How to draw the 6 days of Creation for kids - Part II
For the next several weeks we will share a number of step by step drawing
lesson/presentations for teaching children some important concepts about
Biblical creation.
Drawing skill level:
These presentations are designed to be very simple to draw so you don't have to be an artist to present them. They are also simple enough for kids to draw along with you on their own sheets of paper.
These lessons can be presented to an audience using an overhead projector, chalkboard, or markerboard.
The first presentation in this series is given to you in two parts. It is a simple method of teaching the order of the 6 days of creation so children (and adults too) will remember them. Click here to view the first lesson.
An accompanying animation demonstrates the drawing progression for this lesson.
Drawing tip for part II:
A different color marker would be nice for this half of the lesson. It's not necessary, but a second color makes it possible to separate what was made on the first three days versus the last three days of creation.
Don't reach for a new sheet, because we will continue to draw on the same page. The work we've done drawing Days 1-3 in the first half of this lesson has prepared us for what comes next in Days 4-6.
1. Day Four (Genesis 1:14-19)Move back to the top area of the page. Write a number 4 in the upper right corner of the top area. This is for creation Day Four. On Day Four, we will show four main things God created to place in space: Sun - Light bearer from that day on. Draw it on the light
side of the Earth. |

3. Day Six (Genesis 1:24 -31)Move to the bottom area on the page. Write a number 6 in the upper right corner of the bottom area. This is for creation Day Six. On Day Six, we will show God did two main things. * He created land animals - Draw a simple dinosaur (see animation) and a dog on the right side of the land area. Have the kids name examples of different kinds of land animals. Examples are: dinosaurs, lizards, cats, dogs, rabbits, deer, bear, sheep, cattle and elephants. * God created the first two people. A man (Adam) and a woman
(Eve). Stick people are fine to draw. You may want to draw them
behind a bush. If the kids have been drawing along with you on their own sheets of paper, it might be good to give them some time to draw in more animals on Days 5 and 6. At the end of Day Six, God looked at everything He had made and called it 'VERY GOOD'! Genesis 1:31 |
