Stop by your local Home Depot this Saturday (March 6) from 9 a.m. to noon and have your child build a free rain gauge. Home Depot offers free kids’ workshops on the first weekend of every month. In addition to the completed project, each kid receives a free kid-sized orange apron and an achievement pin. See more about Home Depot kids workshops here.

Next Saturday, there will also be a free kids workshop at Lowe’s stores; see www.lowesbuildandgrow.com for more info.
