Sunday School Craft - "Let There Be Light" Creation Glow Bracelets

So. . .our children's curriculum is starting over again which means. . .

I had to think of another Creation craft!

I have done three different crafts for the days of Creation (you can see them here, here, and here), and I knew I could probably get away with just reprinting one of those older ones for the kiddies this week, but. . .let's be honest. Little kids know what crafts they have done, even if the parents have forgotten! I had to think of a new one!

So. . .I took a trip to Wal-Mart.

There I found glow bracelets five for a dollar, so. . .let there be light!

You need: cardstock (colored is optional), hole punch, scissors, and glow bracelets.

I made a verse sheet (Genesis 1:3) in Publisher, and you can print it out at the end of this post if you want to do this craft too.

Cut out the verses.

Punch a hole in either side.

Insert the bracelet into the holes and. . .you're done!

If you do this craft during the day, be sure to turn out the lights and cover the windows so the kids can all see the bracelets glow!

Sunday School Craft - Days of Creation....In the Beginning

I searched Pinterest and Google and wasn't thrilled with the "Days of Creation" Sunday School crafts there, so I found one I could modify, and modified it. 

This is my finished craft:

What I didn't like about most of the ones I found is that they used big words like "atmosphere" and "heavenly bodies." The classes I am responsible for are 2-year-olds and 3's & 4's. That means that the days needed to be overly-simplified. Also, since it was a craft, I kept wondering how I could make it tactile and 3D....Then I realized: DOLLAR TREE!

I went to Dollar Tree and bought a bunch of stickers. I found jewel stickers to represent "light" and then found foam stickers of the following kinds: flowers (plants), circles (planets), glitter stars, birds, land animals, and people (sports athletes). I also found some Finding Nemo stickers to use for fish. Then, I stuck them all on the corresponding days. I used a glue stick and a spread-apart cotton ball for the clouds on "Day Two." Pretty straightforward!

Little kids love stickers! Plus, there is barely any mess to clean up!

Here is my template:
