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.
Home Depot Kids Workshop
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!

These are great to share with a child. (Lowe’s has them too) But there’s one moment of truth: Are you willing to hold a nail for a three-year-old with a hammer?
Sarah, thank you for stopping by! We’ve been enjoying these workshops for over a year now. They’re wonderful!
Larry, I have had to hold a nail for a five-year-old…and it is a little scary, but he’s six now, and he can hammer like a pro now!!

Hey, Thanks for the reminder of something fun (and free!) to do with the kids. I had heard of these workshops, thought it sounded cool, then forgot about going! I’ll mark it on my calendar so we can start taking advantage of this (plus, we always seem to need something from Home Depot, so this would kill 2 birds with one stone!!)

Camping in England is only supportable with actually good weather… and it’s still a great deal a little nippy at night yet when it’s hot in the day . So it can be like doing a self abasement. Here in Greece it’s a whole different ballgame and with only a few basics can be quite luxurious . I do love my melodic line bed. But there’s no doubting that the atmospheric condition here is perfect for it. The solitary thing you have to make sure of is that you’ve got some shade over your collapsible shelter… sooner rendered by a tree (not forever easy if you like beach bivouacking ). . It can get mighty hot really betimes in the good morning… No fun if you’ve been drinking wine and star staring til the early minutes. More detail about cheap store
