Home Depot Hosts Free Kids Workshop Across the U.S. This Saturday: How to Join

This Saturday, October 3, 2026, Home Depot will host a complimentary workshop for children in its U.S. locations as part of the Kids Workshops program. This event offers families a chance to build and paint a small project together, which participants can take home.

What's on the Agenda for October?

For October, the featured project is the Witch Candy Box, a witch-themed candy holder. Scheduled for Saturday morning, materials are available on a first-come, first-served basis. It's advisable to check with the selected store and complete registration before attending.

Workshop Timing and Suitable Ages

The session runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. local time. Although the time slot spans three hours, Home Depot estimates that constructing and painting each project typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the design and participant skill level.

Designed for kids aged 5 to 12, the program requires children to be accompanied by a parent or guardian who will assist them through the activity. Store employees facilitate the workshop, but adult involvement is a key part of the experience. For those wishing to bring children outside the recommended age range, it's best to check with the store in advance.

What Does the Free Workshop Include?

Home Depot provides all necessary tools and materials, eliminating the need for families to bring anything from home. Participants receive a finished project, a child-sized apron, a badge, and a certificate of participation, according to the official workshop details. Material availability is a condition of participation.

The initiative combines assembling pieces with decorating the final product. Home Depot describes these sessions as a way to introduce children to basic construction skills and tool usage through simple projects.

Registration and Finding a Nearby Store

To register, visit the official Kids Workshops page, navigate to the section for free in-person workshops, and click “Register Now.” Follow the form instructions and ensure the date and location match the activity you wish to book.

You can also use Home Depot's store locator, which allows searches by ZIP code, city, state, or store number. Store profiles provide addresses and phone numbers for direct inquiries.

Attendance and kit availability aren't guaranteed by simply knowing the workshop schedule. Home Depot advises registering and arriving early, as materials may run out.
