Home Depot Kid's Workshop

On the first Saturday of the month, Home Depot offers a free workshop for kids.
We went and had a great time! It was well organized, the kit of what to make was easy to work with, and the kids get an apron their first time to wear each time, and pin to document what projects they have made.
This was our first time, and the boys made Saving Sheds (little house like banks) Complete with a screwed in bottom piece to remove coins.
They helped hammer in the nails of each side and afterward we painted them.
I took the boys to a Lowe's workshop before. Those you are supposed to sign up for in advance, but have to sign up way in advance. When I went I didn't take Kevin and I struggled to make the Monster Truck project. Overall the set up of the project area wasn't as organized either. We will give Lowe's another try, but will definitely go back to Home Depot
