The first Saturday of every month, Home Depot holds a free workshop for kids. (Lowe’s holds something similar, but you are supposed to register online, and it is always full when I try.) This past Saturday the kids made a planter.
Even though I like to do crafty things, I don’t like the mess. I have a hard enough time cleaning without major crafting going on. Being able to make a mess and have someone else clean up is a major bonus. (Tip: bring a cardboard box to transport crafts home that still have wet paint!)
