No matter where in the United States you live, all Home Depot stores offer FREE Kids Workshops on the first Saturday of every month.  I’ve taken my boys many times, and if you want a details of our visit, read this.

These “How-To-Clinics” are geared towards children ages 5-12, boys and girls.  Under parental supervision, your child figures out how to make a different project each month.  Kids learn valuable do-it-yourself skills and tool safety as they have fun.

My boys have gone with their grandparents, their father and with me, at different times.  It’s wonderful one-on-one time with the kids, and I’ve had a lot of fun myself trying to help with various projects.

The clinics are very casual, and you can drop in anytime from 9am to noon.  They only take about 30 minutes at most.  And did I mention they’re free?

So whether you live in California or Texas or New York, find your local Home Depot and attend one of these workshops on the first Saturday of each month.

It’s a lot of fun!
