Treats by Tanya: Saturday Workshops for Kids

*I am not compensated in any way to promote activities in this post. This post is based on my views and opinions.

Our family loves both Home Depot and Lowe's for fostering workmanship in children by hosting hands on workshops and the opportunity for them to earn badges/pins and certificates of achievement.

Love Note Holder ~ Lowe's Build & Grow

Here is a picture of craft ~

My boys working on their note holders at the workshop. They loved how it their project came with a stick of chalk, so on the way home they had a blast playing tic-tac-toe with each other. Unfortunately, mommy got to have an asthma attack while driving! (No worries, living in Arkansas I've learned to keep my emergency inhaler on me at all times). But not only did the boys have a great time, their completed workshop projects I grade for their Life Skills course! Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!

My boys were particularly excited to make...The Claw!
