Mark your calendars! On Saturday, December 14, stop by your local JCPenney between 11am-noon for the next free Kids Zone event. These free events are held by JCPenney on the second Saturday of each month. Just like my laundry cycle!

Your child will make a free G-Shirt to take home. They'll also get a free ID badge, lanyard, and collector's pin.

If you're anything like me, you're probably wondering what in the world a G-Shirt is. Don't worry, it's more than just a string. It's a Gingerbread styled Shirt. G-Shirt.

Oh… How did we not assume that right from the start… 😐

All necessary materials will be provided and you don't need to signup ahead of time. As a thank you for coming, parents also receive a 10% off coupon valid for October 12 only.

Registration is open for the next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot. It's being held on Saturday, November 30 and children will build a free stocking ornament.

Have fun making your own stocking ornament this holiday season. Using the pieces in this kit, you’ll learn to nail a frame to the inside of your ornament. The frame can hold any favorite small photo. With help from your parents and our Store Associates, you can paint your creation to make it truly unique. Don’t forget to add stickers for a final special touch.

All kids get to keep their craft, receive a free certificate of achievement, a Workshop Apron, and a commemorative pin while supplies last.

These workshops run from 9am-noon and are aimed at kids aged 5-12, though the age range is simply a guide instead of a strict rule. I can also confirm grown adults aged over 30 sometimes have trouble helping their little brother because I'm terrible with tools.

There are only a limited number of spaces available, so you need to register online ahead of time! Find your store, then scroll down and register. When I used to take my little brother, they didn't enforce a strict arrival time. We would often show up around 10am and have plenty of time to get the project finished before noon!

Home Depot Promotional Sales

While you're at the workshop, you might be interested in the latest online and in-store promotions at The Home Depot! Many of these deals are not tied to any event, with up to 75% discounts!

Home Depot also has a cool “Buy of the Day” section, where they offer one-day only sales at huge discounts. It's worth checking out, you never know what they have!

The next free Target kids event is on Saturday, October 26, from 10am-1pm. This PAW Patrol-themed event will be a Halloween gathering. Kids are invited to come in costume and trick-or-treat their way through the store, plus watch a featured episode of PAW Patrol featuring the Mighty Twins. There will be giveaways, treats, and more. What's “and more?”

*🤞 please be gold bars, please be gold bars, please be gold bars.*
