This post actually applies to everyone who has a Home Depot nearby. On the first Saturday of the month Home Depot has free Kids' Workshops for children ages 5-12. Workshops are held from 9-noon or while supplies last. There is no pre-registration required. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentView?pn=Kids_Workshops&langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&navFlow=3&searchRedirect=kids workshops&cm_sp=searchredirect-_-kids_workshop_lp-_-x-_-x
The next workshop is scheduled for Saturday, June 5. The craft is a mini foosball table.
These workshops expose children to the basics of woodworking and building. All crafts include hammering and gluing. Children receive an orange Home Depot apron at their first workshop and a pin upon completion of each craft.
Monkey has been to two of this Kids' Workshops. He has enjoyed both, but both have required considerable help from an adult. He has made a firetruck and a perpetual calendar.

Jase LOVES the workshops - he started going to them when he was 3 1/2, so the 5 year isn't a strict limit. You're right, though, they do require a lot of help from the parents. I'm not sure if you were planning on mentioning them in another post but Lowes also has some workshops, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassie. Yes, I was planning on listing Lowe's in another post.
ReplyDeleteYou're right there isn't a strict requirement on age. Monkey went to his first one around age three or four.
