It can be hard to find indoor activities for kids in the cooler months. Both Lowes and Home Depot offer FREE do-it-yourself workshops for children on a regular basis.

These FREE events take place in the stores.

Workshops are designed to let kids build a simple item like a toy or birdhouse, while learning basic building skills. There’s also a focus on using tools and materials safely.
