How do you handle snacks at your VBS? No matter what your routine, this VBS construction snack station idea will help keep you organized and streamline snack time. With these tips and ideas, you can easily create a handy snack station that makes a big impact on your construction themed VBS.
Begin building a snack station for your VBS by creating a table base. This is as easy as stacking a few wood pallets onto each other. Top the pallets with a piece of plywood to make a stable tabletop and finish with a Construction VBS Plastic Tablecloth.
To create different levels for your VBS construction snack station, turn DIY Wood Flower Box Centerpieces upside down. This creates the perfect perch for snacks and goodies.
Line DIY Large Silver Tin Pails with waxed paper and then fill them with all sorts of fun goodies including Tool-Shaped Lollipops, Frosted Street Sign Lollipops, pretzel rod 'rebar' and chocolate frosted mini donut 'muddy wheels'.
Add an interactive element to your VBS snack station by making a build-your-own pudding dirt cups area. Line Small Square Storage Baskets with wax paper and then fill them with a variety of add-ins plus Mini Wooden Serving Scoops. Invite small groups of kids to come up and build their own dirt cup. This will be a big hit!
Possible add-ins could include gummy worms, malted milk balls, wafer cookies, chocolate candies...the possibilities are endless! Label your goodies by downloading and printing the free construction food labels. Cut out the labels and clip them onto Wood Place Card Holders. Remember to download your free printable construction food labels here. We even included a blank label so you can create your own!
Making the Break Time Snack Mix is as easy as combining all of the ingredients and serving it in Construction Zone Paper Cups. Make it fun by displaying your snack mix in a lined Yellow Toy Dump Truck that looks like it's dropping off its haul in a DIY Unfinished Wood Box Frame lined with waxed paper.
A Compartment Classroom Storage Caddy is the perfect way to organize and display your utensils and napkins. Fill it with plenty of color coordinating knives, spoons, and forks. Don't forget the Construction Zone Beverage Napkins!
A drink dispenser is the perfect addition to your snack station. Fill a large drink dispenser with juice or water and then place it on a Bright Colorful Bucket for easy access to the spigot. Decorate the table by overturning a DIY Large Silver Tin Pail and placing a Yellow Excavator Toy on top.
