Shipwrecked Tiki Hut (Quick, Easy & Cheap!)

It’s not often that I have a large VBS display for little to no cost… this year, though, we can make tiki huts for little to no cost and very little time (uh, aren’t those projects every VBS director’s dream come true?!)!

This year’s Group VBS theme is Shipwrecked {learn more about the theme here}.  The VBS kits are available now.  All of our VBS resources are designed to be used alongside any of the Group starter kits, although I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the ultimate version with digital.

A tiki hut would be an adorable addition to the Shipwrecked stage set or a great registration area focal point… who wouldn’t want to register for VBS at a tiki hut?!  Most party retailers sell tiki hut kits like the ones below.

This tabletop tiki hut is $34.99 at Oriental Trading.

 

Don’t run out to purchase that kit yet, though!  Every church I’ve been to has a nativity for their Christmas program with a stable, right?

Do you know what the difference between a nativity stable and a tiki hut is?
FLORAL GARLAND.
Seriously.
It’s that simple.

Whip out your Christmas nativity stable and add some floral garland – it’s one of the easiest big VBS displays I’ve seen!

Are you transforming your nativity stable into a tiki hut? I’d love to see your photos!

I am a long-time Vacation Bible School lover.  I’ve lead in several capacities throughout the VBS world and am currently our church’s VBS director.  It is a joy for me to be able to share VBS ideas and resources with others!  I will continue to share VBS ideas here as we prepare for Shipwrecked VBS.  Follow the blog to see more of our ideas and planning!  Please let me know if there are any specific VBS items or ideas you need help with!
