VBS: Victoria Falls Decorating Ideas

YAY! It's time to decorate my room for Vacation Bible School! This year I need to recreate Victoria Falls, so I'll need clouds, rainbows, waterfalls, and rock walls. Here's what I've found and/or figured out so far...

Rainbows

I think I'll try stringing together swim noodles to make a rainbow that spans the room. Check back to see how that goes!



And More...

I thought I'd get one of those styrofoam airplanes to hang from the ceiling, too. You can find more ideas on my Victoria Falls VBS Pinterest Board.

UPDATE:


This is how my room turned out. You can read more about it here.
