Info on Kidcot?

[summermac]

I was wondering if there's a list of the different things to make/see at the Kidcot stations?

I'd like to hype Epcot a bit to my son. He loves making stuff so hoping Kidcot can help.

Thanks!

OMG, my ds used to LOVE going country to country and crafting. Not sure what you'll find on boards but here's what I recall.
They give you a cardboard face mask maybe like 8" and it is on a wood stick (like a yardstick type not lollipop, so its sturdy) wherever you make your first stop. that then gets taken to each country, where you will find a table, a CM From that country (awesome experience to meet/talk) and you/child gets a little "item" that somehow represents that particular country. They decorate the mask and item and it gets attached to the mask (hangs from it) The CM will gladly sign the kids mask or sign an autograph book as well, in their own language. There were markers, stickers and crayons at most. You need to go "into" the pavillion and find the stations, some are located in back (to get you thru the the shop, LOL) but it is worth it. We also bought the passport that they stamped and placed a sticker from each country. What a great way to remember the trip to Epcot. We have so many masks and the passport and pressed penny book too (one kid..) Also try and see the "shows" around thw world, like candy lady in Japan. The "soda" from around the world (free tastes in dixie size cups) is in one of the front areas, forgot which though. is also fun for kids, never mind adults, LOL.
Have a great trip!!!

I would love to hear more people's experience doing these? How much time did you spend at each station?

You can spend anywhere from 3-15 mintues at each station. We generally just picked up the charm.

You can see pictures in my vacation blog of the mask.

My DD (2.5 at the time) really enjoyed it. She especially enjoyed them outside the rides she was too short to ride. Here is one from the countries: they made ladybug paper plates.

I swear the top of her head is not sunburnt!!

You can pick up a mask at whatever country you start with. The mask we got in December was a face with a Santa hat on it. Then at each country, you color the mask, get it stamped and they will attach a "tag" to it. My kids loved doing this!

I read in someone's trip report that once you get a passport stamped in all the countries at the Kidcot stations you could take it to a shop or somewhere are receive a certificate for going to all the stations. Does this still happen? And if so where to we go to get the final certificate?

Anyone have more pictures of the charms and other goodies?
