Home Depot Kid's Workshops

Home Depot does a free Kid's Workshop on the first Saturday of each month. It's a fun little project for the kids to do (with help from mom & dad if necessary). Mike had been taking Alex off and on for about a year. We decided that Ben was finally old enough to join in the fun. In truth he is still a bit young, but he does pretty well. So in September we all went for the first time. The boys made little stands that held a couple of flags. The project for October was toy fireboats. The projects are always wooden and involve nailing, sanding, glueing, sometimes screws too.

The fun part about October's project was that they had firemen and paramedics on hand to show off their stuff to the kids. There was a firetruck in the parking lot the kids could go on, they got little fire hats and they got to see a first response helicopter up close. We actually were right there when the helicopter landed.

All Home Depot's do this every month so if you have kids check it out sometime.
