The Home Depot Free Kids Workshops
South Bay’s Home Depot in Torrance Hosts Kids Workshops
Home Depot Kids Workshops offer a free, hands-on learning experience designed to inspire creativity and skill-building in children ages 5-12. Participants develop practical skills such as following step-by-step instructions, using hand tools like hammers and screwdrivers, and painting. Each workshop is led by knowledgeable store associates, known as Workshop Captains, who guide children through the process. A parent or guardian must accompany each child to assist with completing the project kit, which typically takes about 30 minutes to finish.
Every child receives a newly constructed project to take home, along with a Kids Workshops apron, an achievement pin, and a certificate of completion. These workshops are held on the first Saturday of each month at 9:00 AM, while supplies last, at Home Depot stores nationwide. Registration is recommended to secure a spot.
