The borrowed paddles were made into a cross using "rope." This is actually inexpensive cording from a fabric store. I had the crates on hand. The tiki torches were a Dollar Tree find.
The steering wheel is another borrowed goody. It came from a tug boat forty years ago. When I first learned about this year's theme, I sent a sign up sheet around in my women's Bible study group with a wish list of items. Everyone came through with life jackets, shells, and more.
I created the "Jesus Rescues" life saver with a Dollar Tree float and some black alphabet stickers.
Each day I displayed a science board about that day's saint. We also enjoyed informative daily visits from the saints.
This is the sloth sanctuary, which is part of the Shipwrecked program. The cute little sloth is laying in a hammock made from a Dollar Tree fishing net.
The background wall is covered in a leaf patterned bulletin board paper from Hobby Lobby. My daughter and I went a little crazy hanging vines on the ceiling. We also covered the floor with tarps for a sandy look. I stapled grass skirts to a strip of balsa wood for the hut ceilings.
This map is the sign near the door.
