Free Lowes Classes for Kids
Most Lowe’s stores nationwide participate in free DIY classes and workshops for both kids and adults. Their new Workshops for Everyone program offers several each month.
This program was previously called Lowes Build and Grow. Now it’s Lowe’s DIY Kids Workshops.
Where do I find out about Lowes Kids Workshops 2023?
Head to the Lowes Workshops site and put in your zip code to find a store near you. You’ll see the workshops listed for the current month.
When are the Lowes Kids Workshops?
Lowes Kids DIY Workshops are held the third Saturday each month from 9:00am – Noon. You can show up anytime before 11:00am as long as you’ve registered beforehand.
Plan to spend 15-30 minutes working on the monthly project.

Who are these free workshops for?
These free Kids DIY Workshops for kids are aimed at kids ages 4-11, though they do not check ages. I’ve seen kids both younger and older there, depending on the project. Just make a judgment call based on your child.
No matter what the child’s age, he or she must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the workshop.

What happens at a Lowes Workshop for Kids?
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 Lowes kids projects are there?
Typically, the wooden project is themed for the month. Occasionally, it is something more general–like a game or vehicle. Scroll down to see this month’s project.
How do we participate in a Lowes Workshop?
You do have to register ahead of time, because these events are very popular. It looks like they open registration for the following month on the second Saturday of the current month–before that month’s Kids Workshop. Set yourself a reminder to do it each month if your kids want to participate!
Keep in mind that ALL attendees need to be accompanied by a parent or adult at all times.

What is the next Lowes Kids Workshop?
The December 2022 workshop is coming up on Saturday, December 17th. It’s this wooden Jolly Holly Ornament! If you don’t attend, your kit may be given away to Walk-ins starting at noon.

2023 Lowes Kids Workshop Dates
Most stores are sticking to the “third Saturday” pattern in the new year. Check your local store on their website to be sure:
- January 21 – registration opens 12/12/22 – Snowman Picture Frame
- February

What if we can’t make it to a Lowes Kids Workshop?
Great news! You can also attend free building workshops at Home Depot near you. There are lots of stores that offer free classes, crafts and workshops.
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 under $5 each.

please update the 2022 Lowes Kids Workshop list above. The dates listed are incorrect. April's kit is on April 16, May's is May 7th. Not sure where you are getting the listing. Lowes seems to be changing their workshop dates - not consistent - it used to be the 2nd Saturday of the month. Also it would be helpful to have registration date for the next workshop, which has been inconsistent as well. This gets to be very confusing

Thanks for the heads up! They did the second Saturday of the month for 10 years now, so I'm not sure why it has changed. I just updated May and June.

Do you have a schedule of what the projects will be for each month?

Lowe's only announces each month's project a few days after the previous workshop.
