Registration is now open online for a free DIY kid's workshop to be held on Saturday, January 17 from 10am-1pm. There are 45 minute time slots and you can pick which window works best for you. Here's the signup link.
So what's the upcoming workshop going to build?
January 2026 Event – Washing Machine Bank – Start the new year with a spin! With Lowe’s Washing Machine Bank workshop, your kids will get to create a coin bank that spins your laundry with every coin saved. Mini-builders will learn about construction and saving money while they combine creativity with practical skills. A fun way to kick off the new year!
It's good to get kids started on their “coordination and fine motor skills.” I never quite mastered those skills, as evidenced by my body always having no fewer than 28 bruises at any given time.
These popular free kid's projects with DIY kits available every 2nd weekend of each month! The suggested child's age ranges for the Lowe's DIY Kits are between 4-11. All supplies and instructions are included, making it a fun children's task to complete.
New in 2026, Lowe's gives digital badges to kids who complete workshops. Kids also get a free organic lollipop with every trip by visiting the customer service desk.
Continuing this year, Lowe's gives kids who attend these workshops regularly the ability to earn badges towards a free tool bag! The nitty gritty fine print can be found here, but long story short once you've earned twelve badges, you'll be issued a promotional code redeemable online for a free kid's tool bag or product of similar value.
Lowe's Kids Workshop History
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 were in-store workshops though, where attendees could make awesome projects right in Lowe's with the provided tools, safety gear, and work space. Then 30 minutes later the kids would always get to take home the cool toy craft they just made along with a collectible commemorative pin. They even gave coupons and discounts to workshop participants!
They shut the program down in 2017, but eventually brought them back and are still going strong in 2025. I really hope you and your family are able to keep enjoying these freebies for many years to come!
