Free Kids Craft Event at JCPenney Kids Zone — Saturday, October 10, 2026
JCPenney hosts a free Kids Zone craft event on the second Saturday of every month, and the next one is Saturday, October 10, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM local time at participating JCPenney stores. Kids get to build a fun seasonal craft to take home — the October 10 project is a Dalmatian Fireman pin — and parents receive a special 10% off in-store coupon for shopping. No sign-up is required and no purchase is necessary; just show up during the event window while supplies last. Submitting your information is not required and does not guarantee a craft kit if materials run out. The event recurs monthly, so if you miss October 10, the next Kids Zone event falls on the second Saturday of November. Confirm the date, time, and craft project at your local store on the official JCPenney Kids Zone page before you go, since participation and projects can vary by location.
