When are the Home Depot Kids Workshops?

Home Depot Kids Workshops are held on the first Saturday of each month from 9:00am to Noon. It is possible that your local store will have different hours, but this seems to be the norm.

Who are these free workshops for?

These free Home Depot workshops for kids are aimed at kids ages 5-12, though they do not check ages.

I took my twins as young as age 4 because I knew they had the dexterity to do that month’s project. And older kids often need help from a parent or the instructor as well! Just make a judgment call based on your child.

What happens at a Home Depot Kids Workshop?

Kids are given a craft kit plus the space and tools to work on it. Keep that in mind so you don’t show up too late in the session!

All kids get to keep their craft, receive a FREE certificate of achievement, a Workshop Apron and a commemorative pin while supplies last.

What kinds of projects are there?

Typically, the project is connected to the season or holiday coming up. But occasionally, it is something random–like a fire truck or race car.

How do we participate?

You do have to register ahead of time, because the store often runs out of kits before the session is over on Saturday morning. Mark your calendar to check your store’s workshop listing a few weeks ahead so you don’t miss it!

Keep in mind that ALL attendees need to be accompanied by a parent or adult at all times.

What if we can’t make it to a free kids workshop?

Great news! You can also attend free kids workshops at Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores near you. Those are on a different Saturday of each month.

You can also purchase kids’ wooden project kits at the store, but I find that they are overpriced. You are better off buying your own wooden craft kit online, like these 15 Wood Kits like Lowes Kids Projects.
