Dayspring Baptist Church, Waco, TX Several years back for Vacation Bible School our church took our children on a trip through the 1st Century city of Rome where we learned about Paul and the Underground Church." In the process we created a lot of Greco-Roman Décor, and found a lot of inspiration both from groups who had done this program and the similarly decorated Athens Holy Land Adventure. I wanted to pass on the great ideas we learned about for others who might be doing the same programs, a piece of Greek or Roman theater, or a wedding or party with this theme. You will find some creative and inexpensive decorating ideas below. 3 Dimensional Columns Columns are essential to Greco-Roman décor, and three dimensional columns are, I think, the most stunning way to go. Where to Buy 3D Columns We invested in two large 12' cardboard columns (pictured above) and have used them over and over for different Holy Land VBS (not just Rome, but for Pharoah's palace in Egypt, and the Synagogue in Nazareth and Galilee). Large columns like these can make for a very dramatic effect. You can find similar ones at Stumps Party Supply. For shorter columns you can find a nice selection at Oriental Traders for a good price, but be warned to leave lots of time for delivery (shorter columns are also not difficult to make, which of course is even cheaper...see below for various methods). If you do not have a good place to store columns for use in future years, you may want to consider renting columns from a local wedding/event service. Poster Board Use Poster Board and Pizza Boxes This one seems super simple and inexpensive! A pizza place might be willing to donate some clean, unused boxes (especially if you also bought lunch for volunteers there)! You could use corregated cardboard for a ribbed texture and a little more support (our columns for our intro picture were made like this, with foam "crests" in stead of pizza boxes. Make them With Cardboard Tubing You can use carpet tubes (what carpet comes rolled around) for thin columns. Places which sell carpet are often happy to donate these. For thicker columns you can buy construction tubes (also known as building tubes, cardboard concrete forms, and Sonotubes). You can find these individually at home improvement stores, but from what I've seen they only smaller ones (48" long or shorter). There are several manufacturers that sell longer full column length ones, but generally only in bulk. You could possibly contact a local construction company and see if they would sell or donate some in smaller quantities. Use Building Tubes, Pots, and Plaster Decorative Faux-Stone Column - Shorter but very realistic. I've seem people use plastic pots with molded edges for some very decorative molding...same idea though. Use Building Tubes, Pool Noodles, and Foam Board DIY Network shows you how to make faux stone columns...very realistic looking. Pool noodles are a more pricey material, but if you can buy them out of season (at the end of summer, early fall clearance sales) they cost less. Very Realistic, Structural Method With Tall Building Tubes The blog Tootsie Time shows how she made permanent columns for her home. They are beautiful. Use Textured Wallpaper to Add Ridges Once you have a base (see above) you can use textured wallpaper to add ridges. I got this idea from Jennifer Hosler. She used Easy Textures Paintable Wallpaper (Pattern No 99424F) to cover a carpet tube column. I didn't find that exact one but I found a similar style by another brand here. "Warren" Method of Constructing Columns Kate Taylor Warren and her husband shared the following method they came up with to make columns like you see above. Inside each column is a 90" heavy cardboard carpet tube. Each has a 2-3 foot wooden fence post fit snugly inside and screwed to a 20" board as a horizontal base. The part of the column you see is five sheets of under-wallpaper insulation cut in lengths that circle around to make a 20" diameter cylinder. A construction stapler was used to staple them to the carpet tube in the back. The material they use, found in a DIY store where wallpaper is sold, consists of a very thin layer of polystyrene bonded to a layer of heavy brown paper. It pops out easily to hold its shape when circled and stapled, and is easy to paint. Kate Warren and her husband are in England, so I'm not sure whether the same material is available here in the States, but it would be worth checking into. They measured the "stripes" on the individual sheets and marked them so they could be painted before assembly on the carpet tube. This was an easier and safer way to paint--no climbing ladders and trying to get straight lines painted. The columns are set on squares of stryofoam (called polystyrene in the UK). The cornice (or pediment) is not resting on the columns but is suspended from the ceiling. Otherwise it would be rather unstable. Pool Noodle Columns Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Houston, TX Photo by Marian Seidel You can find full step by step instructions on how to make pool noodle columns here also (though it was for a more permanent feature, so had some steps you could skip for VBS). Here's some in-process pics shared by Marian Seidel of Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Houston, TX. (She's still in the in process phase so I don't have final pics right now). 