VBS Decorating Ideas

VBS Decorations and Backdrops

Have you ever stayed up all night making decorations or painting backdrops for your Vacation Bible School? If you have been there and done that, you know that the rewards are great but finding the time and talent are another story. You might want to consider premade VBS decorations and backdrops. In addition to saving your time and sanity, these decorations can be stored and used again.

Pandamania Craft Idea - Jungle Drums

Jungle Drum Craft

Make individual drums out of empty oatmeal containers. This craft can also double as a carrier for the kids to take smaller items home - just don't tape the lid at the top.

Supplies:

• Empty Oatmeal Container (wipe inside clean)
• Brown or white paper cut 7 1/8" x 13" **
• Masking tape or glue
• Markers or crayons

Instructions:  Use masking tape around the top to secure the lid to the drum (if you want the drum to double as a container, skip this step). Cut the paper to size and either glue or tape it to the drum. Let the kids decorate the drums. It might be easier for the kids if you have them decorate the paper first and then adhere it to the drum. Either way will work.
** I used a generic brand of oatmeal container, measure to be sure the size is the same and adjust if necessary.

Sunday School Object Lessons

Sunday School Object Lessons

ChristianCrafts.net is much more than a craft site; we have added object lessons for you to use in your Sunday School classes. There is nothing like using something familiar to make a life lesson more memorable. For example, think of Jesus' parables. He used situations familiar to his listeners to help them understand unfamiliar concepts. We will have lots of lessons in the weeks to come so bookmark our object lessons page at Sunday School Lessons and check back often for new lessons. To automatically receive updates right in your e-mail box, sign up for our newsletter and get updates. As an added incentive, we give away one free craft book a month to e-mail list subscribers.
