Lowe’s Build & Grow

12
Jul 2009

On Saturday Zane and I headed over to Lowe’s for their Build & Grow Project. A couple times a month they offer a Free workshop for kids to come and build something. This was our first time attending so we didn’t really know what to expect. I woke up 30 minutes before we had to be there, and Ian decided to stay home and snooze, so Zane and I quickly got dressed and ran out the door!

When we got there I was really impressed! They had aprons and goggles for each of the kids, as well as a cool certificate and badge. We got our stuff and headed over to one of the tables that were set up with the projects. Today they were building a treasure chest. Each spot had a kit which contained nails and wood, a hammer and some stickers. We opened our supplies and pulled out our directions and at first I was a little nervous! I realized that no one was actually going to be helping us figure out how to build the treasure chest, we were pretty much on our own.
Here were our directions:

And Zane looking super cute, and I think slightly worried that we hadn’t brought his Dad along!

It ended up being fine though, the hardest part was being able to tell which piece of wood went where, but we got through it pretty easily! Zane did a great job hammering all the nails, and all I did was help hi figure out which piece of wood was which!

The finished project ended up being super cute! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun Free project to do with their kids! Zane got to keep his apron and goggles, which was totally worth it all on its own!
