Full age-graded instructions and/or scripts for each of four Activity Stations, which each age group (Junior, Primary, and Kindergarten) will experience in rotation each day:

Creation Health Station Children learn how to take care of their amazing bodies, created by God on the sixth day of Creation Week.
Creation Discovery Station Children get active exercise while discovering fascinating facts about each day of creation.
Creation Craft Station Children unleash their own artistic creativity. Each craft will be a take-home reminder of the day of Creation studied that day.

An audio CD with piano accompaniment for each of the three new songs, plus a recording of children actually singing the songs. Here is a sample of the music.

Testimonials:
My church just finished "The Creator Is My Friend" program for VBS. I led the Creation Discovery Station.... I had a tremendous amount of fun with [it] and the children enjoyed it immensely while learning so much. All had an experience they will long remember. We couldn't have been more pleased with the materials. Thank you for giving us a great foundation for our VBS.
Absolutely the best of the VBS programs we have used.
Both kids and adults learned a lot.
Well put together.
This is the first year that we can use a program comfortably from start to finish.
