Written by Randy Triplett

"I can paint and follow instructions, but I don’t have the creative mind to come up with these ideas on my own. As I prayed for God’s leading, I found your site. WOW!!! I thought, hey, I can do this.

You have given us the keys to unlock the vision we have for our children’s church and preschool areas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!" - Michelle W.
Recently a competitor, in an attempt to generate business, made light of our product. But, more importantly they made light of you who have had the courage to paint your facility yourself. We at Creative For Kids take exception to their comments.

|
|
|
Written by Randy Triplett
|
|
In the beginning…. oh, where have we heard that before? When looking into creating a unique, creative children’s ministry theme it can be quite daunting. So, let’s take the pressure out of it. Designing a great theme is really a process of getting before God and asking him for an idea. Ask him what will work best for your kids and the demographic of your community. Do this step in the beginning before you get too far into the process. An idea from God can save yourself a lot of time and frustration.

Designing for Multi-use Space |
|
|
|
Written by Randy Triplett
|

I often get asked the question about how to decorate a space that has to be used for a variety of purposes.
