Upcoming Clinics:
Planter Box - Saturday, April 5 9-noon
Flower Pencil Holder - Saturday May 3 9-noon
Also, for those of you that might be concerned with the age. At the Home Depot that I went to, most of the kids were probably under the age of 5. I did notice on the sign in sheet that there were 3 and 4 year olds.

UPDATE: We attended our first Home Depot Kid's workshop. They had a bigger area dedicated to the workshop than what Lowe's does. The nails are easier for the kids to hammer as well. (TIP - use the floor for support, not the table.) The staff wasn't as hand's on and interactive though. Here's a picture of the loot that we got after we made our Planter Box (apron, Home Depot apron, pin with the planter on it and a certificate). Note: The Planter Box will be converted to a toolbox. We are going to drill a hole on each end and add a rope handle. I am working on printing on a card with my son's name on it to replace the planting instructions that are currently in the plastic insert.

I love this! We used to always go when we lived in Beavercreek. We have yet to make it to our Home Depot here in town.
Do you mind if I use this for my Super Saturday Savings article this week? Obviously, I will link back to you as a reference, so they can read up on it at your site.
What a great tip!
My son is just shy of 3 but we'll keep that in mind for when he gets a lil bigger.
:)
Andrea,
I'm headed to the Beavercreek store tomorrow morning...not sure if before or after we tackle the Ant Farm at Lowe's.
Carrie,
Not a problem at all.
Niki,
I would keep an eye out on them. A few that I have seen would be perfect. You or dad might have to hammer it together for him but he would love to play wit them. My son loved the goofy golf two weeks ago. Perfect size for a little one. We use it as table golf.
Fill me in on the ant farm?? Is that another monthly activity?
The Ant farm is at Lowe's. Lowe's has a Build and Grow workshop every other Saturday. This week is an ant farm. You can read the post here...
