God Made Animals!

Child will create a fuzzy sheep craft using cotton balls
Child will express thankfulness to God for making special farm animals
“God said, 'Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;' and it was so. God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.”
— Genesis 1:24-25 (WEB)This passage shows us that God specifically created livestock and farm animals, and He was pleased with His creation of these special creatures.
Welcome to today's BibleMouse lesson! Let's start by remembering what we learned yesterday about God's flying birdies. Today we're going to discover some very special fuzzy friends that God made to live on farms!
Show your child the farm animal pictures or toys as you teach. God made so many wonderful animals! Some of His animals live on farms where people take care of them. Let's meet our fuzzy farm friends! God made cows that say 'moo' and give us milk. He made fluffy sheep that say 'baa' and have soft wool. God made strong horses that say 'neigh' and can run fast. He also made pigs that say 'oink' and love to roll in mud!
Your BibleMouse curriculum includes this delightful craft to help your little one remember that God made sheep with special fluffy wool! Together, you'll create a adorable cotton ball sheep while talking about how God designed each farm animal perfectly.
Simpler: Pre-draw the sheep outline and help guide little hands with the gluing process
Challenge: Encourage child to count the cotton balls or sort them by size before gluing
Look at your beautiful fluffy sheep! God made real sheep just as special as your craft. Let's thank God for making all our fuzzy farm friends. Tomorrow in our BibleMouse lesson, we'll discover some amazing jungle animals that God made - they're big, strong, and incredible!
Dear God, thank You for making cows, sheep, horses, and pigs. Thank You that each farm animal is special. Help us remember that You made everything! Amen.
Coming up: Tomorrow we'll learn about roaring lions and big elephants that God made for the jungle!
“God made everything!”
— Genesis 1:1 (WEB)🎯 Activity: Practice the memory verse while making farm animal sounds: 'God made everything!' (moo like a cow), 'God made everything!' (baa like a sheep), continuing with different farm animal sounds each time.
Farm animals were among the livestock God created on the sixth day. These animals have been companions to humans throughout history, providing food, clothing, and help with work. This lesson helps children see God's intentional design in creating animals that benefit people.
Some children may want to eat the cotton balls or may get overwhelmed with the gluing process
Watch for your child making connections between the animal sounds and the animals, and showing excitement about God making these creatures
