Creation book for preschool, Day 1

July 24, 2009 By Ticia 4 Comments

If you are a very brave Sunday School teacher you can complete this Days of Creation Boook with your preschoolers.  I’ll admit I wouldn’t be that brave. Instead this was part of our Kindergarten curriculum, though it would make a great homeschool preschool lesson.

Getting started on Days of Creation book

As we covered Creation, I told my kids on the first day of Creation God created light and dark and separated them. Then I gave them yellow and black paint and let them paint their own masterpiece. They could use any of our painting materials, so they got out brayers, paint brushes, used their fingers. We got some interesting ideas from it. After they finished their first piece I let them have as many colors as they wanted. The other artworks will be saved to use for wrapping paper.

Creation story bookBatman used mostly black for his first painting with this small little spot of yellow. He explained it was the dollar store. They’re obsessed with it right now because that’s where they get to go for being dry all night.

Creation story bookSuperman’s second piece was this super cool multi-colored masterpiece that was completely covered. His also was the Dollar Store.

Why make this Creation book?

Little kids are concrete and tactile, and putting together a Days of Creation book like this helps them figure out what God did each day. It also gives them a physical book to help them tell the story.

    This is fantastic! I liked your approach of tying this open-ended activity with something they are learning about. The picture of Batman with his tongue sticking out cracked me up. And I am pretty impressed with the results – very striking. I am learning every day from you and other moms participating in an Open-Ended festival.

    That is a brilliant idea. Batman did a great job of covering his whole page, we're still working on that with Froglet (not for Open-ended Art, just in general).
