Are You or Your Family Crafty? MacKID Krafters Needed!

Help us help our readers, and get rewarded!

By Christen Reiner, Macaroni KID Lakewood-Littleton, Macaroni KID Denver, and Macaroni KID Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock-Lone Tree Editor and Publisher January 15, 2026

Do you love to cook, do crafts, science experiments, and/or projects? 

Can you take a decent photo (or are you willing to learn a few photo tricks)? 

Do you want to leave your mark on the world as a published, credited photographer? 

Does a shout out in a MacKID article or in our newsletter sound fun?


If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, we need your help!

We are looking for a few awesome Macaroni KID readers who would be willing to help us by taking photos for upcoming articles showcasing easy crafts, recipes, science experiments, recipes, and projects. 

We will give you EASY instructions for taking the photos. We will give you EASY instructions for the project we will be writing about. And, we will reward you for your efforts!

Sometimes, we might have tickets to an event that we will share. Maybe we'll send you a Starbucks gift card. Perhaps we have a fun item or activity to share with your family. The reward could be different every time, but our appreciation will always be HUGE.

PLUS, you are never obligated to say yes when we ask! Most likely, we will send a list of options to everyone who expresses an interest in participating. You can say yes or no!

AND, you and your family do NOT have to be IN the photos (unless you want to).

Our kiddos are a bit older and a bit too busy to help us with this part of Macaroni KID, but we know that there are families out there who would love this assignment.

Is it yours?
