Back2School display idea for kidmin

It's 'Back to School' this week for Australian kids and we wanted to create a bit of excitement for them at church. But, if you're like me, the hardest part is creating an attention-grabbing display or focus. Do you struggle with this, too?

I've mentioned before that I spend a lot of time checking out shop window displays for ideas. And lately, I've noticed a number of companies are using boxes in creative ways in their windows. 

So... I decided to use boxes myself. I've used them before and they're very versatile. Check out the simple display I created for our Back2School Sunday.

The idea is simple. I'd collected a number of evenly sized boxes with sides that nicely fit an A3 size paper. Then, I printed pictures of children and school themes onto A3 paper and attached them to the boxes with double-sided tape. ( I prefer to use the tape rather than gluing but it's just a personal preference. I think the glue can buckle the paper a little while the tape always sits flat.)

Decide where you will place your display- church foyer, auditorium or kidmin areas. Then arrange your boxes. I used 5 boxes for the base and 3 more on top of these. That left me with some spaces for my cartoon kid cutouts.

I've mentioned these cutouts previously but in case you missed it, you can find more information about creating these types of display pieces here.

I used the same technique to create a free-standing pile of books to pop on the top of the boxes.
Lastly, I printed a large Scripture verse and attached it to heavy-weight card. The verse we used was Jeremiah 32:27 and we used this verse in our later discussions about handling Back2School nervousness or problems at school.
How do you create your kidmin displays?
