Lowe's Building Workshops

We have discovered a new fun (and free!) activity: the kids' workshops at Lowe's.  They have one once per month and they provide an apron, certificate and the pieces you need to make a wooden craft.  The boys love it!  They also give you a little iron-on patch each time with a picture of the craft you made that day.  So far, we've made a birdhouse, a claw grab game, a recycling truck and a flower delivery truck.

I also learned a trick: you can just go pick up the kit and take it home to build later.  Good deal for the bargain price of $0.  I've now put each month's date on my calendar so hopefully we have more building dates in the future.
