WCC Kids at Home: August 2

TAKE A PICTURE

WHAT YOU DO: Have your child assist in making a decorated sign that says, “I am wonderfully made!” Take a picture of your child holding their sign and tag us in it on Instagram or Facebook.

WHAT YOU SAY: God made everyone, and He made us to be like Him! But, no two people are the same. God made us all in the most wonderful way. He created people with fingers, toes, ears, and eyes. He created them with legs, arms, a mouth, and teeth. God even gave us a brain to think and to learn! We can learn all kinds of things, like how to talk, tie shoes, read books, and ride a bike! God also made us creative like Him! God made you so very special, and He loves you very much!

I’M SPECIAL BECAUSE I’M ME

WHAT YOU NEED: Gingerbread Person (attached), crayons, or markers

WHAT YOU DO: Encourage your child to color the gingerbread outline to look like themselves. Encourage them to draw in hair, faces, and clothes. Remind them that our story today was about how God made you and me! God made all the people in the world, and He made us each wonderfully different. Some of us may have the same eye color or hair color, but none of us are exactly the same. God made everyone in the whole wide world. But, no two people are the same! God made us to learn, create, and help! God is amazing, and He made us to be like him!

Re-Create Creation

God created the world. Below is a breakdown of what God created each day as we see in Genesis. Read the list below and choose one that you can recreate with some craft supplies that you have handy (like paper, scissors, markers, crayons, or glue).

• Day 1: Night and Day
• Day 2: Sky and Sea
• Day 3: Land and Plants
• Day 4: Sun, Moon and Stars
• Day 5: Flying and Sea Creatures
• Day 6: Land Animals and Man

Know that God has created the world around you.

He Created All

“How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.” Psalm 104:24

Grab a piece of paper and a pencil and have an adult set a timer for two minutes. As the timer runs down, make a list of everything you can think of that God made.

Write the total number of items you listed here: ______

You could set a timer for another two minutes and come up with a completely new list of things God created. As our verse tells us, God made all things. There’s no limit to God’s creativity! Creativity is imagining what you could do because you were made in God’s image. It’s pretty awesome to think about the fact that the God who created everything on your list also created you. And He loves you more than you could possibly imagine.

Circle five of your favorite things on the list you created. Spend some time in prayer thanking God for those five things!
