In the beginning God made – days 4-6 – craft ideas suitable for using at toddler groups and with young children in church or at home. Genesis 1 tells us how God made the world. Everything was made in a precise order and all of creation was good!

These crafts are easy to make. You need a variety of craft supplies and some preparation is needed. Below is a list of everything you need but be creative and use what you have. Magazines are great for finding pictures for crafts so have a look at what you have at home and ask people to be on the lookout for pictures on calendars and greetings card. It’s much easier than printing pictures from the web! The star shapes I have used were from a box of craft items that I found in a charity shop.

If you are running a toddler group or church group ask for donations of wool, fabric, greetings cards and used calendars. It’s like collecting treasure in the form of craft materials!

In the beginning God made – days 4-6 – craft ideas – everything you need

• Tissue paper (various colours)
• Paper plates – cut into moon and sun (see photo)

• Small pasta stars
• Star shapes
• Pictures of birds cut from magazines
• Pictures of animals cut from magazines
• People shapes
• Wool and fabric

I really like the large people shapes but if you would rather use pictures of people you can.
