Create a box where your little architects can keep their blue prints. Cover a cardboard box with wood print paper. Cut out a few individual wood boards and adhere them to the box, so it appears more realistic. Use a marker to write "Blueprints" on the front of the box and roll up sections of blue paper to insert them into the box as blueprints.
This idea really nails it! Create these oversized nails as a great prop for VBS or a classroom decoration. Carefully cut a pool noodle in half and wrap each half with silver duct tape. Glue two silver paper plates together and paint the bottom of the paper plate silver. Adhere it to the top of the pool noodle with hot glue. To make the oversized washers, cut a circle into the middle of a silver paper plate.
Help kids visualize building with these colored brick props! Start by covering a cardboard box with colored paper. Then carefully cut plastic cups in half using the ridges on the cups as a guide. Equally space cups and use a glue gun to adhere the cups of the box. These bricks would be a great piece of decor for a lego party too!

Transform your home, classroom or church into a artist's workshop with his fun prop! Start by taping the end of the plastic table cloth into the empty paint can. Then use clear fishing line to hang the can to the ceiling and cut the tablecloth to the desired length.
Amaze kids with these large paintbrushes! Spray-paint the bristles of a broom black. Cut a slit lengthwise into a pool noodle and insert the pole of the broom into the slit of the pool noodle! Wrap silver duct tape around the end of the pool noodle where the bristles and pool noodle meet. To make the paint bucket, wrap a large trash can in paper. Using the same colored paint as the trash can, paint drips onto the paper. See imaginations soar as you put this prop on display.
