It’s also important that we slow down and help our kids really absorb some of the central stories of the Bible.
God’s sovereign creation of the earth and everything in it is one of those stories.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. – Genesis 1:1, ESV
7 Days of Creation
There are so many fun ways to teach kids about the days of Creation. In fact, I have a bunch of great resources for you right here at Thinking Kids. (Find some fun Creation crafts and activities here.)
The 7 days of Creation are important. Through the days of Creation, we learn about God’s sovereignty, his commission of humans over the earth as stewards, and we see God’s plan for humanity. It is during the Creation story that we learn of the human sin nature and witness the fall of man–which dooms creation as well.
Those truths are an important part of our understanding of the gospel–the good news of Jesus Christ. It is because we see our need for a Savior that we can understand God’s great plan for salvation as he lays it out in the rest of Scripture.

Color Numbers Printable
Sometimes it’s a good idea to have fun Bible printables available to help you teach the Bible to your kids, either to coordinate with what you’re learning at the moment, or for those days you just need a plan B (or C… D… you know the days).
These 7 days of Creation color number printables fit the bill.
As your kids color each page, they’ll have time to consider God’s careful plan for his creation. Plus, there are fun activities on each page! Just head on over to grab your free printables!

Teach Kids About Life in the Womb
Wonderfully Made is a science- and Scripture-filled picture book for kids ages 5-11. The book is told from the perspective of a mother telling her child about his or her development in the womb week-by-week. In fact, Wonderfully Made is written to help parents meet the theological, scientific, and relational purposes of teaching kids about life in the womb.
Introduce young children to the wonder of God’s creation – the wonder and miracle of birth. From conception in the womb through the nine months within the mother’s womb Danika Cooley takes us on a journey of discovery… the discovery of life.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13