1. You start with cardboard carpet roll tubes for a base. 2. Cute pool noodles in half lengthwise with exacto knife (to make two parts like celery sticks, not two shorter pool noodles). 3. Put foam into noodle like you would put cheese whiz on the celery stick, and press onto roll. 4. Use 3 nails, one at the bottom, top and middle to secure. 5. Trim as necessary. (Save pieces...see #6) 6. Make a stand (sorry, I don't have instructions on how to make stands, but you can see some examples there. I believe there is a stick or in the middle that you just drop the carpet tubes onto). Use extra pool noodle pieces and/or foam to stuff into carpet tubes to stabilize. 7. Paint TIP: If you're planning this long in advace you can save money if you buy pool noodles out of season (at the end of summer, early fall clearance sales). Corrugated Plastic Columns You can use sheets of corrugated plastic (PVC Roofing) either to make freestanding columns, or to wrap around posts and other features. While pricey, this method has the benefit of being weather resistant, so is great for outdoor features. You can find this type of sheeting at most hardware stores. You can see one of these types of columns in the background of picture to the right. Thanks to Rebecca Edwards for this picture. Dayspring Baptist Church, Waco, TX Another church used these to make the following.... Photo and instructions by Ruthann LaMoreaux Litchford HOW TO MAKE COLUMNS/PEDIMENT The pediment is the triangular roof on top MATERIALS 12 ft white pvc roofing panel (corrugated plastic), cut in half to 6 feet; Heavy duty scissors or snips (1) 4x8x2 foam insulation board, white (1) liquid nails tube (& caulk gun) (1) roll white duct tape (1) bread knife or box cutter (4) Wooden Chop Sticks TO MAKE COLUMNS 1. Cut panel into (2) 6ft pieces using heavy duty scissor or snips and duct tape into tubes. 2. Score and snap insulation board into squares for column bases - for each base I cut (1)13x13" & (1)11x11" & (2)6" circles. Use liquid nails to adhere these into a stack. 3. Once dry assemble column onto one base and slide a second base on top. 4. Using remainder of insulation board score & snap a large triangle along with enough framing to surround it. (The one pictured used 6ft wide base x 2 ft high triangle. Bottom framing board was 11" wide to sit securely on column topper. Side framing pieces were 5 or 6" wide.) 5. Miter the corner edges with a knife/cutter. Liquid glue it all together. Dry 24 hours. 6. Use a poster or any signage you want to fill in the center. 7. Place pediment onto columns and push chop sticks through into column base for attaching. Score, snap, glue, chop stick. Done. TIP: How to Create Depth If you are making a colonnade on a stage you can create depth and and add an illusion of a larger scene by starting with taller columns and then using descending smaller columns, set at an angle like the picture on the right... continuing the colonnade with a backdrop with painted columns at the back. In the following picture you can see the angling technique (though I don't know whether their columns decended in size). (I got this idea and the drawing in this section from cdevries, who writes a number of wonderful articles on theater design. It was from a section on 3 More Ways to Improve Your Theater Set about creating depth. The picture above is from Faith Baptist Church. Used with permission.) 2D Colums Picture by Mindy Love Harper Flat paper columns are simple and inexpensive. You can draw them on butcher paper or posterboard (for thicker, more reusable affect) or order pre-made ones online. I love how Trinity Presbyterian Church of McKinney, Texas used simple paper columns and a roof to frame the doorway to "Paul's House." While it takes a little drawing skill, it doesn't look unreasonably hard, and yet is very effective in transforming this from just another room to a house in Athens. And, if you prefer to avoid drawing/painting it yourself, here are several paper column options I found online (click pictures to find on Amazon)... Semi-3D Columns For a semi-three dimensional look try one of the techniques below. Foam Board Columns Dayspring Baptist Church, Waco, TX We carved foam board with a hot knife and painted the indentations grey to make these columns. Then we put them up in front of some pretty party paper to cover up a wall sculpture you see peeking out of the top there. I believe the paper we used was flat, but the only paper with the same design I was able to find now online was this corrugated version (which is probably more expensive than what we used, but would offer more stability). Cardboard Column "House" Photo by Michelle Robeson La Flamme This structure was made out of a VERY LARGE box. It has plaster on it which gives it the column texture. I like that a person could actually get IN this columned house. View More Column Decor See More Rome VBS Posts This post includes a few Amazon affiliate links through which I can earn a commission.

