The next free Kids Activity Kit from Home Depot is just around the corner. These in-store events take place on the first Saturday of each month from 9am to 12 noon, but this time they're offering a bonus event later this month which means the next event is Saturday, May 2! Space is limited, so you need to register a spot.
In addition to keeping the craft forever, each kit comes with a free certificate of achievement, free Workshop Apron, and free commemorative pin.
June 6, 2026 Workshop Event: Goalie Game
They forgot to update the monthly blurb for this. I image it has something to do with soccer goalies playing a game
You can find more info on this month's free craft here. These free craft kits are intended for 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.
Don't miss the free Workshop Extension Activity!
Each free kit also has an “extension activity” created in tandem with Discovery Channel Education. These are kind of cool, as they let your child “upgrade” the free craft they built. The May 2026 craft extension can be found here.
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.

Oops, I messed up the edit there. It’s a free truck 🙂
Already signed up last month. These classes fill up fast, I am assuming. I should have shared.. sorry Goob!
ROFL!
My son goes to these every time they have them. He has built so many interesting things. FYI: Home Depot has a Fire Fighter Helicoper for Oct 1st. Which is next Saturday.
My oldest son reminded me of this earlier this week, saying that we hadn’t done one in a long time. So we are registered and ready to go!! (like I care what they build?)
I just took my kids to this today – it was a lot of fun! We’re definitely going to sign up for more of them! Also, if you miss it, the kits are available for purchase in the store.
Awesome!! I love taking my cousins to these. They have fun and I don’t got to speed money!
This is fabulous actually! My kids would enjoy those!
Thanks!
Yeeah!! Ive been trying to figure out something to do tomorrow with my nephew who is spending the night tonight…this is perfect!! Thanks for sharing!
Went today and the kids loved it. We got free popcorn and Culligan bottled water too!
Hello Goob.
I really really really love it how you pt up stuff about events. I have a very active 9yr old boy and this kind of stuff keep shim busy.
To home depot and michaels on saturday! WOOHOO!!! Ü
Just wanted you to know I live in pittsburgh and they mentioned your website on the news…it was a feature about getting free stuff!! The news channel is wpxi.com…Thanks for all the great finds!!
Great for the kiddos!!
Nice way to spend a Saturday!
Love these! 🙂
Thanks for posting this! We take the kids (9 and 5) to these and to the Home Depot ones. They love it. My 9 yo decided to learn to sew – I let her sew the patches onto their aprons. To me, that’s an added bonus since it means the patches don’t end up scattered around. And they give both kids a sense of pride to walk in with more patches on their apron each time. (Home Depot gives them pins and they both put them on that apron before we even leave the store).
I take my children to Lowe’s workshops. They usually have two a month or every other week. In the winter, it seemed like only once a month.
Good times!
