Creative Ministry with Kids

RESOURCES

There are so many amazing resources out there to support Scuba and the under-the-sea theme in general! Group Publisher provides countless supports for their program, some included with the kit and others as separate purchases. The resources I have provided here are intended to supplement the fabulous VBS curriculum and resources provided by Group Publisher.

The clipart that Group provides—including the Bible Buddies, Logos, Bible Story Art, etc.—is a fabulous resource for each church. They provide it and allow each church to use their artwork to create items for their own church use only. Their copyright does not allow for items created with their clipart to be shared with other churches. I explain that in case you’re wondering why I haven’t used Group’s amazing clipart in anything I’m sharing on this site.

Each of the resources below is available for download as a pdf file and/or image. I have also provided the Canva Template Link wherever possible so that you may edit the file to make it better meet your needs (and to add in Group Publisher’s clipart if you’d like).

Please give me feedback regarding any issues with these resources as well as any additional resources you would find helpful.
