What you Need:

– Construction paper or Poster Board

– Painters Tape

– Scissors

SEE ALSO

How to Make:

Step 1

Grab your Construction paper or poster board and Cut each block as a Rectangle.

Step 2

Cut the tops of the rectangles with 4 sets of round tops like the LEGO image.

Step 3

Here is a hint to not have to do so much work! Only cut the round tops for those that you put on the top and are visible. The others are not necessary to cut since they won’t be visible to guests.

Step 4

Start at the bottom of the wall and place your bricks one by one side by side and then stacking with overlay as if you were really stacking LEGO’s. Using painters tape will help keep your poster board up and will keep your walls from getting pasty from the tape. This will also not take your paint off the walls!

Babe Ruth Birthplace – Baltimore Orioles

I’ll be honest I do not know much about Babe Ruth other than a few basics, famous baseball player and world series! I do know a few more fun facts! I did not know that Babe Ruth’s birthplace is in Baltimore. There is a museum of his birthplace. Perhaps decorating half of your room with baseball gloves, bats and baseballs will be fitting. In the Decorations eBook files you get access to all of these as well as baseball player silhouettes that can be created in a large scale to place on the walls.

Paper Plate Turtle Craft Instructions

by

Below you will find step by step instructions on how to make a Paper Plate Turtle Craft. Great for an easy decoration for VBS 2016 – Submerged or as an alternative craft. Remember to ask your congregation for donations of green paper plates and green construction paper.

What you Need:

  • Green Paper Plates
  • Scissors
  • Green Construction Paper
  • Double Sided Tape or Glue
  • Fast drying liquid glue

How to Make:

  1. First get all your supplies together. If you are using this as an alternative craft for your VBS week I would suggest that you have all your arms and legs cut out. If you go from room to room make ziplock baggies with arms and legs and googly eyes and paper clip to a plate. This will make being able to give instructions and handing out your craft to each participant quicker.
  2. Cut out your arms and legs from Green Construction Paper. Quick Tip – Fold your paper in half and half again and cut multiple at a time, this will save time and energy.
  3. Take your glue stick or double sided tape and adhere your arms and legs to the back side of the paper plate.
  4. Take your four hexagon shapes and glue to the face part of the plate.
  5. Next you will take your googly eyes and use fast drying glue to adhere to the paper plate. Let sit and dry. You can always just use a black marker to make the eyes but the googly eyes just make it so much more fun.

That is it! You are done!

Are you a Slinky?

by

Yes, Yes you are! The hubby and I were listening to a podcast the other day and learned that our life is like a slinky!

Let me explain, If you take a Slinky and hold one end from your fingers while the other end expands to the ground until its at its resting space and then you let the top go, the bottom will not move, in fact it will hover in place until the whole coil colapses together and then it will all fall to the ground.

Neat huh? So how is this like our life. Well here you go. You only experience what is around you and what affects you. So if a person in China ate cheese you probably would never know, right? Yes because that person isn’t directly affecting you or crossing you path.

But if a person in China at cheese and filmed it and placed it on Youtube or any other social media it may cross your path and if you click and watch it then instantly that person has now affected your life!

Have I lost you yet? The example used in the podcast was if the sun was hit by something that caused it to diminish we wouldnt know until 8 mins and some seconds late because that is how long it will take for the affects of the sun to reach us. Unless something is very close to us then we may never know something has happened or existed.

So our lives are like a slinky!

Rushing Waters: Music Decoration Ideas #VBS 2015

by

I thought these were some awesome ideas but I haven’t had the chance to be able to make my own. However I did get a good find at a yard sale recently! There was a free box and in it had blue cellophane roll as well as brown packaging paper! So I got my rock/canyon and my waterfall all for FREE!

I just need some painters tap and some imagination.

We have two main entrances to the front of our sanctuary that leads into the hallway so I plan on creating that area into two waterfalls similar to the bottom right picture as seen above.

Below is the second one that is on our Children’s Wing main hallway. This was very simple I cut 8 8ft tall strips of butcher paper and crumpled it up. I use 1 blue plastic table cloth and cut long ways in 4 to make the water falls.
