Are you an Inventor?

Terms of Use

Hey Crafty Kids, there are a few things we need to tell you about this site so that we all know what the rules are. You should have your parents read this with you so that they can explain anything that you are not sure of.

We hope you enjoy exploring our site and find lots of cool things to do — we want you to have fun. You can make the crafts, do projects and share what you made. However you can't sell the ideas or tell people that you came up with them — that wouldn't be fair. You can always ask us if you are unsure. It's sort of like borrowing something from mom or dad—it's always better to ask first.
Feel free to make the projects that are posted on the site and you can even give them to mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles or anyone else. Again, just ask your mom or dad first — you wouldn't want to give a newly made craft to your baby sister and have her feed it to your dog or cat—would you? That wouldn't be safe.
If you make something or have an idea for a craft project, ask mom or dad if you can send it to our site at inventor@creativehands.com. We may want to share your idea with our other friends on the site. Who knows, we may even make it into a craft product. By sending in your ideas and getting your parent's permission to do so, you and your parents are telling us it's okee dokee to repeat what you say. It's even okee dokee to put it in an advertisement. It means we can use it in any way we want, anywhere, until the end of time. How awesome, your idea could actually end up in a product like our friend Carmen with her idea for a lace case. Sweet.
Finally, have fun and enjoy looking around.

Remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us. After all, they might want it to put on the fridge!

That's all we really wanted to say, but our lawyers need to say it in a different way—so have mom or dad read through the following—it makes our lawyers feel happy.
