Children

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, May 8, 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 design and make a free Wonder Woman Mother's Day package to take home, including markers, stickers, and magnets. They'll also get a free ID badge, lanyard, and collector's pin, and a Master Medallion once they complete 6 crafts.

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 that day only. The coupon can be used either in store or online.

The next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot has been announced! You normally register ahead of time for these events, but now it's “first come, first serve.” Each local Home Depot is holding their event on different days and times.

April Freebie: Bunny Hanging Planter – Jump into the swing of spring by sowing seeds to grow your own garden in this bunny planter.

You can find more info on this month's free craft here. The Home Depot Kids Workshop lets all kids keep their craft and receive a free certificate of achievement, free Workshop Apron, and free commemorative pin while supplies last.

These workshops 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! 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!

Lowe's has figured out how to bring back the free kid's projects for the remainder of the pandemic. You can now register for a free DIY kid's kits to be picked up during the weekend of May 8 and 9.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Sign up your child today and they can make this cool Basket Planter! Add a flower and soil and they’ll have the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Reserved kits can be picked up in-store at our customer service desk on Saturday, May 8th or Sunday, May 9th. If your kit is not picked up by 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 9th, it may be given to a non-registered customer.

To register, click the blue “Find an Event Near You” button under “DIY Kids' Workshops” and locate your nearby Lowe's.

This is a pretty cool way to keep these monthly freebies going while also being safe from covid!

For over a decade, the free Lowe's Build & Grow workshop clinics were a staple monthly freebie. Just like the free Home Depot Kids Workshop, you could take your children to Lowe's on certain weekends and come away with a cool, custom built freebie. They shut the program down in 2017, so it's really nice to see them bring it back!
