Jo-Ann Kids

Joann - celebrating 60 years of inspiration

Jo-Ann is the best place to help encourage & nurture creativity in kids of all ages. Studies show that crafting enhances learning skills and helps children develop problem-solving skills. Let your child have some creative (and educational) fun with Jo-Ann!

Creativity for Kids
Creative Kids' events listed below are offered in participating Jo-Ann superstore locations offering education.

Teens, Tweens & Kids Classes
Kids can learn the basics of sewing, quilting, knitting, jewelry-making & more crafts while spending time with other children. They can choose from a variety of kids' Creative University™ classes, and will have a completed handmade item to admire or give to a loved one or friend.

Make It a Party™ - Kids' Crafting Party Program Designed Exclusively by Jo-Ann
Perfect for playgroups, special occasions & celebrations, birthdays or any days! Our party favors, games & crafts encourage kids to play, pretend and use their imaginations in a fun and healthy way. We lead the kids in crafting activities and clean up while you have all the fun!

Jo-Ann's exclusive Make It A Party™ program offers creative themes to create a unique party that the kids will rave about. Themes include pirate, princess, sports, cake decorating and make-your-own stuffed animal activities.

Our party coordinator can help you mix, match & customize the theme as well as suggest accessories and paper goods that complete the theme. Best of all, the party coordinator's services are included in the price of room rental. Project supply fees are separate. Start planning your party today. Visit Guest Services at a participating Jo-Ann store.

Scout Projects
Does you troop want to earn a badge requirement or just have a fun creative activity? Either way, Jo-Ann can help! We have the supplies and the imagination to help your troop earn their Try-It or Merit badges. We also have fun crafts for Cub Packs. We can also do more than just provide supplies. Find out if one of our instructors can teach a new craft to the kids and help them develop additional skills and earn more badges. Inquire at Guest Services at a participating Jo-Ann Superstore.
