Crafty Kids: Home Depot Kids Workshop

Kids and Crafts go hand in hand. It gives them ways to explore things beyond reality. It lets their imagination go far and beyond what we think they could, and ofcourse it is a lot of fun for both parents and kids. To top that off, it is a time to bond with your kid and have a good family time.


With that in mind, I do let my daughters do a lot of craft at home and of course they do plenty in schools too. However one of my fav places to go to is Home Depot Kids Workshops. They have special themed kids workshops, first Saturday of the month, and we always look forward to it. I sign up as soon as we are done with one. All you do is sign-up and show up at home depot at 9:00 am. They will take care of the rest. At the end you get to take home the craft you built, a certificate and a badge(a little token to show-off)

 I have had great experiences there as they try to accommodate all the kids that show up. The workshops are theme based, and they will have something for all the kids to work on even if they run out of the original themed craft materials. One shutout to Home Depot for doing it, and making all the kids excited to learn and explore.

PS: We made out Fathers Day Trophy here :)

Fun Summer Reading


Summer is a time when kids are off School for a longer duration, and finding the right thing to do is always a challenge to all parents. I tired to do some research and see what is available out there for reading as I already want kids to read and be read and how much it helps them to learn and grow. I signed all 4 kids at home, that includes a pre-schooler, 1st grader and 6th grader to READ FOR THE WIN. For kids who like to read, its fun to read and win something for reading, but I liked the way this program caters to pre-schoolers too. All you have to do is fun actives with your Pre-schooler like reading, dancing, walking, drawing and earn points for doing so. It just tells us how small things make the biggest difference in life.

My kids are already having fun reading, have you signed up yet for your kids @READ FOR THE WIN.
