This week's project is the Frankenstring Magic Trick.
If you haven't been to a Lowe's workshop before, they are a lot of fun! Each child is given safety goggles and a mini Lowe's Apron to wear - and keep! The projects are packed up in kits, all ready to assemble. They say that the age is from 6-12, but we've been taking Dew1 for a few months now and while he clearly can't build them by himself, he's getting really good at hammering, and he enjoys putting on the stickers - both good Fine Motor skills for him to be developing.
It's a great project for he and DaddyDew to do together, and over time he'll get some good building skills.
When the project is complete, each child receives a certificate and a Badge - that is specific to each project - to sew on their apron. It's so cute!
So far, Dew2 has just been an observer, although he is quite interested in the hammer and steals it whenever he can. However, the next project is a NASCAR Car and Garage, so I've signed them both up - there is no way that it's fair for Dew2 to watch his brother make and play with something as neat as a car and garage, and not have one for himself! Looks like both MommyDew and DaddyDew will be building that day - and, if this is any indication, every day from there on out.
You need to register online - Here - and then print and sign a waiver to take with you. That's it! They are every other weekend.
Have fun!
By the way - Home Depot does a similar kid's workshop once a month. I'll let you know when that is coming up!
