Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops (formerly known as Lowe's Build and Grow) are increasingly popular for parents. Not only are they free to attend, but kids have a blast testing their DIY skills. And for parents, it’s surprisingly fun to watch and help out. In other words, these events make our list of top Lowe’s hacks for a reason.
While there isn’t a fully announced workshop yet, Lowe’s is teasing the next Kids’ Workshop with a message that says “Something BIG is Coming!” The Lowe’s website lists an in-store event on Jan. 5, 2026, but project details and registration haven't been released.
Lowe's workshops are similar to Home Depot Kids’ Workshops and free Michaels classes. Each monthly event gives kids a different project to tackle. Some of their past workshops have involved building toy trucks, butterfly biomes, and tic-tac-toe games. Lowe’s also has a Senior Builders program, which may be moving to a digital format that rewards kids for how many workshops they attend.

Lowe's DIY-U Kids' Workshops are free monthly events where kids can build a project on a Saturday.
During the monthly workshops, everyone gets a kit filled with building materials. With their safety goggles on, kids get to work on building their projects at the in-store wooden tables. Lowe's has a different kit to build each time, and they typically follow a seasonal theme.
Lowe’s has hinted that upcoming workshops may include digital elements, including digital badges instead of physical ones. Participation may also require a free MyLowe’s Rewards account, though Lowe’s hasn't yet confirmed full details.
Lowe’s holds kids’ workshops on one Saturday per month from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. You have four sessions to choose from within that timeframe:
-
10 a.m. – 10:50 a.m.
-
11 a.m. – 11:40 a.m.
-
11:45 a.m. - 12:25 p.m
-
12:30 p.m – 1 p.m.
Kids’ workshops at Lowe’s are best for ages 4 - 11, but kids of any age can attend. No one checks birthdays at the door (at least not yet). Visit Lowe’s DIY-U page to sign up for workshops.
The next Lowe’s Kids’ Workshop hasn't been officially announced yet.
On the Kids’ Workshops page, Lowe’s currently lists a teaser that reads “Something BIG is Coming!” with an in-store date of Jan. 5, 2026. Project details and registration aren't available yet.
Once Lowe’s posts the official workshop project and opens registration, we’ll update this page with all the details.

How to Register for Lowe's Kids' Workshops
You have to sign up for Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops ahead of time or else you won’t be able to attend. You can register online and reserve spots for up to four kids per event.
Here's how to sign up:
-
Create a Lowe’s Account: If you don’t already have one, create a free MyLowe’s account. (Based on early information, a MyLowe’s Rewards account may be required to register and participate in future Kids’ Workshops, especially if digital badges are introduced!)
-
Pick a Workshop: Visit Lowe’s DIY-U page to see which upcoming kids’ workshops are open for registration. You can register up to a month in advance.
-
Confirm Your Store: The form automatically defaults to a Lowe’s store in your area. Make sure it’s the one you’d like to attend or search for another store.
-
Complete the Form: Choose a time slot and select the number of kids attending, and then click "submit." You’ll get a confirmation email from Lowe’s shortly after.
KCL TIP: If you forget to sign up in advance, stop by your Lowe’s store when the workshop ends for a shot at leftover kits. They’ll usually hand out extras on a first-come, first-served basis.
How Lowe's Senior Builders Program Works
Lowe’s has a relatively new incentive program for kids’ workshops called “Senior Builders.”
Every time kids attend a full 50-minute workshop, they take home a physical workshop badge. Once kids earn six badges, they become Junior Builders. When they earn 12 badges, they become Senior Builders. Plus, they get a promo code for a free Kobalt Kids’ Tool Bag, which you redeem online.
To claim a Senior Builder badge and toolkit, kids need to submit their badges through Lowe’s Senior Builder Redemption Portal. Submission rules include:
-
An official Kids Workshop apron
-
At least 12 physical badges are attached to the apron
-
The builder’s name is clearly written on the apron
-
A photo showing the apron laid flat, with no faces or children visible
While some rumors suggest Lowe’s may eventually switch to digital badges and require a MyLowe’s Rewards account, for now the program still relies on physical badges. Kids will continue to earn badges at in-store workshops, and all Senior Builder redemptions go through the portal.
Previous Kids' Workshops at Lowe's
Lowe’s only announces three to four upcoming kids’ workshops at a time. But you can look back at previous events to get a feel for what seasonal projects they offer.

Lowe's Kids' Workshop FAQs
Are Lowe's Kids' Workshops free?
Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops are free to attend. You’ll just have to register for each event ahead of time from Lowe’s DIY-U page. You can reserve spots for up to four kids per workshop.
Lowe’s often gives out leftover kits right after each workshop. So if you miss registration, stop by your store after 1 p.m. on the day of the workshop and ask if they have any leftovers.
What ages are Lowe's Workshops for?
Lowe's gears kids' workshops toward ages 4 - 11, but no one’s checking birthdays at the door. Any child can attend these workshops.
What happened to Lowe's Build and Grow?
Lowe’s used to have a separate program for kids workshops called "Build and Grow." But now, kids’ workshops fall under their main DIY-U workshop program. Same concept, different name.
Does Lowe's have workshops for adults?
In addition to kids’ workshops, Lowe’s has DIY-U Workshops for adults. But instead of building a mini DIY project, you’ll learn home repair and maintenance skills. Not as fun, but potentially more valuable.
Lowe’s adult workshops are also free and take place in store. But not all Lowe’s stores participate, and you can’t register online like you can with kids’ workshops.
Check Lowe’s list of participating stores to find workshops near you; then call the store to ask about upcoming events.
Will Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops be digital now?
Lowe’s has teased upcoming digital changes, including digital badges and possible MyLowe’s Rewards requirements. However, workshops are still expected to take place in store. Lowe’s has not yet shared full details, and we’ll update this post once everything is confirmed.
