Home Depot is having a FREE workshop this Saturday, July 3, 2010 from 9am to noon at all Home Depot stores. They are geared towards children age 5-12, but the younger children will likely need some help from you.


The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, and an achievement pin.
