Free Home Depot Kids Workshop


Saturday, March 7th is the next Home Depot Kids Workshop for FREE! This month they are making a raceway for race cars. You do not have to register you can just show up to this workshop. Your child will also receive a free Home Depot apron and a pin to add to their apron for each project them make over time.

I thought I would share our experience from last month though. Last month they were hosting a valentines project for free. We showed up about an hour into the allotted time frame to find that all projects had been passed out already, actually right when they opened the host said. They did have back up projects (old ones) for the children to do, which was just fine. But, if you really have your mind set on this months project you do want to plan to arrive at the start time to ensure you receive that project. I also noted many people showed up for a project & apron and left with it - they did not do them on sight. Maybe that is part of the problem? Not sure, but just thought I'd share our experience.

  1. That is *really* cool! This will be our second Pine Wood Derby too, good for practice. Thanks for the heads up!

  2. I was in Home Depot in S Hill on Sunday and they had a sign up sheet for both classes, saying they could only accept 20 people per class, since they had such an overwhelming response to the previous ones. There were a number of people signed up already, too.

  3. I am glad to hear that since our last class was a bust on the posted project. They must be getting ready to move over to registration like Lowes, which is really nice! :) Thanks for the tip Jen!
