March Break Fun in Vancouver!

I have always had my eyes on the different projects that Home Depot offers kids to build at their monthly kids’ workshops that take place every second Saturday of the month (across Canada) since last summer.  Of course C was way too young back then but I kept telling my husband that when he’s old enough we must make it a daddy and son activity.

This past February, when we made a trip out to Home Depot for flooring tiles for our kitchen, we came across the poster for the upcoming workshop for kids.  At the time, I was still a bit hesitant about bringing C to the workshops as they advertise it as a 4+ activity.  Nevertheless my husband way was too excited about it (the handy man in him) and decided to bring him to it.  I'm glad that he did since C had such a blast.  Partly thanks to Bob the builder for making C super excited about using hammers and screwdrivers.

My husband has been bringing C out to these workshops since and he has always enjoyed it.  It has been such a great bonding activity.  C is always so proud of what he and daddy make at these workshops and can never wait to show the final products off to mommy when I get home from work!




You should definitely check these out with your toddler if your toddler is one who shows interests in using tools or has always wanted to be the little helper at home whenever you take the toolbox out.  The projects and the instructions are simple enough for any adult to follow and is a great way to bond with your kids.  That big smile the finish projects put on their faces makes it all worthwhile if nothing else!

Home Depot now offers these activities for kids everyday during March break (March 14-25, 2016, from 10am-12pm).  Be sure to check the schedule with your local store as we went to a different Home Depot the other day only to find out that they are only offering their workshops in the second half of the break.
