• "Don't know if you've heard or participated in the Home Depot Kids' Workshops yet or not. But they are a blast. They give the child a complete project kit which includes everything they need for materials to build something. They have work tables set up with hammers, wood glue, screw drivers and anything else needed. Plus they give them a work apron & pins for completing the project. I took all three this morning with DH & he worked with the older two while I helped (big time) the younger. They were so proud of themselves." -- FromSusan in Florida
