Hi gang today was the first saturday of the month and The Home depot had a workshop for kids. Today they got to build a Firehouse bank:)

The theme this week was Fire Safety:)

At the workshop today they had a firetruck and the fire safety house.

 

 Here they are working hard and building thier firestation banks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here they are showing off thier new banks they built.:) After they completed thier banks they recieved a certificate and a pin to add to thier aprons:)

 

 

 

 

 

This is the fire safety house, it blows smoke and it teaches the kiddos what to do in case of a fire. it also teaches them about fire alarms and how to keep them up to date and how to change the batteries in them often.

 

 

 

 

 

The kiddos also got to climb and explore a fire truck. They liked the siren the besst..

 

 

 

 

 

If you have never gone to a Home deopt kids workshop, they are free and they are the first saturday of every month.The next one will be held November 7th from 9am to noon at your local Home Depot store.

Have you been to a kids workshop, if so what did your kiddos make??

You now I have yet to do this with my kids. But once I move back to Ohio There is a Lowe's who offers something similar for the kids.I think I will start signing my kids up.

I really enjoy reading about your kids adventures at Home Depot and inspires me to allow my kids a try at it soon.

Very cool. We try to go when we can. Also, Lowe's has one the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. Not as nice projects, but still fun for the kids.

I think it is so great that they offer these workshops to children, and some to adults as well. Home Depot is my favorite place to shop.
Sarah (I want points) Oct 3, 2009, 3:40pm EDT
Neat! IT's fabulous that they do that. Looks like fun.
Dagmara H. Oct 3, 2009, 4:12pm EDT
that was a great idea

I am so glad that Home Depot is doing this. Besides learning topics such as fire safety, they're learning how to use tools and build things. Excellent preparation for the future.
♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. Oct 4, 2009, 1:28am EDT
Yes, it is:)
Marsha S. Oct 3, 2009, 6:53pm EDT

I used to take my kids. I still have the adoreable little Thanksgiving Salt and Pepper shaker holders they made me.
Brittney R. Oct 3, 2009, 8:00pm EDT
I have never taken Elliott to one of these, but I hope to eventually.
Monica H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:29pm EDT
Sounds like a great day for you and the kids. That's a neat program they put on.
Risa G. Oct 3, 2009, 10:58pm EDT
I think it is terrific that Home Depot has these things for children. It is a great way of teaching them how to take care of themselves.
Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 10:59pm EDT
Great day for the kids. It is a learning experience that they will remember.
Bridget ♥ Oct 4, 2009, 12:18am EDT

We haven't done this yet. Is it fun? Doesn't Michael's do something like that? Or is it Hobby Lobby? I will have to get signed up. Thanks.
