Home Depot and Lowe’s offer free workshops every month on building and home improvement projects for kids and adults.
Hardware Workshops for Kids
Once a month you can take your kids or grandkids to a workshop as shown in the photo above. They will build and paint small projects like birdhouses and ornaments, and learn how to follow directions and use tools.

The Home Depot kids workshop is on the first Saturday of every month, from 9 am to 12 noon. Here is the schedule: Home Depot Kids Workshop Schedule
