This year I decided to do something different than the creation quilt for our Loving God stepping stone. (It was way adult-helper intensive last year.) It was fun and the kids loved it - but, I've got 9 Pathfinders now instead of the 3 I did this project with previously.
At VBS this summer, I did a creation craft with the kids that I thought would be PERFECT for our Pathfinders: I-Spy Creation Bags.

I brought 4"x 6" sealing baggies from Hobby Lobby, thick masking tape, and rice as well. Don't over-fill the bags, they need to be able to move the rice around to find all the items within. The masking tape is to cover the ends of the sealed baggie so no little hands "accidentally" open their I-Spy bag.
We went through each day of creation (them reminding me what God made that day) and they each got to pick their item to put in their bag. They loooooooved it! At the end, we wrote the girls' names on the masking tape section so we'd know whose was whose.
