Craft of the Month Blog Giveaway

Happy New Year!

Wow!  What an interesting 2009 it has been already with the challenging economy and freezing cold weather throughout the country - even in the deep South! I'm a glass-half-full type of person and like to look at the bright side....the uncertainty of the economy is forcing people to value the things they have and has reinforced the desire to spend quality time with family and friends, eating Sunday dinners at home vs. going out.  Furthermore, the recent freezing cold weather and snow in Cleveland has forced us into hibernation...which to me, means spending quality time with my family on the floor playing games, reading books and doing art projects (and I can no longer avoid those nagging little projects like organizing my closet or preparing our taxes).  The only problem with countless days of hibernation, means we quickly run out of games and art projects to do together (and I can only read Bear Snores On so many times before I want to curl up in a ball and snore myself), thus I am always looking for new ideas for games and projects....

Conveniently, the Creativity for Kids Product Development Team (the fun people who create all of our fun kits) came up with the January Craft of the Month project.  The cool thing about this Craft of the Month is that, not only do you have the joy of creating something together with your kids, you subsequently use it to play games during your hibernation (further interacting with your family) AND you can recycle common household items and save money to boot! 

We hope you enjoy the project and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!  Seriously, we really want your feedback...so to help encourage participation in our Craft of the Month Blog, we're giving away $100 worth of Creativity for Kids products!  Here's how you can win: 

  1. Try the Craft of the Month (and tell your friends about it).  
  2. Make sure to check out our website and choose a product that will help you get through being stuck inside during the winter (or maybe for an upcoming birthday).  
  3. Come back to the Craft of the Month Blog and leave a comment telling us about your COTM experience and list the products you'd like if you win.  
  4. Don't forget to leave your email address so we can contact you if you win.
  5. Rules and stuff:  All entries must be received by January 31st.  Winner will be chosen at random.  Conditions listed under #1-5 must be met in full.  

We can't wait to hear your feedback!! 

Happy Crafting!

P.S.  Stay tuned for February's Craft of the Month and promotion (yep, we'll be giving away more products!). 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble, Gobble, I can already smell the delicious turkey and yummy pumpkin pie fresh from the oven.   I can't wait to eat that traditional meal but .  .  .  Thanksgiving is so much more than a great meal.

 

Thanksgiving is a perfect time for everyone to give thanks for all of our many blessings.

 

This "Thankful Turkey" will give each of your guests at your Thanksgiving dinner the opportunity to share what they are most thankful for this year.

 

As each guest arrives for your Thanksgiving meal, give them a feather that you have designed and have them write on the feather what they are most thankful for in their life.   When they are finished, each feather is placed in the turkey for everyone to admire.

 

Your "Thankful Turkey" will be the best part of the meal and will be a great memory for years to come!

 

We'd love to hear how your Thanksgiving craft goes so send us a comment and fill us in.  Also, when you are done adding feathers to your craft, take a picture of it and submit it to our gallery so that everyone can see it. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving from Creativity for Kids!

 

I love Halloween . . . What about you?  My favorite part is adding a new creation to my Halloween display. That is why I created this cute, yet spooky mummy.  It will be sure to draw attention from your family and friends. You can make it really creepy by making scary eyes and add some crawling insects or snakes.  Your own creative touch will make it perfect.  You can show us your creation by posting on the Creativity for Kids gallery. We would love to see it.  This would be a great family project and I know you would have a howling good time! 

I'd love to hear about some of your other great Halloween craft ideas too.

Happy Halloween!!!!
