Weekend Craft Workshops


I wanted to tell you all about a fabulous, free, fun craft activity you can do each month. They happen and Lowe's and also at Home Depot. The photo above is from Lowe's (made by Kaitlyn). I haven't taken a photo of Brayden's latest creation at Home Depot, but it is a wood car that he painted and put together. It looks like this:



These happen on different Saturdays of the month, so you can do both stores if you want to. They provide the items, you provide the child :). You get an apron at each store (though Home Depots is honestly a better apron). At Home Depot, you get a pin to put on your apron for each project completed. At Lowe's, you get a patch to sew on your apron for each project completed.

  1. I had no idea! This is going to be great! The funny thing is, we got a Lowe's apron at Goodwill or a garage sale because Xander needed an extra one. It had a patch in the pocket from one of those projects, although we just had no clue what the apron or patch was for.
