Free Monthly Build and Grow Clinics @Lowes | #BuildandGrow

This Saturday, August 22nd, my boys and I attended for the first time a free Build and Grow Clinic at Lowe's. These workshops are monthly and tends to sell out, but we went anyway and got on their waiting list. After the registrants all checked in, they opened up the waiting list about 15 minutes later, and they had plenty of kits for everyone. The children each received a complete wooden project kit, a free apron, safety goggles, patch, and more!

The instructions were really easy to follow, and it came with all the wooden pieces, nails, and stickers. Little hammers to fit little hands are available to borrow. Sometimes it was easier to just hammer the nails on the floor. Some of the families brought a blanket to sit on. I might do that next time we go, because it was easier to spread out. My suggestion would be to bring a bag to carry everything when you're done.

How fun is this? We built a Marvel Thor Chariot with moving wheels. The children received little Marvel masks that can be worn on top of their goggles, and a badge for their aprons. It was our first time, and it was fun to do together! I was sad to learn that it was the last of their Marvel collection series. I would have loved to collect them all!

For next month, they're building Fire Truck with Safety Cards on Saturday, September 26 at 10 am! (Just in time for Fire Safety Month in October). Registration opens up a few weeks before each clinic. Even if the event is booked up, you can still go and get on their wait list. These make really fun meet up with friends or a great Saturday morning outing with Dad OR Mom. Yes, I was helping too.
