Western Theme Decorating

 

Decorating is a blast!  You want kids to be excited about coming to church.  Creating a cool theme environment hammers away at the notion that "church is boring"!  With a great theme, you'll cause children to be more comfortable at your church and eager to come back after Vacation Bible School is over.

Classrooms

If you've not found these yet, that's OK!  Scene Setters are THE ultimate room decorating solution!  Faith Headquarters has a huge selection of western scene setters and accessories including 5' Western Signs, Barn Shutters, Barn Siding, and more. 

 

You can decorate 50' of wall space up to 8' high for under $50.  This stuff looks amazing.  Instead of spending valuable hours creating your own Vacation Bible School decorations, you can pop these up in minutes. 

 

Leave them up after Vacation Bible School!  Use the western theme throughout the summer or year. 

 

Hang a Western Door Curtain in the doorway to prepare your kids for the fun waiting for them inside your room! 

 

Pick up some hay bales and set them up in each corner of your room as station centers or cover them with a Red & White Checkered Tablecloth icon for your children to sit on.

 

PLASTIC LONGHORN SKULL & PLASTIC WAGON WHEEL also make fun, budget-friendly decorations.  Don't forget to display Cowboy Hats & Bandannas as wall hangings or draped over furniture or hay.

 

Float COWHIDE 11 BALLOONS & DANCING BOOTS MYLAR BALLOON .  The Cowhide Balloons are fun giveaways for your preschoolers at the end of Vacation Bible School.  For an authentic "ranch" look, build a small fence with this soft, but realistic looking Barbed Wire Garland from Shindigz. 

 

 

Hallways

Make walking down your hallways an uplifting experience!  Create colorful banners to display on the walls that shout phrases like, "You're WANTED by God!", "God Loves You!", "You Can Do It!", "You're A Winner!". 

 

COWHIDE 11 BALLOONS & DANCING BOOTS MYLAR BALLOON are ideal outside each classroom and along the hallways.  Use an INFLATABLE CACTUS outside each classroom and label each with the appropriate age or grade for that room.

 

Snack & Craft Rooms

For your "chow time", cover your tables with a Red Bandana Tablecover.  With some pvc pipe and canvas drop cloth, you can create a super cool chuck wagon cover!  Bring in some fake Christmas trees to give your snack time a fun outdoor feel.  Add a fake campfire on the floor, hang "Stars" from the ceiling, and play some soft western music, and you've got the ultimate snack room!  

 

Missions Room

This World Map is perfect if you have a room dedicated to missions year-round or want to make an impact on your kids for the week of VBS.  It's a huge 9' x 13' map that will help you teach what God is doing throughout the world.  Use it as you lead children to pray for the unreached.

 

These World Flags will make them more aware of the Church in other nations and encourage your kids to make a difference for Christ all over the world.

 

Music Room

For an incredibly cool music room, add these decorations!  Use these 5' Musical Notes to bring excitement to your walls. 

 

For some inexpensive and fun props, check out these Giant Inflatable Microphones, and Band on the Run Kit.

 

Sanctuary/Worship Center

This room is where the big stuff goes!  At the center of the stage, create a large eye-catching centerpiece.  Try one of these ideas:

 

Shindigz has tons of big backdrops and decor items including OLD WEST MURAL , WESTERN STABLE , JAIL Standee & lots more.  If you have the budget and want something top-notch, order some of these, quickly before they go!

 

If like most of us, you're budget's pretty limited, you can get great ideas from them in order to build something like it yourself.

 

To make your stage look like a ranch, start with lots of hay.  Add saddles, blankets, rakes, and cowboy hats, as well.  For great photos of your kids and/or leaders, use these JAIL Standees and WANTED POSTER STANDEE Take a picture of the pastor and his wife behind one of these backdrops and display it for years to come!

 

Buy a large canvas drop cloths and paint your VBS logo on it.  To add your logo, attach the drop cloth to a wall, trace your logo from a transparency on an overhead machine set at the appropriate distance.  After you've traced the logo, paint it with an oil or water based paint.

 

Also:

*Hang cowboy and horse and posters on the walls.

*Make a giant horseshoe out of plywood to add to your backdrop.

*Decorate BIG with some large stage props from Shindigz.
