the kickballs from otc are out of stock which is why they aren't listed. I'm not sure when they are coming in either. kz

day 1 : test tubes with cool aid sand art in it.  Thinking of having the little ones put a message inside theirs

Day 2 : Gotcha Guys in water bottles

Day 3 ; t-shirts  YOu have to be brave to see what will happen  with sharpy markers and Alcohol  The younger ones will have googles

Day 4 : wind bags power of God  they can be blown up with one breath.  Little ones are Bangers that have soccer balls on top and stickers to decorate

day 5: Bracelet for the older ones that group has.  Then for the little ones I order Mega Phones design you own. So they can Yell Go and tell the world . 

Thought I share.

God bless

Is anyone making the growing buddies from the alternative craft day 4?  Can you sprinkle the grass seed on a sponge instead of using potting soil?

Yep, OTC told me June as well for the kickballs.  Thanks for sharing the info about S&S Worldwide, it's nice to have another option!

I'm having trouble printing the alternative craft directions from the Group site.  For example, Day 1 - Itt-Bitty Buddies - The black background obscures the directions.  Has anyone solved this problem?

Thanks for your help.

For OT, keep checking back or call them.   I called about the kick balls and they said they were available in limited quanities.   When it gets down to a certain # they won't list it on the web anymore but they may still have it available if you call.   When I went to actually place my order an hour or two later after calling to check (I didn't have everything together the first time), they were actually listed again on the web site.   The science photo frames had shown up again too.   They had been previously out of stock and then not listed at all.    I my order hasn't arrived yet but it looks like from the email, everything shipped.

BTW for the photo frames I found a cheaper alternative than even OT.   They had packages of the foam shapes at Hobby Lobby this week for 30% off.   They had words like POW! ZAP! etc in once package and good size science shapes in another.   I think they are self adhesive which the OT don't look like they are.   At Dollar Tree I found half sheet size foam squares 20/$1.   That makes my cost only about $.27 per frame for 80 frames.

littleaussie, if this helps, on day 4, we always do a cross. It is always the quiet day...slower songs and it is always about the life and death of Jesus. Hope this helps.

Just a thought from a concerned individual.....

Do you know that the labor that Oriental Trading uses is both child labor and prison labor? The prison labor is often persecuted Christians.....so, while the "cost" is lower, the "actual" cost is very high to humans in China.

Did you know that Group does NOT use this type of labor in the production of its crafts?.....at this point in my life, stuff like that matters more than dollars and cents....

Just my opinion....but, thought maybe that some of you may not know this information.
