At the Office Depot Kids Workshop held on Sept. 2 – 3, 2023, all attendees got to color their own pages in the store. And the best part? The workshop was completely free — and each participant received a free 24-count box of Crayola Crayons (reg. $2.79).

 

Most recent workshops:

  • Sept. 3 – 4: “Color Your Summer” Crayon Event
  • Aug. 26 – 27: Design Your Own Backpack Tag Event

 

The Office Depot Kids Workshops happen in person at select locations.

Each Office Depot Kids Workshop takes place in person at participating stores, and your child will head home with their one-of-a-kind project and a sense of accomplishment.

Everything you need for this weekend’s project is provided. And unlike the Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops and the Home Depot Kids’ Workshops, you don’t need to register in advance for the Office Depot event. However — supplies may run out if you wait too long to arrive.

 

What time is the workshop?

According to their website, the event takes place during regular business hours (generally 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday).

 

Use the store locator tool to see if your store participates.
