Home Depot Kid Workshops

If you are like me and have kids, then you know how quickly family outings can add up financially. I have been thinking about taking my kids to one of those ceramic painting places like Ceramic Cupboard but, I have to plan it into a weekend where I won't be doing very much spending. It's not that it's very expensive but $10 times 3 kids is $30. And, I've over spent my budget many times on too many $30-$50 activities with the kids. That is why I jump at the opportunity to do free crafts or community events with my kids. In my articles, I like to give ideas about things you can do with the kids that are free so that we can all get out there and enjoy more time with our kids without breaking our budgets.

I went to the Corona Air Fair on October 7^th. It's an annual free event open to the community to promote interest in aviation and in the Corona Municipal Airport. It was a great event worthy of its own article. One of the things my kids and I really enjoyed about it was the Kids Workshop held at the Home Depot booth. Kids got to assemble and paint pre-fabricated kits of their choice of an airplane, helicopter, or space shuttle. Of course, parents got to help so it was just as much fun for parents as well as for the kids. I liked that my kids were learning something new. My husband is a handy man so they have seen him do all sorts of projects and they have done some with him but, it was still nice for them to have a kit of their own to put together and take home. It was also fun to see other parents get so involved in the projects they take it over from their kids and as their inner child hammers away.

The kids also received a free Orange kid sized apron and project pin. I learned that Home Depot has free kid workshops on the first Saturday of every month from 9 am to noon. And, kids get a different new pin after completing the various crafts. I left there excited and looking forward to the first Saturday of the month. I knew then what my article was going to be about and I was able to get this one out on time.
