Crafts For Boys

I am trying to come up with some craft ideas for our boys/dads Blue Knights club for next year. The nine topics are each of the seven sacraments, the mass and the scriptures. We would like our crafts to fit the theme. For example, we will probably make little montrances for the Eucharist. I thought of maybe dipping little white candles for baptism, etc. I have a couple other ideas as well, but I'm looking for some other ideas. The boys are ages 5-10. Thanks. :)

My dad and brothers always built pine box derby cars. They did these for boys scouts and had races with them and then had a competition for best of show.

We also made hand puppets out small paper bags that looked like bible characters and did little skits of Bible stories with them.

:lol: I had found some simple wood kits online airplane, car, birdhouse, etc. enough that they could make one each month... but many of the other parents were wanting them to match the theme. This will be our fourth year and it's really hard to come up with new crafts, but we will persevere...

You can always hit the local boy scout store. As long as you're not trying to buy merit badges, anyone can shop there and they have lots of craft kits.

How about Popsicle stick caskets for Last Rites... Or maybe a hospital bed (since it [i]is[/i] technically the Sacrament for the sick...

I know. I am one sick puppy. :P

The Pinewood Derby and Raingutter Rigata were the best parts of Scouts!!

As for the OP...not a very original idea, and probably done to death, but crosses out of Popsicle sticks or clay? One for Christ, Two for the Thieves; perhaps paint a small bit of Styrofoam to stick them on as Golgotha.

To prove your point, we once made a mud castle and moat in Cub Scouts as a Pack. ;)
