Your VBS lessons and skits can be easier on your workers and reach a new level with these suggested puppets!

Just click on a photo or highlighted puppet name to open a new window- and world- of creative opportunities!

This summer it seems like everyone is going green, including three new VBS titles! Our Green Machines are flying out the door! All you have to do is spin the recycling symbol on the front to change old things into new or to introduce new object lessons! the best part is that it is reusable! Use it every day for VBS and once a month for children's church!
