We have kid from 9 and up to 16 and these crafts are great for smaller children but does anyone have ideas for the older kids ? This is for VBS
Looking for the same thing. I teach gds. 5-8 craft time and normally come up with my own ideas but this year seems to be more challenging. Perhaps I will do the sand art and the tissue paper pic but the rest seem to young. Also toying with the idea of allowing them to make their own iron on decals for t-shirts with the Roar theme in mind. Have to investigate that one further. share any ideas you get, please. Thanks.

We are doing bleach stencil tshirts there easy and safe for all ages. We are also doing an animal print wood cross, got the crosses from Guild Craft.
