In the beginning God created.....

 We began our unit on Gods creation this week in preschool.

 At the art center I put out circles of wax paper,tissue paper, and 

cups of liquid starch and brushes. First the kids tore the 

tissue paper into pieces as I talked about how on the  first day of creation 

God made the day and night. Next we painted

 the circles with the starch while we talked about things we do at night 

and things we do during the day. After they covered their

 circles with the starch they added black and white tissue paper.

I encouraged them to gently brush the tissue with more  

starch and lay more layers of tissue on the circle. 

 The second circle we covered in shades 

of blue and green tissue to make the"earth" as we 

talked about how God created the earth and everything in it. 

After they had dried I punched a hole and added a ribbon

so the kids could hang their art work on the window as a reminder of 

Gods marvelous creation.
