I’m all about fun, free (and cheap) activities for kids. JCPenney has an upcoming event that fits the bill! Check out this fun, free craft from JCPenney’s.
Visit the Kids Zone inside JCPenney on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 11 a.m. to noon and create your own 3D turkey craft.
All materials are provided but are only available while supplies last.
Plus, parents get a free 10% off coupon (and it can be combined with other JCP coupons!)
I’ve got wide feet. I always have, but after 5+ years of walking 12,ooo+ steps a day and taking stairs daily (multiple times), they’ve managed to get a little wider.
The search for wide shoes is exhausting, y’all. Here are a few companies that sell wide (D) and extra-wide (2E) shoes.
I’ve only included ladies’ shoes because I found out that men’s 2E wide shoes are not as wide as ladies’ 2E shoes. I need all the room I can get.
And for those who say that sometimes you have to suffer for beauty, wearing shoes that are too small or too narrow can damage your feet permanently. My grandmother ended up with hammertoes because she wore shoes that were too narrow and small for years. Other medical conditions one can develop from wearing improperly sized shoes include calluses, corns, ingrown toenails, nerve damage (including Morton’s Neuroma), and bunions. Don’t risk it.
I’m all about fun, free (and cheap) activities for kids. JCPenney has two events coming up that fit the bill! Check out these fun, free crafts from JCPenney’s.
Visit the Kids Zone inside JCPenney on August 8, 2026, from 11 AM to Noon, and kids can create an axolotl pouch. The Craft includes a pencil pouch, markers, and a small notebook. Great for back to school!
If you are busy that day, there is an event in September!
On September 12, 2026, from 11 AM to Noon, kids can come create a cabin picture frame. This craft includes wood sticks, foam pieces, glue dots, a marker, and a magnet.
This is a great deal! Now through 9/19/2026, students and teachers (with a valid K-college student or teacher ID) can get a $12 haircut at their local JCP Salon!
And to sweeten the deal for educators, score an extra 10% off your purchase with a valid school ID.
If you know of a teacher/educator who could use a little pick-me-up in the form of a haircut, please share this deal!
JCPenney hosts a fun craft event in-store for kids on the second Saturday of each month. They are easy for kids and a fun, free activity.
While you are there, make sure to join their Rewards Program. There are a lot of great benefits, and it’s free to join. I do a lot of our shopping at JCP. They are very size-inclusive, have great prices/sales, and support diversity in the communities in which they are located.
In-store events are only where local mandates allow. All kids must be accompanied by an adult. More details, including participating JCP locations, can be found here.
August:
8/9/25 11AM-12PM Decorate a back-to-school pencil pouch. The craft includes a pencil pouch with a zipper pull, markers, and a sticker sheet.
September:
9/13/25 11AM-12PM Make a wooden tic-tac-toe board. The Craft includes a wooden board and pieces with markers.
JCP is THE place we start back-to-school shopping.
From basics like underwear and socks to the perfect First Day of School Outfit, JCPenney’s has been the go-to in my family for generations.
Right now, back-to-school sales are in full swing, and JCP has some great deals.
Whether you shop in-store or online, don’t forget to check out their coupons page here.
And don’t forget their rewards program!
JCP is the master of clearance. They have incredible clearance online and in-store, and right now, JCP has clearance for the whole family starting at $5!
If you are looking for inexpensive cotton shirts to tie dye or craft with, this clearance sale is a great time to stock up. I know craft stores that sell cheap shirts, but I love these shirts instead:
If you are looking for more information about tie dying, check out my post here.
Just in time for winter holiday shopping! Through today only, JCP has underwear, socks, and bras for the whole family on sale. Buy 2, get 2 free.
I just found out and rushed to get pairs in the kids’ current sizes (2 packs) and the next size up (2 packs). Perfect for the holidays (who doesn’t want underwear or socks in their stockings??), or jump on spring shopping by getting the next size up.
The sales end tonight, so if this is something you need, Get to it! I also shopped through MyPoints and earned 550 points, approximately the equivalent of a $3.00 Target Gift Card! To learn more about MyPoints, click here.
Y’all know I love JCP. They have great sales, an incredible loyalty program, and the Kids Zone!
The Kids Zone is an in-store program where kids can make and take a free craft in-store once a month.
Parents receive a 10% off in-store coupon. The best part is that the 10% off coupon can be stacked with other JCP coupons.
August’s craft is a cute pencil pouch and notebook!
Find your closest JCP location here.
And if you are a teacher, JCP is offering a 35% off coupon. You can learn more and sign up here.
They have amazing sales and deals, their towels are my favorite. They have clothing for the entire family, even tall sizes. We’re a tall family, and JCP is a go to for pants for all of us.
They’ve revamped their rewards program, and it’s looking pretty sharp.
