You will need: brown and blue sheets or blankets or large pieces of paper; many items that would be in the sky or on the earth, such as airplanes, birds, plants, stars, the sun and moon, and stuffed animals.

Set out the brown and blue sheet. Place all the items in a big pile. Tell your child that the blue sheet is like the sky and the brown sheet is like the earth. Have your child sort out the items according to where they would be found. Tell them that God made the sky and the earth.
