Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

On the first Saturday of each month, you can take the kids (ages 5 to 12) to Home Depot for some building family time. From 9am to 12pm, you and your tots can paint, hammer and construct different projects with the guidance of Home Depot staff. They’ll supply the tools and materials, you bring the can-do spirit. And kids come away with their finished project and one of those dandy orange aprons!

Home Depot has locations in Brooklyn (550 Hamilton Ave; 718-832-8553) and in Manhattan (40 West 23rd St;  212-929-9571).
