Introduce craft: What did God make the second day? The sky. We are going to make a sky as well.

Need: White crayons, blue watercolor paint.

Directions: Have students draw clouds with the white crayon and color white. Then have the students paint the blue watercolor paint over the clouds that they drew. The wax in the crayon will not allow the paint to cover the white clouds. This makes a realistic sky.
