Little Crafts: GapKids - shine on saturdays

I’m so thrilled to have been selected to share this news with you. Because when you combine three of my favorite things – kids, shopping and creativity – it’s pretty exciting.

GapKids is hosting a series of events for kids to unleash their inner artist. The special art projects are designed by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag. Merrilee is an illustrator, painter, designer, crafter, seamstress and mother. Mer Mag, is a journal of her creative endeavors with her kids. Here are a few samples of projects from her blog.

Circle Punch Art

Tea Box Circus Train

The projects in the GapKids Shine On Saturdays event, which include a journal and animal character, were inspired by the GapKids and babyGap fall collection.

The collection includes Jewel Box Skinnies for girls. 

And Action Stretch Denim for boys. 

This month, select GapKids stores will be hosting the Shine On Saturdays events.
