It's that time of year again...and I'm really quite excited. I don't know what actually happened, but I've grown to love VBS week! It's tiring, and sometimes stressful...but I LOVE working with the kids! This year we did the Pandamania theme. This was the first year that the older kids did a rotation and I think it went very well for them. I've kinda always done a rotation with the little kids because they have to move to stay focused - if that makes any sense.
So, here is what my Preschooler Area looked lie:
Game and Activity Area (with the craft area to the left) |
Bible Area |
Attendance & Greeting Area |
Panda Buddy Spot (for anyone who needed a little more loving care...ie...time out) |
Craft Area with the weeks crafts. |
On our last day, we made those picture frames...see them...the last one on the right! Anyway, we made those picture frames and then I took a picture of each of my kids with this guy below!
God Loves YOU...and so do I! |
I think overall we averaged SEVENTEEN 3 & 4 year olds during the week. We sent the 5 year olds on up with the other groups upstairs. Though it is alot of work, I'm so glad we were able to do another year of VBS.
(on a side note, Nathan went to VBS with Cousins B & E in Salina. They also did the Pandamania theme and so it was fun to compare notes, crafts, etc. I can't remember the number K gave us now but our little number of 50 kids didn't compare to the something like 250 kids they had...LOL)
