Kids’ Freebies this Month

The deal runs from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time, ending Dec. 21, and is valid for customers who purchase a full-priced adult entrée, according to the pancake house restaurant chain.

JCPenney Kids Zone Craft Event – December 13th
JCPenney stores are back with their fun free Kids Zone Craft Event!

After completing six crafts, they’ll earn a Master Medallion! Parents also receive a 10% off JCPenney coupon!
Michaels Craft Days
Some of the Events are in-store participation, and some are online. The Take and Makes (when available) are available to grab from a cashier or store associate and craft at home.
