Little builder

A couple weeks ago, we found ourselves, as we often do, at Home Depot on a Saturday morning. We were walking down a main aisle when an employee smiled at Julie and asked us if we'd been over to the kids' workshop. Both Ben and I knew that HD does a kids' workshop every month, but neither of us had ever bothered to find out when it was, and Ben didn't realize it was free.

So we headed on over to it and sat down. Julie got a bag of freshly popped popcorn and a kit to build a battery sorter. It looks like a tiny tiny bookshelf. She's too young still to actually do the building, but she pounded the hammer a few times. She loves "helping" Ben when he's working, and she has her own tool set at home.

As part of the workshop, she also got a nifty orange apron and a pin with this month's project on it. We're definitely going back again next month.

Looks like you have a Builder Babe (vs Builder Bob) in the family. Good for Julie wanting to work with her dad!

How fun! I didn't know they had those.

We have been wanting to do that for like 2 years now and have never actually gone. They do it at Lowes too. Sounds like it's worth it.

I, too, have been wanting to do that. Let me know when the next one is.
