New Thanksgiving Crafts

These Thanksgiving Crafts are made out of empty, recycled yogurt cups. They are not only cute but useful as napkin and cutlery holders. For complete instructions and free printouts, go to http://www.christiancrafts.net/thanksgiving-crafts.htm  If you are making these in a classroom setting, do the painting beforehand and let the kids decorate the rest.

Christmas Craft - Christmas Tree Tea Light Holder

This craft makes use of recycled Styrofoam cups. I found that acrylic paint worked very well but two coats were needed. You may want to do the painting ahead of time if you are working with younger children. They can just have fun decorating the tree.

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.
