Gods Wonderful Creation: You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!

Title: God’s Wonderful Creation: You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!

Props needed:
1. A large mirror
2. A set of various colorful construction paper cutouts (representing different body parts)
3. A puppet or a stuffed toy representing a child
4. A magnifying glass
5. Small sticky notes or stickers

Introduction:
Begin by gathering the children around a table where the props are placed. Start with a warm welcome and introduce the topic of how special each one of them is to God. Explain that you will use some props to help everyone understand this truth better.

Illustration:
1. Mirror Reflection:
Hold up the mirror in front of the children, showing them their reflections. Ask them to observe their faces, hair, and other features. Emphasize that each person is unique and wonderfully made by God in His image. Point out that they can see themselves in the mirror because God made them just as they are.

2. Body Parts:
Next, show the set of colorful construction paper cutouts representing various body parts. Lay them out on the table. Begin by picking up one cutout and asking the children if they can name the body part it represents (e.g., a hand, foot, eye, etc.). Allow the children to take turns picking up the cutouts and identifying the body parts.

Explain how our bodies are made up of many different parts, and each part has a specific purpose given by God. Discuss how every body part, no matter how big or small, is vital and important for us to function and experience life.

3. Puppet/Stuffed Toy:
Introduce the puppet or the stuffed toy representing a child. Explain that just like the puppet or toy, God carefully created each of them. Talk about how He thoughtfully designed every detail, including their eye color, hair texture, and unique features. Encourage the children to embrace their individuality, knowing that God loves them just the way they are.

4. Magnifying Glass:
Bring out the magnifying glass and explain that sometimes we need to take a closer look to appreciate the extraordinary details of God’s creation. Begin examining the different parts of the puppet/stuffed toy with the magnifying glass, highlighting details like fingerprints, freckles (if any), or the texture of their hair and clothes. Encourage the children to appreciate the intricate details that God has woven into their lives.

Conclusion:
Wrap up the illustration by distributing small sticky notes or stickers to each child. Instruct them to write or draw something they appreciate about themselves. Explain that they can use these notes as reminders of God’s love for them and His special design in creating them.

Conclude with a prayer, thanking God for fearfully and wonderfully making each child and asking Him to help them celebrate their uniqueness. Remind the children that they are precious in God’s eyes and encourage them to embrace and love themselves just as God does.

Note: Adapt the content and props based on the age and understanding of the young children.
