Read, Color and Try the Matching Activity
On page 25, read Genesis 1:12 aloud and find the new seedling in Maya and Ben’s garden. Then try the seed-to-tree maze on page 26. Trace the route with a finger before choosing a crayon.
The story, verse and activity work together: notice how a plant grows, then talk about caring for one together.
A shared activity for children ages 5–8 with a grown-up. Use crayons or colored pencils on these double-sided pages.
A Closer Look
Watch the Pages

Look inside
A Verse. A Story. Something to Discover.
Meet Maya and Ben, two present-day learners who read, notice and respond. Biblical scenes, modern applications and cultural explanations are kept distinct.
Made for Time Together
Read a verse aloud, color the scene, then try its companion activity. Use crayons or colored pencils: both sides of the pages contain stories or activities. This is a selective journey through Genesis, with adult guidance for difficult passages.
