• • I an 1n en VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IS COMING: PART 2 Last month we considered Vision, Meeting Space, Methods and Materials. Thi month we would like to .place before you a few helps pertaining to Craft and Workers. IV. CRAFT Plan for your Junior High department to have ome craft projects that are for the future u e of the church. 1. Make a model Tabernacle to be u ed in any de– partment when teaching a les on pertaining to the Taber– nacle. 2. By using scraps of masonite cut out a five or six inch piece puzzle with large pieces to be painted dif– ferent colors for Toddler Nursery to use in the future. They should be painted a solid color on the back ( each different) so that each puzzle can be distinguished fron1 the rest. Hosiery boxes may be obtained from the local Dime store to become the holder for each puzzle. 3. A Peg Board to be used in the Toddler Nur ery can also be made by using scrap % in. ,plywood and "\ clothes pins. The prongs of the clothe pins hould be f cut off and holes bored into the plywood slightly bigger so the child can put the pins into the hole . The board should then be painted, cardboard pasted on the back and the Pegs painted in three color or more, for de ign for the children. (Men of the church could prepare the , Masonite sawing and hole boring before V.B.S. and leave l the painting for the Junior Highers.) 4. At almost any dime tore or where pla tic win– dow shades are sold you can obtain cut off scraps of plastic (from 5 to 10 inches). The e can be cut and formed into books and then paste Beginner picture from Sunday School papers ( or stories). Donate the e al o to n :: the nursery. r> 5.
