Kids take them home, parents ask about them, and they become lasting reminders of the lessons learned. At Guildcraft Inc, we've been supplying VBS programs across the country for decades — and we've put together this theme-by-theme guide to help you plan your 2026 program with confidence.

Tips for VBS Craft Planning

Before you place your order, here are a few things experienced VBS coordinators always keep in mind:

• Order by age group. Some crafts are better suited for older kids (grades 3–6), while others are perfect for preschoolers. Check each product page for age recommendations.
• Order 10–15% extra. Attendance can be unpredictable, and running out of craft supplies mid-week is stressful. A small buffer goes a long way.
• Pre-assemble where possible. Many of our kits can be partially prepped in advance to save time during stations.
• Match your craft to your message. The best VBS crafts reinforce the day's Bible lesson. Use our theme collections to find crafts that align with your curriculum.
