This is a fun lapbook-ish craft we made for some of our kids for this week. Use the following sheet as a base:
Then, color and cut out the following flaps and glue them on so that they are face-down but can be lifted up to see the contents. Makes a great review sheet if you're wanting the days of Creation in order (and who doesn't?)! Enjoy!
OT week 1 is basically a lined one for the creations by Nathan king in year 2019 for the month of February. This is a fun lap book crafted and made for some of the kids in this week as dissertation writing services reviews with the following of the base sheets.
These lapbook creations come from a customer in Lawrence, Kansas... thanks, Kelly!
Here's the picture we've used to represent this week in BQ.
For Week 1, you might consider doing a 'Hands-on-Creation-Story.' Put together 'Creation Kits' (in the bags) that include all materials and give one to each student, like-a-so:
Then, go through each day of creation and have them join in with manipulatives for (most of ) the days. Here's an example in order:
DAY 1 - Let there be light! Glow bracelets make a great item for this.
DAY 2 - Water above and below. A big blue tarp (fade in places... looks sort of like water!). In a group setting, if you use masking tape around the tarp's perimeter (do this during your ser-up beforehand), it helps with having enough room for your kiddos.
DAY 3 - Land and plants. Green play-doh for the land and plastic trees for the plants. Wal-mart sells individual little tubs of specific colors for about $1 each. Or, you can buy a set and just combine the blue and yellow (it works best with a bit more yellow than blue, say 1.5 or 2 parts yellow to one part blue). You can get plastic plants as extras in a lot of play sets (army men, etc.), or Safari Ltd. makes TOOBs (available at Michael's and Hobby Lobby stores) and there is a tree TOOB out there, though no guarantee it'll be at either of those stores. Also, a single strand piece of some sort of greenery from Hobby Lobby could be cut up into lots of 'plants.'
DAY 4 - Stars, sun, moon. Christmas lights above their heads? Fun.
DAY 5 - Birds and water creatures. If you're working with a mid-to-large sized group, Target sells a couple of tubs of 'Terra' brand animals (one is sea-life, one is jungle creatures, and one is dinosaurs). Michael's has a TOOB of 'prehistoric sea life' that is pretty cool, just to add flavor. Smaller groups and homeschool students would probably do best just to purchase one of those TOOB's or get something at the Dollar Store (so you're not overbuying massive numbers of critters to clog up your house). Put your sea creature (or bird) beside the island...
DAY 6 - Land animals. Again, Target stores and their 'Terra' brand tubs. TOOBs also work. Also, dinosaurs are neat-o. Put your animal ON your island!
DAY 7 - REST! Lay down beside your model (large groups: carpet squares are always semi-comfy solutions from your local carpet outlet. Homeschoolers or small groups: get a sleeping bag or a pillow!). Review the verse... God made creation to be GOOD prior to the Fall!
After all that work... the kids LOVE to play with their creations!
