Woodworking



Home Depot (1st Saturday of the month) and Lowe's (2nd Sunday of the month) offer free woodworking workshops for kids. The kids get to make a project and when completed receive a certificate and a pin (HD) or a patch (Lowe's) for their work aprons (they receive those the first time they go). The projects are fun to do and they have made so many things. This month they made planters (which they spray painted with a pretty awesome type of "rock" paint) at Home Depot and the photographs show the ant farms they made at Lowe's. In the past, they have made banks, napkin holders, Christmas card holders, castles.... Kiddos 1 and 2 made their projects with little or no assistance from their Pop-Pop and I. They are getting really handy with their hammers!

I had no idea - what an incredible opportunity! I will have to check this out in our area - the boys look like they are having a blast!
