Decorating
Decorating for Everywhere Fun Fair is fun and easy!
- Draw inspiration from patterns that remind everyone of the places we’ll explore, such as tartan and plaid (United Kingdom), batik (Zimbabwe), and more! Use patterns on fabric remnants, gift-wrap paper, and more.
- Invite church members to bring items from featured places that they have visited and set up displays.
- Share items that indicate some of the places we’ll discover, such as Australian-style hats, piñatas, brightly-colored tableware—let your imagination be your guide!
- Make buttered popcorn containers: fill small paper cartons with packing “peanuts” and drizzle with yellow paint. Accent with yellow napkins.

- Globes
- Pillows in bright fabric
- Baskets of different styles and materials
