One of things
I like to do with my son on the weekends is attend some of the free
building workshops that are available locally. If you haven't checked
any of these out, I highly recommend you give them a shot.
Lowe's and Home Depot both offer kids workshop clinics. They
usually hold them on Saturday mornings and they take about 15 minutes
but it's a great excuse to get some of your shopping done and give your
kids something to enjoy and bring home with them. You can usually just
walk into the Home Depot clinics, Lowe's limits the number of
participants so it's best to sign up online beforehand to ensure your
child has a spot.
Most of the projects involve simple wood, glue, nails and screws to
assemble anything from firetrucks to bird houses. They tend to be
relevant to each season and both stores provide a list of upcoming
clinics so your kids can choose the ones they want to attend. They even
give the kids a little apron and either badges or pins for each clinic
they successfully complete.
