VBS with the 2 year olds

Another VBS has come and gone. This years theme was "Firm Believers in Christ". I taught the 2 year olds again this year. I had 6 kids each night. 2 year olds are a very challenging group to teach!! I had fun with them and I think they enjoyed their time at VBS too. Here are some pictures of each night. If you'll click on the collages you'll be able to see the pictures better!

Our first lesson during VBS was "Jesus Calms the Storm" I was able to reuse my boat from last year for this lesson so that was nice. We did several crafts for this lessons including toothpaste bags, ocean in a bottle, and a paper boat. The kids got cute little sailor hats to wear and ate blue jello and gold fish for their snack! It was a great start to VBS!


Our second night we talked about "Jesus Feeding the 5000". We made loaves and fish necklaces, baskets with loaves and fish, and ate fish sticks and rolls for our snack.


Our third night we talked about "Jesus Healing the 10 Lepers". This was a fun lesson. The kids got to stick spots on their skin, made several leper crafts and ate marshmallows (spots) and teddy grahams (lepers) for their snack.


Our last lesson was on "Jesus' Resurrection" My friend Sasha and I made a tomb for the kids to get in. They LOVED it! We also had resurrection cookies/buns for our snack. My friend Kim found this recipe and made these for my class and hers. They were really neat. You wrap a marshmallow in a crescent roll (tomb is not empty) and then bake them. The marshmallow melts and leaves you with an empty "tomb"! Cool!!


We did lots of neat things this week and sang lots of songs to go along with our lessons. If you want to see some more of the things we did go check out my friend Becky's Blog! She puts different bible ideas on their fairly often. Kim and I add things sometimes too. I (and probably Kim) will be posting some things over the next few days with ideas we used this week at VBS! It's a very good place to find ideas for different bible lessons. Check it out!!
