Kids Workshop at Home Depot
All Home Depot stores offer a FREE Kids Workshop on the first Saturday of every month. The “How-To” Clinics are designed for children 5 to 12 years old.
The Kids Workshop offers useful projects including the creation of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence frame kit.The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. 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.
The Fairfield Home Depot is located at 541 Kings Highway Cut-Off.
The next Kids Workshop project is Saturday, May 1 from 9am to noon:
