TODAY IS THE DAY! On Day 6 of Creation God went creative crazy and filled the earth with the immense amounts of animals and began to put humans on Earth! As a creative person myself, I like to imagine how much fun God had on this day! I look at all the crazy animals and imagine God saying, “I’m going to combine the marking of a zebra, body of a horse, neck and face of a giraffe and make a new animal!” Can you guess it? An Okapi is what we call that animal nowadays!

But I think God had EVEN more fun creating us. The uniqueness of facial features and the differences of personalities, the options were endless. I love the fact that even though we are all so different, we are still ALL made in HIS image! A crazy concept to wrap my head around but I love it!

Have so much fun with this day! Repetition is key, anytime throughout the day you can bring up the idea that God created you or you’re made in God’s image, do it!

On Week 2, I mention a Mr. Potato head toy. I know those can be few and far between in recent days (much less having all the pieces!) so another option is to have a large piece of paper with the start of a body and have each child take a turn drawing to add a piece of the body.
