Home Depot Kids Workshop
Children can put together a free craft with a hammer and nails at this free event.
Young, budding do-it-yourselfers will get a chance to try out their skills at the East Windsor Home Depot this Saturday.
The free craft event, which starts at 9 a.m. and runs through noon, is held during the first Saturday of every month across the country. Kids who attend will be given a craft to assemble at the store with the help of a few nails, wood glue and a hammer. Children must be accompanied by a parent or an adult.
Just in time for the new school year, this month's craft will be a wooden pencil box.

Parents are advised to arrive at the event early, as there are a limited number of craft slots available.
Kids who complete a craft will be presented with a signed certificate of accomplishment, a Home Depot orange apron (just like the store's associates) and a commemorative pin that pictures the craft.

Kids can collect the pins to show which crafts they've created.
My daughters have already attended a few of these workshops and proudly wear their pins on their aprons each time they attend a craft event.
With a little help from me, my daughters have assembled a wooden race car, planter and flower pot holder.
The crafts also provide a fun activity home for children, as the crafts can be decorated with prints, glitter and stickers that you may have at home on hand after the craft events.
