Steps:
- To start, using any or multiple shades of blue, paint a paper plate. Be sure to cover the entire plate then set it aside to dry.

- Cut out your handprints and set them aside for later.

- Next, cut up multiple small squares of green tissue paper.

- Once the paint on your plate is dry, glue your small green tissue paper squares all over your plate.

- Your plate should now look like the earth with some green land areas and blue oceans.
- Lastly, glue your two handprint cutouts to your earth to make it look like it’s being held. This would be a great time to discuss with your kids how God created everything and He holds the whole world in his hands! After that, you’re done!
