Connecting Parish and Home

Catholic Parent Know-How

The Baobab Blast Catholic Parent Know-How is a great way for parents to stay connected with the daily activities at VBS. With an overview of the daily themes, introductions to the critters and stories of the saints, parents will be engaged in the program all week long. This take-home pamphlet is also bursting with ideas to keep the faith-filled fun going all summer long. Crafts, recipes and faith formation resources bring the VBS adventure right into your home.

Exploring Scripture at Home

The scriptures are the foundation for the Baobab Blast VBS program, and there are a variety of engaging tools to help make the connection to the Bible at home, too. By providing suggestions for caring conversations and family prayers, kids and their families will be able to interact with the Bible in new ways long after the program has ended. Baobab Blast will help your parish community and family play, study, share, and serve together.

Baobab Blast Saint and Critter Trading Cards

The Trading Cards come in two options. The Critter Trading cards provide opportunities for families to gather and review the daily Bible memory verse, learn fun facts about the daily critter, and play online games that reinforce each day’s theme, Bible story, and Bible memory verse. The Saint Trading Cards link a real life example to the daily theme in an inspiring and practical way just for kids. Kids love to share both cards with friends -- a great way to strengthen friendships.
