Lowe’s Kids’ Workshop kits are fun activities for your creative kids (recommended for kids ages 4 – 11, but all ages are welcome), and they don’t cost a dime if you’re able to register ahead of time. Their in-person DIY workshops take place one Saturday a month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. And if you can’t stay for the whole workshop, you can register to pick your kit up and take it home.
The next Kids’ Workshop at Lowe’s will happen on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023, followed by another one on Jan. 20, 2024.
We’ve got a simple breakdown of everything you need to know about the free Lowe’s Kids’ Workshop Kits.

Just make sure to pre-register online before each class in order to qualify for this freebie, and keep all the apron badges that get handed out after each event.
Once your child reaches Senior Builder status, you’ll get a promo code to redeem online for the free kids’ tool bag.
If they complete six workshops within the same timeframe, they’ll get recognized as a “Junior Builder” and receive a Junior Builder apron badge and certificate (a $8 value).
