Attending a kid’s workshop? Check out these SUPER helpful reader tips from readers…
My daughter did this for 5-6 years (lots of pins were collected for her apron). Yes, wet wipes and paper towels are a must to bring along. Also, paint the wood before you build. Yes, the kiddos may want to jump right in, but they turn out much better this way (easier to get all the corners/small parts). Also, don’t forget to take pictures of the building. These memories last a lifetime! Enjoy them while they are young! – Hip reader, Adrianne
We just did one of these and here are a few observations & tips from our experience at our local store. Things might be different at your store. It was a gun and we will definitely be doing it again.
– Everything is provided, including the necessary tools – screwdrivers, hammers, glasses, etc… Some of them are small for kids and some are bigger for adults to use. My kids went crazy with the hammers, so watch out!
– Even though they offer paint and brushes for kiddos also, there were no napkins or paper towels for cleaning hands, clothes, etc… Bring some of your own wipes, napkins, or whatever, just in case!
– There is no set start or stop time. You just show up between 9 AM and noon, go to the designated area/table, and open a kit to begin working. I don’t know how they manage attendance, but there weren’t many kids when we got there, but lots by the time we left. We were never asked our name or checked in on a list either, so you could probably just show up.
– The HD staff don’t actually teach or show everyone what to do unless you ask. This is not a guided class or something. The instructions are pretty good for DIY but don’t expect someone to walk you through the entire thing step by step.
– The tables got pretty crowded and cluttered with all the tools, parts, and other stuff, so we eventually just went to an open area on the ground nearby. It was much easier and quieter to hammer nails on the ground vs. a plastic table. – Hip reader, Joe
I must say I had never been to one of these but I signed up to take my 2 little ones and we went yesterday. I was amazed at how many kiddos there were! It was amazing!!! As soon as we walked into the store you could hear all the hammers pounding away! So awesome!!!
We got there about 10:30 (event is from 9-12) and they had already ran out of the Valentine Boxes so we got a piggy bank, which is fine, no big deal. But I did notice many parents were also doing the craft with the kids-the mom was doing the craft, the dad was doing the craft and each kid was doing the craft. I reckon this is why they ran out of the craft so quick. I wish they reserved this for only kids to do. I heard many of the little girls arriving after us upset that they couldn’t do the pink valentines box. So if you sign up, go early! Next month we will be there right at 9
That sounds like such an amazing experience, Laura!
The sound of all those little hammers must have been so fun! It’s a bummer they ran out of the Valentine’s boxes so quickly, but at least the piggy bank was a great backup. Definitely a smart tip to get there early next time! Hope you and your little ones have just as much fun at the next event! 
Laura- our store is also very crowded. They have the biggest turnout in the area (and there are 2 other stores within 10 miles!) We register every month. The woman who runs it is wonderful. She would never let the parents get separate kits. I definitely would speak to the store manager. They don’t want disappointed kids and certainly don’t want parents who would think twice about buying at HD.
