Looking for a fun way to teach children about God’s wonderful creation? This 7 Days of Creation Paper Chain Bible Craft is a simple, hands-on activity that helps kids learn what God created each day while practising colouring, cutting, and glueing.
Memory Verse – Genesis 1:1 (ICB)
“In the beginning God created the sky and the earth.”
Materials Needed for the Creation Paper Chain Craft
- Printable 7 Days of Creation paper chain template
- Crayons or colored pencils
- Child-safe scissors
- Glue or tape
- A Bible (Genesis 1–2)
Step 1: Colour the Creation Pictures
Begin by colouring the Earth, sun, clouds, and creation-day strips. Encourage children to use their favourite colours while discussing God’s beautiful world.
Step 2: Cut Out the Craft Pieces
Carefully cut out the main “God Made It All” picture and each paper strip along the cutting lines. Younger children may need adult assistance.
Step 3: Create the Seven-Day Paper Chain
Start with Day 1 and bend the strip into a loop. Secure the ends with glue or tape.
Thread the Day 2 strip through the first loop and secure it. Continue until all seven creation days are connected in order.
Remember what God created:
- Day 1: Light
- Day 2: Sky
- Day 3: Land, seas, and plants
- Day 4: Sun, moon, and stars
- Day 5: Fish and birds
- Day 6: Animals and people
- Day 7: God rested
Step 4: Attach and Display Your Creation Craft
Attach the completed paper chain to the bottom of the “God Made It All” picture. Hang it in your Sunday school classroom, homeschool space, or children’s bedroom.
Read Genesis 1:31 (ICB) together and remind children that God saw everything He created, and it was very good!
