Do I have to buy the VBS Starter Kit to participate?

Not at all. Even if you don't participate in High Seas Expedition, you can take part in Operation Kid-to-Kid. It's a great way to give your children--and everyone else at your church--a heart for missions! We do suggest you purchase a High Seas Expedition Ultimate Director Go-To Guide, since the detailed information here will help you have a more successful Operation Kid-to-Kid experience.

How many blankets will I need?

At High Seas Expedition VBS, you'll need one blanket kit and one coloring book for every elementary or preschool Crew. For other groups, simply do what works best for your situation.

Where do I get the blankets and coloring books?

These special items are available from Group and Group VBS suppliers.

Can I use a different blanket?

Not if you are distributing it through World Vision for Promise Packs.
They're counting on receiving these blankets with the special message of God's love.

World Vision has learned it's important that items distributed to children should be identical. No child should feel less special because his or her blanket doesn't look like the others.

Do I have to send the blankets and coloring books to World Vision for distribution?

No. You're welcome to use them in your community--or send them with a church mission team.

Can my preschoolers help?

Of course! Preschoolers will need a little help tying knots, though.
Your preschool crafts leader will give the preschool blankets to the elementary craft leader. This way, older kids can go over the blankets little ones made, to be sure the knots are secure and to finish tying the blankets.
