and tape it to a popsicle stick or an
unsharpened pencil.
|
| If working with a group of children, each one can be a certain
character.
 | There are small story parts at the bottom of each page.
The leader can read the parts while the children wave their
puppets. For older kids, they can read the parts
themselves. Then the entire group can say the "Thank-you Lord for the
_____ and the _____. God made the World, Amen." part
together. |
|
Use the sheets as... FELT BOARD CHARACTERS
| Cut out each character.
|
| Cut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the
back of each character (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger
piece of sandpaper). The sandpaper will allow the characters to
stick on your felt board.

part together.

Use the sheets as... a CREATION QUILT
Thanks to Anna for sending in this idea: Instead of using the
sheets for a felt board, cut them out and let the children paste them onto
squares of construction paper, cardstock or wallpaper. Punch holes
around the outside edges of the squares. Use a piece of wool to
stitch together the squares to make a quilt.

etc. all the way
down to the
sixth day. |
THE TEMPLATES (in order of appearance in the story):
| close template window when done printing to return to this screen.
|
| change your page margins to zero (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER
SETUP in most browsers). See print
help for more info.
