Creation Day 2

Today we are going to speak about Day Two of Creation.  It is found in Genesis 1:6-8.  I also did some video editing with youtube so let me know if you like the new video set up.  I will be planning with it more in days to come and also playing with the background.

Genesis 1:6-8

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

To make the Wave Bottle

Materials needed:  1 liter clear, plastic bottle,  vegetable oil, blue food coloring

Directions:   fill bottle 2/3 full of water.  Add a few drops of food coloring.  Pour in vegetable oil until about an inch floats on top of the water.  Cover bottle and seal with hot glue gun.  Show children how to move it to make waves.  If they shake it they can watch the ingredients separate. 

Writing Activities ~ Q-Tip Printing

Provide Q-Tips, baby oil in a shallow dish and plain paper (like photo copy paper).  The children print their names with these "cloud" pencils on the paper.  The baby oil makes the paper translucent.

Words to the Songs:

Open, Shut Them

Open, shut them, Open, shut them (cover your eyes)

Give a little clap!

Open, shut them, Open, shut them (cover your eyes)

God made light when it was black.

God Created

(sung to the tune of Frere Jacques)

God created! God created!

Night and day, night and day.

That was on the first day

That was on the first day

And it was good.  It was good.

God created! God created!

Sky and clouds, sky and clouds.

That was on the second day.

That was on the second day.

And it was good! It was good.
