Free Family Fun at Lowes


Take the kids and head on over to Lowes on Saturday, May 9th from 10-11am to make a small planter. As with the Home Depot workshops, these are typically aimed at kids 5-12 years old. They'll get to construct their planter and will also get to keep an apron and goggles.

Free Home Depot Fun for Kids


More kids workshops have been posted over at Home Depot. They are offered on the first Saturday of each month from 9am-noon. On Saturday, May 2nd, take your kids to Home Depot to build a small wooden toy wheelbarrow. On Saturday, June 6th, they can make a hardware sorter (actually, if you add a hook to the back of it, it looks like this could double as a shadow box for displaying small toys on the wall). The workshops are typically for kids from 5-12 years, but slightly younger kids can have a great time too with mom or dad's help. In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized apron and a pin. A great way for some creative (and free) family fun!
