Your child can learn to build! On scheduled Saturdays each month, Home Depot offers FREE workshop for kids to work with Mom or Dad to build their own wooden masterpiece that they can complete in-store and then take home. Workshops are designed for kids ages 5-12, but all ages are welcome. I signed up my 11, 9, and 5 year olds for a recent project building a rocket ship pencil box, and it was a fun first experience. I was initially reluctant to bring the 11-year-old, thinking she'd be far too advanced, but I was wrong! Although most of the kids there seemed younger, I actually felt as though it was an appropriate, on-level independent project for her age, and even still I had to help her out a bit. And I had to help the two younger girls A LOT!
Most Kid's Workshop projects involve the use of hammers and nails, screwdrivers, stickers, and paint, and are great for building small project assembly skills. Show up anytime between 9am and 12pm, and your child will be outfitted with the hallmark orange Home Depot apron and the tools to create the designated project. Finish the project in-store and your child will receive a certificate of achievement and a pin for their apron.
The next scheduled workshop is Saturday, September 7 from 9am- 12pm. You and your child will be building a scarecrow planter! Use this link to find your preferred location first, and then sign up!
