I'm in charge of crafts this year for our VBS. We have a western theme. There will be two "big" crafts. One for preschool and one for K-6. I need ideas???
Are you doing Saddle Ridge? We are. I'm the crafts teacher, and I'm planning to doll up the horse clipboard in the back of the book. Have you looked at www.daniellesplace.com for ideas? They have VBS crafts, plus all kinds of regular crafts.
Here are some cute things. They are kits, but maybe you could come up with versions you could easily make without a kit? http://www.makingfriends.com/western_crafts.htm
Yes, it's saddle ridge. I looked at making a tin punch luminary, but I'm worried about the inside of the can being sharp. Thanks for your ideas.
We made stick horses out of tube socks for our rodeo. They were wonderful. The kids did 80% of it, but I wouldn't let them use the glue gun. The parents and kids loved them. They were such a hit, I made them for Christmas gifts for nieces and nephews.
