Reply to "What's in YOUR Sunday School Supply Closet? ...a list of interesting and creative things teachers and leaders have in their supply closets. Add yours!"

A list from Central United Methodist Church, Meridian MS...


1. Colored plastic tablecloths, ceiling hooks, clothespins and T-pins

We use colored plastic tablecloths for so many things we joke that we could write a book! We drape ceilings, make water and flames..the list goes on.

2. Paint Tarps: We also use painters tarp for backgrounds, covering items we don't want to show, roads, etc.

3. Painted styrofoam coolers (to make bricks/buildings)

A local compounding pharmacy gives us these and we paint them to make stone bricks for building walls and towers.

4.  Wood to build frames with, and cover to make houses, temples, booth.  These screw together so use them in various forms. Cover them as the houses for our Passover unit, secret church for our Sudan workshop, a ticket booth for VBS, turned on its side for a manger scene, as a tunnel for a game etc., stacked for an ark.

5. Coffee cans filled with concrete with a pvc pipe stand in it. We cover the PVC by sliding foam pool noodles over them and attach signs to them throughout the year.

6. Rope light, Christmas lights, and net lights.

7. Laptop, projector and MICCA Media Player device for playing media in other locations outside of our gathering room.

A Micca device is a portable digital media player, providing convenient playback of all popular photo, music, and video formats that you've put on a USB flash stick. Can play full-HD resolution on any TV or HDTV via either newer HDMI digital cable plug, or composite AV ("rca plug") cables that plug into older analog TVs.  

Here are some photos of our creative supplies being used!
