Local trips – Home Depot
On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers a building workshop for kids. The projects are not complicated, as in some sanding, hammering of pegs, glueing, and attaching stickers. Usually they are centered around something going on within that month; Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Superbowl Sunday, etc. Our kids are still young and need one of us to help them with each step, but I can see in a few years they will be able to take one of these (free) kits and construct something on their own. There is always a staff person around to assist if you need it. Also, you get a little Home Depot kid-sized apron and a collector button each time you finish a project. As it turns out, we can ususally find something we need at the store while we are there… but even if you have no other reason to go, its a great activity.
thank you for posting it about home depot. i’m sure my son will be interested to learn something different and new! (by the way, a big hello!)
Great to hear from you Tara. I have since learned that Lowe’s and Michaels also have great craft days too.
