About Kids Workshops
The Home Depot Kids Workshops is a free hands-on learning experience that encourages skill-building and creativity in children ages 5-12. Skills such as following step-by-step instructions, working with hand tools like hammers and screwdrivers, and painting. The Workshops are hosted by store associates who also serve as Workshop Captains. Children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian to assist them with completing the workshop kit. The time for completing the kits varies but usually takes 30 minutes. Each child can bring home a newly constructed project, a Kids Workshops apron, an achievement pin, and a certificate. These Workshops are held on the first Saturday of each month, starting at 9am, while supplies last, in all stores nationwide. The Home Depot Kids Workshops schedule is available here. Be sure to register to secure your spot.
Every Kids Workshops kit comes with a related STEAM activity to continue learning and playing with your workshop creation in an unexpected new way. Completing these extension activities with your child can help spark their imagination and develop core problem-solving skills. Each extension activity also calls out a related Pro Trades career. Check out Science Fair Central to keep making, creating and exploring after the workshop.
