Puzzles can be a great way for our kids to really think about words, passages, and meaning.
And, what is more important to meditate on than God’s Word? Nothing in this universe!
Creation Bible Study Moms Love…
The doctrine of Creation is so important for our kids to understand. We want our kids to know about God’s Creation ordinances. When our tweens truly understand what God’s Word says about Creation, they’ll know:
- That God created all things out of nothing.
- The biblical story of Creation.
- That God made them just as he intended to.
- All about our Creator God.
- About God’s good Creation gifts–his ordinances.
- God’s great plan for salvation.
It’s important that our kids know all about Creation. It’s also important that they understand how to study God’s Word rightly. As your children, ages 8-12, work through Bible Investigators: Creation, they’ll learn how to observe, interpret, and apply 40 Bible passages. With 6 units and 30 lessons, the 272-page Bible study will take your kids through everything they need to know about God’s Creation.
…in a Puzzle-Based Package Kids Crave!
Your middle grade and middle school students will love the challenge of working through 90 Bible puzzles. Bible Investigators: Creation will allow your kids to study the Bible independently, with language that’s fun. There are boxes for notebooking and drawing, too, so your kids can work through what they’re learning in a hands-on way.
As they work through the puzzles, your children will learn important biblical vocabulary, theological concepts, and even full Bible passages. It won’t feel like work to them, either.

God, the Creator of the Universe, gave you a great big letter from him to explore and study so that you can discover the truths that really matter to your life!”

The Bible author wants to remind you that nothing just magically appears. Everything has a creator.
For instance, have you ever been walking along, picking up acorns and leaves when—BOOM—a house just appears right in front of you? First of all, you’d probably be really glad you didn’t get squished by the mysteriously appearing house. But next, you’d wonder where that house came from. Who made it? How did it get there?
We all know that houses don’t appear out of nowhere. Houses are planned, designed, and built. In fact, building a house takes a really long time. Right?
