It's time to get crafty with the KITC Kids Create! Monthly Craft Carnival. What is it?

A carnival is a blog article that contains links to other articles covering a specific topic. Think of it as a craft party, where everyone has to show up with a craft based on the same topic. Use this carnival to encourage your family to create crafts and memories and have fun together! Who can participate?

All KITC readers! Whether you have a blog or not, we have a way you can participate! When?

Beginning this month we will announce a craft theme. Throughout the month you are encouraged to make a craft with your children and post your finished project to share with others. Make and share as many crafts as you want according to the theme before the end of the month deadline. Crafts you have made in the past are welcome, but new crafts are encouraged. Once the deadline has passed we will showcase the crafts and announce the following month’s theme.

Where and how do we post our crafts?

There is a link-up widget at the bottom of this post. If you are blogger, post about your craft on your blog and link below to your post. If you do not have a blog, use the KITC Flickr group to upload a picture of your craft (make sure to include your name and a written description of your craft). Read more information here on how to use Flickr and how to join the KITC Flickr Group. October 2011 Theme – Leaves

Autumn is here and the leaves are changing colours. How will you use this theme to welcome and celebrate the season? Will you create a leaf wreath for your front door? Or a tree made out of handprint leaves? Will you make leaf stamps? Need some help getting your creative juices flowing? Check out my “Leaves” inspiration board on Pinterest. Deadline to submit: October 28, 2011

What will your family create? Alicia is mother to E (2.5) and blogs at I Found My Feet.
