To Mars And Beyond Vbs Craft Ideas
If you're planning a Vacation Bible School (VBS) with a space or science fiction theme, you'll need some craft ideas to keep your little astronauts entertained. Here are some out-of-this-world craft ideas that will take your VBS to Mars and beyond.
1. Rocket Ship Paper Craft
One of the most popular VBS craft ideas is to make a rocket ship out of paper. All you need is some construction paper, scissors, glue, and markers. Cut out a rocket ship shape from the construction paper, then let the kids decorate it with markers. You can also add some glitter or stickers to make it more fun.
2. Solar System Necklace Craft
For a more hands-on craft project, try making a solar system necklace. You'll need some beads in different sizes and colors to represent the planets, and some string or cord to string them together. You can also add some star-shaped beads or charms to make it more festive.
3. Moon Rock Painting Craft
Another fun VBS craft idea is to make moon rock paintings. You'll need some smooth rocks, acrylic paint, and some paintbrushes. Let the kids paint the rocks with different shades of gray and brown to make them look like real moon rocks. You can also add some glitter or sequins to make them more sparkly.
4. Alien Headband Craft
If you want to get even more creative, try making some alien headbands. You'll need some green or purple construction paper, scissors, glue, and some pipe cleaners. Cut out some alien head shapes from the paper, then let the kids decorate them with markers or stickers. Attach the pipe cleaners to the back of the headbands to make the antennae.
5. Space Shuttle Balloon Craft
A fun and easy VBS craft idea is to make a space shuttle balloon. Inflate a white balloon, then use a black marker to draw the windows and other details on the balloon. You can also add some fins and a tail to make it look more like a space shuttle.
6. Galaxy Slime Craft
If your VBS kids love slime, try making some galaxy slime. You'll need some clear glue, liquid starch, and some glitter in different colors. Mix the glue and starch together, then add the glitter and mix it again. You can also add some food coloring to make it look like the galaxy.
7. Planet Mobile Craft
For a more advanced craft project, try making a planet mobile. You'll need some foam balls in different sizes to represent the planets, and some string or fishing line to hang them from. You can also add some stars and other space-themed decorations to make it more fun.
8. Blast Off T-Shirt Craft
A fun way to commemorate your VBS is to make some blast off t-shirts. You'll need some white t-shirts, fabric paint, and some stencils or templates. Let the kids paint their own designs on the t-shirts, such as rockets, planets, or stars.
9. Rocket Ship Pencil Holder Craft
For a practical VBS craft idea, try making some rocket ship pencil holders. You'll need some empty toilet paper rolls, construction paper, glue, and markers. Cover the toilet paper roll with the construction paper, then decorate it with markers to look like a rocket ship. You can also add some fins and a tail to make it more realistic.
10. Starry Night Sky Craft
Finally, for a more artistic VBS craft idea, try making a starry night sky painting. You'll need some black construction paper, white paint, and some glitter. Let the kids paint the paper with the white paint, then sprinkle some glitter on top to make it look like stars. You can also add some moon shapes or other space-themed decorations to make it more interesting.
With these craft ideas, your VBS will be a blast off to Mars and beyond. Let your little astronauts' creativity soar as they explore the wonders of space.
