Fun Freetime: Jack and Jill/Planet DIY

Roll up your sleeves, Jack and Jill magazine is going DIY. The award-winning U.S. Kids title, written for children ages 7-12, will be regularly featured on PlanItDIY.com in conjunction with the website’s recent relaunch. Maintained by the North American Retail Hardware Association, PlanItDIY.com is a consumer resource for how-to home improvement videos and step-by-step project guides. Jack and Jill will be featuring kid-friendly projects that families can complete together on the website.

 

“PlanItDIY.com is rapidly becoming the go-to source for consumers to find how-to information and inspiration for their projects around the home,” said Dan Tratensek, Vice President with the North American Retail Hardware Association. “Because the site is brought to you by the same local hardware store home center and lumber dealers they go to everyday for the best service and advice, they know it's a source they can trust. Now with the addition of fun projects for kids from Jack and Jill the site will be better than ever."

 

PlanItDIY.com provides visitors with a truly unique resource for connecting directly to a community of fellow DIYers. Some of the first Jack and Jill projects to be published on PlanItDIY.com are “World in a Bottle,” a terrarium that teaches children about the fragility and importance of our planet’s ecosystem and a duct tape handbag and wallet. Future projects include a homemade compost bin, homegrown catnip, and a bird feeder.
