More Fun and Free Clinics for Kids

Back in February, I had told you about the Lowe's Build and Grow Workshops. You can read that post here. Now I'd like to share another one - Home Depot's Free Kid's Workshops. (Enter your zip code then click on the Kid's Workshop. You may need to change the month at the top. Mine was defaulted to March.)

The Home Depot workshops are designed for kids ages 5-12. I still take my 4 year old. He LOVES them. He always been into building and fixing things. These workshops are offered on the first Saturday of each month between 9 a.m. and noon.

Upcoming Clinics:
Planter Box - Saturday, April 5 9-noon
Flower Pencil Holder - Saturday May 3 9-noon

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.

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.
