This bible story crafts for kids to make can also be called "The Creation Craft." The main purpose of Bible crafts for kids are to reinforce the Bible lesson. This is a crafts suitable for kids of all ages. The little kids will need help though, so be sure to have a few helpers on hand. In this bible story craft for kids we are going to plant a garden in a bottle to represent God's creation. The craft can be preceded by a reading of Genesis 1: 1 - 2: 3 and then the kids can be encouraged to partake in the making of a garden in a bottle. If the group is large it will be best to let the kids make more than one garden.

Afterwards they can take turns to give the garden a good spray every week. This will reinforce the lesson and we can also include a short lesson on the importance of caring for God's creation as He instructed us in Gen 2:15: "God took the Man and set him down in the Garden of Eden to work the ground and keep it in order."

What you need for this bible craft:

• First you need to get hold of a large jar with it's lid, the kind that you'll probably be able to get from a restaurant, make sure the opening is big enough to fit your hand in
• Some pebbles
• Potting soil from your garden center
• Small plants such as moss and ferns, you'll also be able to get these from your garden center
• Loose pieces of bark if you can find them (please do not tear them from a tree as this damages the tree!)
• A large spoon
• A spray bottle with water

Teacher's Prep:

• Wash the bottle and make sure it is completely clean.
• Prepare a suitable work area for the kids so as to prevent them from making too much of a mess.
• Make preparations for them to be able to wash their hands after the lesson.

How to do this Bible Story Craft:

1. Cover the bottom of the bottle with the pebbles.
2. Now spoon in the potting soil.
3. Decide on the arrangement of your plants and bark and carefully plant them in the bottle. Remember that plants need space to grow, so do not plant them too close to each other. Take your time with this, work carefully and make sure not to damage your precious plants.
4. Now you give the garden a good spray and cover the bottle with the lid. The lid will keep the moisture in but, it will still be necessary to give the garden a spray at least once a week.
