A Sunday School question

For the last three weekends I have been teaching holiday Sunday School. I take my hat off to the people who teach Sunday School every week, because it's a lot of work, especially those suggested "visual aids". The class I taught was 5-9 year olds, which is a bit difficult because you have kindergarten kids through to year 4. So the kindy kids can be struggling to sit still and cut things out while the year 4 kids are often way beyond it. Still, even though I don't have a whole lot of theological training I thought I would be able to handle their questions. So, the other week we did the Fall (Genesis 2-3) and I had an interesting time trying to write the story to communicate the point of it and not get lost in apple trees and snakes etc. I'd finished the story and one girl raises her hand with a scrunched up look on her face and says:

"But I thought no-one had ever seen God so how could he be walking in the garden with them?".

Twelve little faces are looking at me. Buying some time I said:

"Well that's a very interesting question, and you're right that no-one has ever seen God" ... mind floundering through all the possible ways to answer this, till I had a great flash of insight ... "and maybe you can ask your Dad!".

Anyone out there want to have a shot at how you'd answer an eight-year-old with that one?
