Looking for a fun, educational, and totally FREE activity for your little builders in Binghamton, Vestal, or Johnson City? Check out the monthly Kids DIY workshops at Lowe's and Home Depot! These awesome programs are perfect for sparking creativity, building confidence, and fostering a love for hands-on learning in young kids.
The workshops are perfect for ages 4-11, but don't worry if your little one is a bit younger! With a helping hand and close supervision, toddlers can also enjoy the experience and build some lasting memories.
We've personally experienced the fun of both workshops. Most recently at Lowe's, our little carpenters received an apron and safety goggles before hammering together a festive "Holiday Delivery Truck" – complete with an iron-on completion badge. A few weeks prior to that, Home Depot treated us to an adorable penguin ornament kit, along with a snazzy orange apron and pin to commemorate the experience.
