Lowe's Building Workshop for Kids

2 times a month, Lowe's holds a building workshop for kids. They will provide your children with a package containing the project that is to be built, a hammer, goggles, apron, a certificate stating that they did the project and a patch that can be sewed on. (One of my daughters likes for me to sew her patch onto her apron so she can keep track of what she had made).

Everything is theirs to keep EXCEPT for the hammer. If you cannot stay and build, you can stop by and pick up the packs so they can build them at home. Also you can check the your local store to see if they do happen to have left over packages from other projects that you can have for FREE. Sometimes they have extras and sometimes they don't.

But if you are interested in purchasing a building project for your children, you can buy them here: http://www.lowes.com/pl_Kid%27s+Building+Kits_4294825296_4294937087_

The kits are $5.98. I am not sure on the price of shipping, but they do offer free shipping if you purchase more than $49.