Judging by the preview pages on the website, Let's Make Some Great Art by Marion Deuchars looks like an absolute must-buy.
We've definitely been feeling a little frazzled here between the hot and humid weather, a sick toddler, and several days cooped up in the house. Luckily, kicking off our dinosaur week is proving to be a great distraction. Dinosaur books are something I've been collecting for a while now, so we officially kicked off the week by reading several different dinosaur books. Later this week we'll be creating a dinosaur bone excavation, and while I had planned on creating the bones, I realized it would be much more fun to get Big Brother involved. Homemade Dinosaur Bones These homemade dinosaur bones were easy to make and are proving to have more than one way to use them. First I made up a batch of basic salt dough. Mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup water and stir until almost fully mixed. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Before we got to work we reread Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones by Byron Barton. With bold, colorful illustrations and simple descriptions the book tells how scientists find, dig, move, and reassemble dinosaur bones. We also looked through a handful of other books for a few ideas of what dinosaur bones might look like. We did not plan on creating bones with a specific dinosaur in mind (although with older kids this would be a really fun challenge.) Instead we worked on creating the pieces we were interested in. Even Daddy got involved on this project and worked on creating a few pieces. Our pieces ranged from claws and teeth, to backbones, and more. Big Brother even got excited about creating some dinosaur eggs. We filled one large cookie tray with bones and another small one. We then baked the pieces in a 250 degree fahrenheit oven for about 3 hours. When they were done baking we let them cool on the pan. We then carefully collected them into a container. I intended that we would set the bones aside to use later in the week, but Big Brother had other ideas. He quickly took the box and started using the bones as building materials. He worked to create different dinosaur skeletons for quite a while. Inventive and unique building play!

Archeological Painting: T-rex Discovered Here is another really simple and fun dinosaur themed craft suitable for a preschooler or a tot-schooler. It is basically painting a crayon resist drawing with watercolor paints and making it dinosaur themed to go along with our unit study. The boys had so much fun painting and I was really surprised at how careful both of them were. You can print out your own dinosaur skeletons to trace from my free printables availabe here. Preschool (or Tot-school) Craft Idea: Painting Dinosaurs and Dinosaur Bones Paper and pen or dinosaur coloring sheets Watercolor paints (Homemade works great!) Paintbrushes White crayons or oil pastels Print out some dinosaur coloring pages, or draw dinosaurs and/or their skeletons on some paper. Place a second sheet of paper over the coloring sheet, and trace the outline heavily with white crayon or oil pastel. Have the kids paint over the entire page with watercolor paints to reveal the dinosaur who was hiding there. The boys had lots of fun painting dinosaur skeletons and regular dinosaur coloring pages. I had thought this project was going to make a much bigger mess, but even Andrew (19 months) was really careful and there wasn't much mess from the paint. What little paint did get on their hands and the table washed off really easily. Painting regular coloring pages
