Free Home Depot Kids Building Workshops

January 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment

The first Saturday of every month, Home Depot hosts a FREE Kids Building Workshop from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. The hands-on workshops are designed for children ages 5-12.

Workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills, tool safety and instill a sense of pride and accomplishment. All kids get to keep their craft, receive a FREE certificate of achievement, a Workshop Apron, and a commemorative pin. One workshop kit, apron and pin per child, while supplies last. Home Depot prefers that you sign-up online so they have enough materials.

My husband usually takes our oldest to the workshops for a little special guy time. My son looks forward to the workshops and is always so proud of his creations when he returns. While our oldest goes to build with Daddy, the youngest stays home with me. Often, I will interest him in some toddler-friendly hammering activities using the toy tools from our Home Depot Big Builders Workshop Playset. Either way, both of the boys are happy!

The Home Depot Kids Workshop this month (Saturday, January 4, 2014) is a fun desk calendar. Enjoy!
