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.

Registration is open for the next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot. It's being held on Saturday, February 1 and children will build a free heart string art.

Create a loving memory with your child at our Heart String Art Workshop.

As you help your child piece together the symbol of Valentine's Day, they will develop hands-on skills by sanding, nailing, painting and more. Celebrate the moment as your child makes a unique keepsake.

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!

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!

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.
