The next free Michaels Kids Workshops will be held from 1-3pm on Saturday, Feb. 22! These free events are designed for children ages 3 and up. This week, they'll make a free Clothespin Fairies craft toy to take home.
All supplies will be provided for free, so all you need to bring to your nearest Michaels is your imagination and maybe a kid so you don't look out of place.

On Saturday, February 22, kids ages 4 to 9 get to try hockey for free at over 350 USA Hockey locations in celebration of National Hockey Week! Particpating locations will have limited equipment available to use, so you won't stress over building a homemade pair of ice skates using butcher knives and duct tape.
As a kid, I swore I hated sports and would never play them. Against my extremely vocal protests, my parents signed me up for baseball and 30 years later I couldn't be happier that they did. Who knows, maybe your kid is the next Wayne Gretzky and will only discover their love for the game thanks to this freebie!

Registration is open for the next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot. It's being held on Saturday, March 7 and children will build a free pair of binoculars.
Set out on an adventure with your child in this Binoculars Workshop. Kids develop hands-on skills by gluing, hammering and more. With help from parents and Store Associates, your child will create their own pair of binoculars to take home.
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 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!
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!
You can get the first season of Learn Along with Sesame Street for free on Amazon for a limited time! Simply click on the “Buy Season 1 SD $0.00” button and you'll be able to view all 10 episodes. Err, more likely, you'll be able to let your kids view all 10 episodes while you get a few moments of peace and quiet.
0Join your favorite Sesame Street characters as they learn, play, and grow. Elmo and his friends explore an exciting range of topics, from getting ready for school to discovering the wonders of learning with music. So sing, dance, and Learn Along With Sesame.
For almost 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.
Unfortunately, Lowe's cancelled most of these events in 2016 and put the final nail in the coffin by 2017. 😢 About a year ago, I started hearing rumblings that they were on their way back. This past summer, they were rolled out in very limited locations. Not perfect, but it was a good sign trending in the right direction.
Today I noticed the next free Lowe's DIY Kids Clinic will be held on Saturday, February 8 and registration was open for all the random zip codes I checked!
Free Love Note Holder
Valentine’s Day is almost here! This month’s project is perfect for holding all your child’s Valentine’s cards and treats! Sign them up and join us on Saturday, February 8th! Space is limited, so register today!
To see if your store is participating, enter your zip code here, then click on the “DIY KIDS' WORKSHOP” button next to your store.
And like I said, don't forget about the free Home Depot Kids Workshop still running! This monthly, free workshop occurs from 9am-noon on specific Saturdays. Kids are provided with all necessary equipment and safety gear and get to take home their free masterpiece!
I'll keep both this Lowe's and the Home Depot posts updated with each next free session, so keep them bookmarked and check back often.

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, January 11, 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 height chart to take home. They'll also get a free ID badge, lanyard, and collector's pin.
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 January 11 only.

The freebies were lame this week, so here's a consolation teacher-only freebie.
Signups are open for next year's free Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures classroom kits. They usually ship around February each year. The kits contain a video and other easy-to-use classroom materials, plus Colgate toothpaste and toothbrush samples for 25 kindergartners or first-grade students.
I presume the video is a guide on health care, not Die Hard 3.

On Saturday, November 23 at 2pm, Barnes & Noble is hosting a free LEGO Frozen 2 Build Event. This free kids event is geared towards kids ages 8-12 and they get to build & take home their own LEGO castle. Make sure to register today, since space is limited.
Don't think Barnes & Noble forgot about the parents though! These events typically give a free Starbucks tall, hot or iced coffee at B&N café stores after registering.

If you're a Verizon customer with home wireless or Fios, then you get a free 1-year subscription to Disney+ – a $69.99 value!
I'll be honest – I do not get the whole Disney+ freakout love affair going on right now. Wow, movies that were already available online, both legally and … freely. Wow! Movies from the 90s! I can't wait to shell out more money for this on a monthly basis!

Sign up your child for a free NBA Jr. account that comes with a free mousepad! Anybody else feel like this freebie is straight out of 1996? Maybe we'll also get a free AOL CD with 100 hours of Internet!
Now is a great time to sign up for the free NBA and NHL kids sports clubs too.

FEMA is giving out free Sesame Street fire safety coloring books. This educational freebie comes with the whole Sesame Street gang, including Elmo and apparently Ernie's big brother?
This fire safety coloring and activities booklet is intended for children ages 3-5. Grownups ages 18-120 can still color it and learn fire safety tips too!
