Help with fun and easy craft ideas for a church kids camp!!!?
I am in charge of my church’s art program for our kids camp. There are kids ranging from 7-15.
Here are my four themes that I need to think up artistic/craft stuff for the kids to do in about an hour or less.
Day 1: Cleanness. . . I was thinking of making soap but cant find a good recipe that is kid friendly and doesn’t take a lot of time.
Day 2: The importance of right choices. . . a map? Esther?
Day 3: God’s promises???
PLEASE help! The camp is in 6 days!!!

Or you could make a “soap Bible”

Maybe for the importance of making right choices you could have the kids make finger puppets and put on a play illustrating the importance of making right choices.
For God’s promises maybe you could have them make a beaded necklace or bracelet and have each bead represent one of the promises.

Maybe give 3d origami a try? It’s really fun, that’s my hobby. You can go to youtube.com and type in the search box 3d origami. Pick any of them and all tutorials should keep you busy for a while. These take up a lot of time and patience, but if you get the hang of it, it becomes fun and rewarding.
Here’s an example:

If you don’t want to keep them, you can sell it for a lot of money, but you need to learn how to make the basic triangle piece for 3d origami and they have that on youtube too. You can use the money for the church something like charity, fund-raising. It’s a good way to have fun, work, and help your church.
Here’s a tutorial on how to make a triangle piece for the 3d origami:

I hope you give that a try. Go for it! If you need help on it, you can always let me know and I’ll try to help.
