Frequently Asked Questions
Will Baobab Blast work for small churches?
Yes! Baobab Blast gives you the tools you need to have a successful VBS regardless of the size of your program. With an all-kids option designed especially for the small church setting, you can effectively engage students in a multi-age setting that will provide a memorable and exciting VBS experience for your kids.
Will Baobab Blast work for large churches?
Yes! With age-specific material and five rotation site guides with multiple activity options and energy levels, there is enough variety and flexibility to meet the needs of even the largest VBS program.
Is Baobab Blast easy to use?
With practical planning helps, checklists, decorating ideas, supply guides, and other tools, we help take the guesswork out of getting ready for VBS. And with the Web Tool Kit, it is easier than ever to plan, prepare, and run a successful program.
How “green” is Baobab Blast?
We know you take stewardship of the environment seriously—and so do we. All of our VBS print products are created using paper from sustainable forestry methods. The Director Guide includes many reproducible pages, as does the Web Tool Kit, so you can download and print only what you need when you need it, significantly reducing paper waste. Decorating ideas, games, crafts, and activities all emphasize the use of recycled materials—significantly reducing the cost of the program and leaving you with no leftover plastic at the end of your VBS! The Kid Pouches are made from biodegradable material. The Kid Packs are made from recycled plastic. Plus, the Critters and Kid Pouches have been tested and adhere to 2008 government safety regulations so you can be confident in providing these to your kids.
We only use two or three rotation stations—will Baobab Blast still work for us?
Absolutely! There are many ways to easily adapt Baobab Blast so that it perfectly fits how you do VBS. Whichever rotation stations you decide to use, you can be sure that kids will be engaged and will grow in their knowledge of the Bible story through interactive activities.
Can we use the program in some way other than the five-day format?
Of course! Baobab Blast is so flexible that it works for weeknight, half-day, or any number of other formats. You will find several options in the Director Guide.
If I buy the CD, must I buy a music CD for each student?
Nope! When you purchase the Baobab Blast CD, you also get permission to duplicate copies of the CD for each of your kids—so you can make enough for everyone in your VBS.
