What follows are pics of materials for a presentation on the first creation story in Genesis.  It begins with a piece of black felt on which I drew a triquetra - which has been presented previously - with Elmer’s school glue.  (In the beginning was the Word.)

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4: (stars, sun, moon)

Day 5: (sea animals & birds)

Day 6: (land animals and humans)

The child is also given the Scripture verses written out. 

To emphasise the importance of “reading” this particular story as a 2-part creation, I wrote days 1-3 on one card, days 4-6 on the second, and day 7 on the third.  It is theologically essential, in my mind, to read this story as God laying down 3 spheres on the first 3 days (light, water & sky, land) followed by 3 days where God provides “rulers” of those 3 spheres.
