Free-Bee Kid’s Crafts This Weekend
Over at Lakeshore Learning this Saturday (3.6.10), your little folks can create this cute kaleidoscope from 11a-3p. Go here to find your closest location.
Home Depot’s free-bee workshop this Saturday is a little wooden rain gauge. (Editor’s note: given the level of precipitation we’re suffering through, the gauge would overflow before we opened the door to put it outside. Bleh.) The workshop starts at 10am, go here to find your location and to register.
Free-Bee Crafts This Weekend…
Over at Lakeshore Learning, your little people can make this cute magnetic Valentine, 11a-3p. It’s a free-bee, one of the reasons I love Lakeshore! Get more info here.
And at Michael’s Arts and Crafts: Join us for a FREE Valentine’s Day Card Make It Take It. Purchase a Valentine’s Foam Mailbox and Michaels will provide supplies to decorate it. While supplies last. You can find your location here.
At the Home Depot, the free-bee kid’s workshop Saturday (between 9am and noon) makes this little wooden car display. (Someone at HD is a massive NASCAR fiend, seriously.) You can sign up for your closest location here.
Lowe’s Build and Grow Workshops will make this free-bee heart “jewelry organizer” NEXT Saturday, 2.13. I always promote Lowe’s well in advance because they fill up so quickly. You can sign up and find your store here.

Plan-Ahead Free-Bees for this weekend
Lowe’s holds a free Build and Grow clinic for kids twice a month, where they can build something to take home and it’s all free! This Saturday, your little people are making a Gingerbread House. Plan for December 5 from 10am – 11am, you need to book ahead, click here for more info.
Home Depot Kid’s Workshops are FREE workshops available the first Saturday of each month from 9-noon for kids age 5-12 (although some allow younger kids.) This month they’ll make a wagon. For no cost, your little one gets the kit, a kid-sized orange apron, and an achievement pin. More info here.
Going green for the Holidays…
…and I mean that literally.
Take your old Christmas lights to Home Depot from November 5th-15th and get a $3 coupon for each set (up to 5 sets) good on any energy efficient LED Christmas lights. Home Depot LED lights will be $5.97 during the dates above- or only $2.97 each after the trade-in coupon!
One of the nicest elements of this offer is that LED lights use up to 80% less energy than regular ones. I must confess to being partial to the old-school lights, but this kind of savings makes sense both financially and envoirnmentally! Look at how good you will be for Mother Nature!
Thanks again, A Thrifty Mom!

Get a crash course in home fire safety in a one-hour workshop offered by Home Depot on Sunday, October 18 or October 25 from 2-3 pm. It’s a free course, but you do need to register in advance here. Just ask anyone who’s had a house fire–THEY’VE already signed up!
