Join me in NYC for GapKids Shine On Saturdays!
Next Saturday (August 18th) I will be attending a spectacular event hosted by GapKids right here in New York City! Shine On Saturdays are scheduled for August 11, 18, and 24th (see schedule below) at three different GapKids locations in Manhattan! I am so excited and can’t wait to join in on all of the fun that GapKids has planned for me and my son!
Unleash your inner artist!
Join us for a series of special art projects by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag!
Designed by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag, the projects were inspired by the GapKids and babyGap fall collection, including the best new 1969 denim – Jewel Box Skinnies for girls (the new skinny jean updated in bright stretchy denim) and Action Stretch Denim for boys (designed for play all day- it’s denim that’s made to move).
This month, select GapKids stores in stores in across the country will host Shine On Saturdays events. From creating geometric masterpieces on canvas using paint and tape to colorful, custom journals to get kids ready for back-to-school, the projects help kids express their creativity!

I love this idea! Unfortunately, the Gap near us isn’t participating this time, but I think it’s a wonderful idea that so many companies are starting to incorporate fun things for kids. We currently go to children’s workshops at Lowe’s and Home Depot and our son has so much fun being included! I know it makes him feel like he matters and it makes me feel like these companies really care about reaching out to the family as a whole!
This sounds like a lot of fun! Wish we had this when I was a kid–or when my friends had kids-we all would have had a blast
