Genesis chapter 1 records the events that occurred on days 1-6 of the Creation Week. The seventh day is also included here for convenience.
Sew the Betty Lukens page onto the background felt along three sides, leaving the top edge open to form a pocket. Pop the pieces inside the pocket (or better yet - play with them)!
I have discovered that the days of creation, aside from being literal, are actually a prophecy of the Earth's history and coming events.
Day 1 - God created light and separated light from darkness
Millennium 1 - Adam and Eve chose between light and darkness
Day 2 - God separated the waters above and below with a vault (the sky)
Millennium 2 - The Flood occurred
Day 3 - God made dry ground to appear, and vegetation grew on the land
Millennium 3 - God made dry ground appear for the Israelite's to cross the red sea after the Exodus, and the Earth was re-populated after The Flood. David is promised a descendant who will be a branch...
Day 4 - God created the greater light and the lesser light (sun and moon) and the stars
Millennium 4 - Jesus was born and lived (the Sun of Righteousness), announced by John the Baptist (the moon), and the earlier part of this period was characterized by the prophets (perhaps represented as the stars) or perhaps Abraham's descendants have now become a nation and are now as numerous as the stars).
Day 5 - God filled the water and sky with birds and fish
Millennium 5 - The Gospel went to the gentiles
Day 6 - God made the animals and Adam and Eve
Millennium 6 - The Gospel continued to go to the gentiles, and perhaps the second Adam (Jesus) will return (my guess is at the edge of the 6th and 7th Millenniums).
Day 7 - God rested
Millennium 7 - God will provide rest for His people during the thousand year respite/Sabbath in Heaven (after which we return to Earth - re-created for our eternal home).
It's pretty cool when you start recognizing patterns in the Bible and find something like this.
Anyway, if you want some great scientific evidence articles (journal, lay and children's) regarding the young Earth and literal days of creation, you can find some great stuff at Creation.com and Answers in Genesis.
Memory Verse: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1.
Materials needed to create the Days of Creation quiet book page:
- A4 felt background sheet. I used black.
- Betty Lukens Felt book 01 Bible Stories available at Koorong (not an affiliate link).
- sewing thread to best match the page
- scissors!
Cut out all the pieces for this page and the page itself from the Betty Lukens set. The Betty Lukens FAQ section has posted a cutting tips PDF.
Sew the Betty Lukens page onto the background felt along three sides, leaving the top edge open to form a pocket. Pop the pieces inside the pocket (or better yet - play with them)!
Finished!
Difficulty Level = Easy, plus No Sew version.
A very easy quiet book page!
Just use hot glue wherever sewing is recommended for a no sew version.

Genesis 1Devotional
There are heaps of patterns in the days of creation. The most basic is that in the first three days God creates a space, and days 4-6, He fills those spaces. There are lots of other patterns too, such as numbering some days by their cardinal numbers, and others by their ordinal number. Such an interesting study.I have discovered that the days of creation, aside from being literal, are actually a prophecy of the Earth's history and coming events.
