Lowe's Kids Workshop

 

Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops (once called Lowe’s Build and Grow) have become a go-to activity for families — and it’s easy to see why! Not only are these workshops completely free, but kids get hands-on fun learning real DIY skills. Parents love them too — because let’s be real, helping your kid swing a tiny hammer is adorable and surprisingly fun. No wonder these workshops always make the list of top Lowe’s money-saving and family-fun hacks!

The next Lowe’s Kids’ Workshop is set for Nov. 15, where little builders will get to create a Letter Box craft.

These workshops are similar to the Home Depot Kids’ Workshops and Michaels free craft classes, and each month brings a brand-new project. Past builds have included everything from toy trucks and butterfly biomes to tic-tac-toe boards. Plus, Lowe’s recently launched a Senior Builders Program, rewarding kids for attending multiple workshops — a fun way to track progress and encourage creativity.

What Are Lowe’s Kids’ Workshops?

DIY-U Kids’ Workshops are free monthly events where kids build fun hands-on projects right inside Lowe’s.

At each workshop, kids receive a complete building kit — including wood pieces, nails, and instructions — plus safety goggles to make their DIY experience feel official. Then it’s time to get building! With real wooden tables, child-friendly tools, and guidance from parents and store staff, kids get to assemble their project step-by-step.

Every month brings a new themed kit, often inspired by the season or upcoming holidays — think birdhouses, toolboxes, games, and more.

Lowe’s hosts Kids’ Workshops one Saturday each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Within that window, families can choose from four session times, making it easier to pick a slot that fits your schedule.

Level Up Your Builder

Senior Builders Incentive Program

Lowe’s runs a fun incentive program for Kids’ Workshops called Senior Builders. Each time your child completes a full 50-minute workshop, they earn a collectible workshop badge to take home.

To qualify for each badge, you must register in advance and your child needs to attend the full 50-minute, in-store session.

Heads up: Lowe’s typically hosts one Kids’ Workshop per month. That means it’ll take at least 12 months of attendance to reach Senior Builders status.
