Activities and Workshops for Kids
1. Home Depot Free Kids Workshop
A hands-on building experience where elementary and middle school students use real tools to create a project and take home something they built themselves.
2. Lowe’s Kids Club Free Workshops
Lowe’s Kids Club offers free DIY workshops and family activities for children. Students can build themed projects, practice problem-solving, and earn digital badges. Families generally need to create a Kids Profile in a MyLowe’s Rewards account and register for the workshop. Special events or take-home kits may have different requirements or costs, so confirm the details on the official Lowe’s page before attending.
3. KCLS Summer Reading Program
A summer-long reading challenge that encourages elementary and middle school students to read daily, explore new stories, and build strong reading habits—while earning fun rewards along the way.
If you know of a kid-friendly activity, event, workshop, reading program, or hands-on experience that would be helpful for elementary or middle school students, we’d love to hear about it.
Please email us at [email protected] with the activity name, age or grade range, location (or online), and website (if available). We’ll review it and do our best to add it to this page for other families.
