I’m so excited about this little project I get to share with you today! And just in time for Earth Day, too! It’s kind of hilarious because it has been a lonnnnng time coming. I started making these books with my students back in October and I JUST NOW sent the last one home. SHEESH. With 2’s, usually everything they do is lightening fast. They can bop from building with Duplos to eating 100 pretzels to tearing apart the kitchen center in about 14 seconds, but when it comes to projects like this, things are usually slow and steady. That and the fact that I didn’t know how to use the machine that puts the binding on books like this so they sat in my closet for about 3 months before I finally asked someone to help me because I needed the shelf space in my closet back. BWAAHAAAHAA!
*I got the inspiration for this book from The Preschool Experiment blog.*
It’s all very easy to put together. Before you begin, here are the supplies you will need…
- FREE Printables below
- Yellow and black construction paper, glue (page 1)
- Cotton balls, blue tissue paper squares, glue (page 2)
- Brown construction paper, green paint, green dot marker (optional) cut-out flowers, glue (page 3)
- Yellow crayons, stickers (page 4)
- Blue dot marker, bird and fish creation printable from HERE, glue (page 5)
- Person cut-out, animal stickers, glue (page 6)
- Blue paper circle, green tissue paper squares, red heart, glue (page 7)
As we worked on the different days of creation, I taught the kids the little song that is featured on each page. It is sung to the tune of, “Frere Jacques.”

Oh, this is so, so, SO cute! It’s just the project I’ve been looking for to do with my little girl. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Perfect timing! I just started this exact project with my co-op last week!! Same song and book idea…but of course yours is so much cuter!! Great minds think alike:)
Sooo cute, Julie! And true, too!
I love this idea. so precious!!!. how did you make into a book or where did you get the books
Hi Susan! I just used white cardstock for each page and then we used the binding machine that our school has, but staples would work fine, too – I’m sure! 🙂
Hi Julie, thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this cute Creation Story book printable! I have been needing to revamp my Creation Story activities and this is just what I needed! I love it! Thank you!
Thank you, Marie! I hope you use it and love it!! 🙂
What a neat idea — thank you for sharing! I had not heard the little song before, but I’m sure the children love it. I’m going to have to teach it to my little guy! 🙂
Thanks, Sheila! I hope you love it!
Just wanted to check back in and let you know we are really enjoying this! We are kind of doing our own “spin” on actually filling in the book, using things we have on hand. It is a great way to learn about Creation with the little ones! Thank you, again.
I was unable to print out the printable pages. It said it can not find the link.
Hey there! Sorry about that! I just launched my new site and some of my downloads got a little jumbled in the process. I think I fixed it and you can access it now! Thanks for your patience!
I could get the cover page, unfortunately, the other pages wouldn’t come up. I would love to make this in my Wednesday night class. Any ideas?
I just fixed it!!! I hope it works for you now. 🙂 THANK YOU!
Thanks so much! I plan on using this for my pre-school Sunday school class tomorrow. The will love it and so do I. Off to the store!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! Our toddler class starts next month at church and I’m excited to sharethis with them!
Thanks for these but I cannot open the second part for the pages? The cover page downloads and opens fine any advice?
Hello! I just fixed the link for you! I am so sorry about that!!
Corrected web link for the birds and fish printables is http://keepinglifecreative.com/creative-storytelling/the-creation-felt-story-set. The existing link does not work.
Thank you!
We absolutely loved this project! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is so precious! I used to assistant direct a church mdo program and before that was a teacher and 2’s are my FAVORITE! This makes me wish I was back in the classroom! I’m going to share it with my friends who still get to spend their days with the 2’s. Thanks for sharing it. I came here for the Bruschetta Chicken recipe from Pinterest and got distracted – your blog is great! 🙂
I have just taken over Children’s Church and we are going to start off this summer by studying God’s Creation in Genesis. This is an awesome resource and I can’t thank-you enough for offering it for free. You are very talented and kind!
