SECONDARY PROGRAMS & RESOURCES

If you are looking to keep your kids busy—without spending any money—then you should consider signing them up for an in-store class near you. The classes are free and held at locations all across the country. Smaller local businesses likely offer some too, so be free to check local listings.

Home Depot

Home Depot’s Kids Workshops happen every Saturday. Past projects have included model race cars, mail organizers, picture frames, and planters. Classes are free and also include an orange apron and an achievement pin.

These sometimes fill up quickly, so be sure to sign up as soon as you can.

Lego Stores

Each month, Lego Stores have free events for kids between the ages of 6 to 14 where they can come in and build a mini model, which they get to take home for free.

There is a limit of four children per household per event.

Lakeshore Learning Center

The Lakeshore Learning Center offers free arts and crafts classes for children ages 3 and older. These classes happen on the first Saturday of every month, and a parent or guardian must be present to look after the children and help as needed. No reservations are required.

Williams-Sonoma

William-Sonoma offers a range of cooking classes that take place a few times a month, and while a lot of them are aimed at adults, they also have classes for kids between the ages of 8 to 13. Most of the classes are free, though some do have a fee. And those fees are donated to a nonprofit.
