What is creation?

Creation is when something new comes into being from nothing or from something else.

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. You start with no blocks, just an empty floor. Then you take one block and put it on the floor. That's creation! It’s like when you draw a picture, sing a song, or even grow taller, all those things didn’t exist before, but now they do.

Like Making a Sandwich

Creation can also be like making your favorite sandwich. You have bread, cheese, and ham in the kitchen. When you put them together, you make something new: a sandwich! That’s creation too, turning simple things into something special that you can eat.

Creation Happens All Around Us

You don’t need magic to create. When you build with blocks, draw, or even plant seeds, you’re creating just like the world does every day. The sun rises, the clouds move, and your favorite toys come to life, all because of creation!
