[Linnis]

I teach at Vacation Bible school crafts and I also have my six year old nephew living with me and I need new craft ideas. Any would be great.

Thanks

Oh, if you could give ideas that don't need paint that would be even better.

STARS----whatch out its a little messy!

Things you will need:

• Different colors of paint
• marbles
• Paper to cut out shapes
• small cardboard box
• a bowl

How you do it:

1. Cut out the shapes.
2. Put each colors of paint in bowls. then add some marbles to each. Just depened on how many kids will be doing the activity.
3. Each child should get their own little box. you set the shape or shapes in the box.
4. No take the different colored marbles in to the box.
5. Then let the kids, go wild and move the box around so the paint will get over the paper shapes.

And walla, a fun craft.

Tips:

• You could use some clitter at the end.
• ribben to tape at the end of a star so it looks like a shooting star.

Linnis - I've got a Sunday School group just about the same age as your nephew. One of them LOVES to do anything w/ foam stickers - you can get tubs of them at wal-mart - I've even found one there of Noah's ark and foam paper too. They also have gotten a kick out of glitter gluing and stickers to decorate up picture frames too.
