Build & Grow @ Lowe's

Last weekend we took the boys the Lowe's Build and Grow workshop. If you haven't been to one of these it's a great way to spend a Saturday morning and it give your kids something to do for the rest of the day because they are so excited to have a new toy. The best part about it... it's FREE! Yes Free! They are always on Saturday mornings at 10:00 am. I would recommend signing up though, that way you get a spot.  I have been told that they always have extras so you can always just walk in on a whim if you want.

How it works is, you sign a release (you can print this online when you register or they sign it at the store) take it with you to the store and they give you your building set. Find a place to work & get started.

This was our first time going and the kids had a blast. I was told when you go for the first time let them know this is your first clinic and they will give the kids a free apron & goggles they should bring back to the next clinic. You also get a patch and certificate of completion at the end of your project. You can sew the patch on your apron. Super cute idea but I have say I didn't see anyone with goggle or the aprons. 

Pull out the instructions and get building!

  







Ian did an awesome job. He didn't need much help from Dad at all.


















Leland & Mom on the other hand... We needed a little help. Let's just say, I'm not the best at following "building" instructions. We needed a little extra help from Dad. Thanks Dad!!

 Leland was great at sorting the parts out and I was great at putting all the nails in the wrong place, even if there were per-drilled holes. I am willing to admit that building is not my forte!  

Once it's all built add the stickers & you're good to go.
