Home Depot Kids Workshops

A family in our church first told us about the kids workshops that Home Depot offers.  I wasn't sure what to expect at the first one we attended, but we had a blast! 
Each child gets a Home Depot apron the first time they attend, and each time they complete a project, they get a pin to add to their apron.  The projects come in a kit with everything you need to build it, including full instructions.  You just head to one of the tables set up, where you'll find any tools you'll need, and get started.  My kids have made a calendar, wagon, trivet, planter box, bookends, and (my favorite) a fire station bank.  They are so proud of their projects!  Plus, if you get overrun with projects, they also make great gifts for grandparents!
At our local Home Depot, the workshops are held the first Saturday of every month, starting at 9:00 a.m.  You can find more information on the Home Depot website.
