Inside: Photos and details from a local mom who visited the JCPenney Kids Zone free craft event with kids.
Did you know that JCPenney offers free kids’ craft events on the second Saturday of each month? Just visit your local participating JCPenney for these JCPenney Kids Zone events between 11 am and 12 pm on the second Saturday of each month. You’ll get a totally free craft kit for kids, plus a store coupon for mom and dad.
We love free activities for the kids! For more free kids activities from national chain retailers, see the FREE Home Depot Kids Workshop and FREE Lowes Kids Workshop.
Going out for a little family fun doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Kids just want to spend time with the people who love them. This is why we love free kids’ activity events, like the monthly kid’s crafts events at JCPenney.
How the Craft Events Work at JCPenney Kids Zone
The free JCPenney Kids Zone events happen once a month at participating stores. They are totally free crafts that kids and parents can just grab and take home to complete or find a space in the store to complete it right there in store.

JCPenney Kids Zone crafts are often very seasonal and make cute little gifts kids can give to those important people in their lives or enjoy for themselves! This month, kids can make a football tic-tac-toe board that comes with the pieces and markers.

About Kids Zone, FREE Crafts for Kids at JCPenney
JCPenney Kids Zone happens on the second Saturday of each month. Just drop in between 11 am and 12 pm, you do not need to sign up in advance. These kids’ crafts are totally free and include all the supplies necessary to complete the craft.
Plus, kids will receive an ID badge, lanyard, and a collectible pin at the completion of each craft. Once kids have completed 6 kids zone crafts, they will receive a Master Medallion.
Kids must be accompanied by an adult. That adult will receive a coupon for 10% off their shopping trip, so you get to save a little money, too! No purchase is necessary for the kids to do their free craft.
