I have two daughters and try to teach them as much DIY as I can.

Home Depot has Kid’s Workshops the first Saturday of each month from 9-12:00 AM.

They are usually simply wood crafts. The first time we went we build a simple planter. This weekend they had a firetruck! They give the kids a Home Depot apron and you get a pin and certificate when you complete the craft. Saturday we were in a rush and they were nice enought to give us the craft to complete at home. It took us at most maybe an hour to put the firetrucks together (I was juggling between both girls), and then they painted them.

I’m going to try to get up earlier on Saturday and make it to more of these!

• Since 1997, 12 million projects have been built at Kids Workshops

• Nearly 600,000 birdhouses have been constructed at Kids Workshops
• More than 290,000 children have built a step stool at Kids Workshops to help them reach higher
• 5 children per store attend a Kids Workshop on average while many stores have 200 kids attend regularly
