I’ve been looking for VBS decorating ideas and wanted to share what I’ve found so far. I wanted to get maximum wow, but not make the decorations a big hassle. Plus our church didn’t have too much money for Bible school theme decoration this summer.
The best place to get fresh ideas is on popular Vacation Bible School forums. Each of the following websites have many thousands of active users who share ideas about VBS. These links will take you directly to the decorating sections. Some forums may require free registration, but it is well worth the time.
- Outrigger Island and Cactus Canyon can be found on the LifeWay VBS forum site.
- Crocodile Dock and Avalanche Ranch and Rome VBS Decorating ideas can be found on the very active Vacation Bible School forums from Group Publishing.
- Son Rock decoration ideas are available on the Gospel Light VBS forum site.
- Studio Go decorating tips can be found on the Standard Publishing forum site for VBS.
