What theme is your VBS this year?

I was just curious what other churches are doing for their VBS (vacation bible school) this summer. Our church is doing "Bethlehem Village" where the kids learn about the birth of Jesus and also about Jewish customs back then.

They get to make clay toys, shepherd's flutes, mosaic tiled boxes, perfume, coins and tie dyed bags. They also will learn how to grind wheat for baking bread and get to sample different foods that the people in bible times ate back then.

We're trying to be as frugal as possible with the crafts. Instead of buying everything from the VBS catalog we order what we can from Oriental Trade or try to make it homemade. This saves a lot of money for us.
