How do you teach your children about creation? We sometimes make this challenge more difficult than it really is.

You simply introduce your child to the Creator of the universe.

Nobody wants to drop money in a pocket only to later find that it slipped through a hole and was lost. Whether we’re dealing with pockets, purses, or pots, I think we’d all agree that containers that don’t hold things are useless. They don’t fulfill the purpose they were created for.
