Of course I forgot my camera so there are no pictures of Kayla actually working on this project and banging away with the hammer! Although there are plenty of hammer marks all over this feeder!
The kids get to keep the goggles and apron; when you complete the project you get a patch to sew on your apron. Each time you go to one you get another patch to sew on the apron.
Kayla really liked the apron! She didn't want to take it off when we got back to the van, so she rode home with it on. She even left it on for about an hour after we were home.
She's putting the goggles back on for me to take a picture.
See what we made!
I think her grandpa would be proud! If he was here he would probaby ask what color we want him to stain the wood! :)
This was a fun project to do on a Saturday morning and I think we'll be participating in these workshops more often! Lowe's has 2 workshops a month.
You can also go to The Home Depot Kids Workshops too. They have one on the first Saturday of every month.

How neat! Kayla looks like she had a great time! Regarding the Buddy Walk...if you'll send me the link to your team, I'd like to also post that on my blog as well (if that's okay with you). Hope your having a good weekend!
What fun!!!
Kayla is so cute.
How awesome, it sounded like a great time and sooo cute. Praying for you! You are going to have so much to share, so many fun things. Pictures and wonderful events! I just know you are going to be blessed!!!
I had no idea Lowes (or Home Depot) did such a neat thing. With no little ones in the home any more, I am sadly out of touch. I'm going to tell my dils about this though. I think the grands would love it!
Tell Kayla she did a super job. And I love her apron and goggles.
Praying all of you are doing well.
How great....I need to check this out...I'm sure she did an awesome job and you are very proud.
That is very cool. I can't wait until The Biscuit is old enough to do these.
oooooooooooooo how fab! I wish we had a Lowes or Home Depot near us. That is totally cool! :)
She looks very proud!
Sounds like fun! What a great way to provide hands-on learning. Good for you for taking her out to do it!
So cute! I'll have to try one of those workshops with my girls! If you have a Michaels there too they do workshops for kids on Saturdays.
Too cool! I wanna go!
Oh neat, I didn't know Lowes did that! I'll have to ask my uncle about it (he works there) She looks so cute in her apron and goggles!
Awesome! You're such a good mama.
I love to see Kayla...how loved she is! I can imagine how happy she is! This sounds like such a fun day. I can't wait to check it out. Oh, BTW, when are you due?
Our kids love to go to the Home Depot events for kids. They've made 3 projects now. They always come home with a sense of accomplishment!
Hope everything is going well with you guys this week!
I have heard about that program. It's good to know that it is fun for the kids. Sometimes I wonder if these programs are well done/thought out.
I love the bird feeder! What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

looks like she had fun
How fun! I'm going to check these workshops out...my girls would probably love them!
Have a great rest of the weekend, Michelle!
these sound fun! Hope they still have them when we get back from China
Kayla looks so cute in the goggles and apron! What a fun activity to do! I must look around for something similar near us :)
She is so adorable! What a sweetheart she is "working"!
I came here from Renee's Ramblings. You have a beautiful little girl. My grandson Seth was born with Down. I went back and read your comments right after Kayla was born and can understand those feelings. You are so brave to be able to express them here. But, now as time has gone by I see you know Kayla is a true blessing from God. As time permits, I'll be back to read more of your older posts.
What a great project Lowe's provides for kids. All my grandchildren would really get a kick out of this.
What a fantastic idea, I wish we had a Lowe's here! Love it! Kayla is adorable, but isn't she always?!? (yes!)
:) T
What a great thing to do! Since my granddaughter's in Japan, I'm trying to think of any local kids around here I could take to one of these! Wonder if Lowe's would give ME an apron and some goggles. lol
Kayla's a cute as ever, too. Love a kid who can build something!!
she looks so cute! What a fun project to do!!
I keep trying to regester, but the site is being silly. The next project is a cute little picture frame. That would be perfect for John and Shaylee to do together. And it would giv me some time alone!
Tell Kayla she looks adorable. What a fun way to spend time with your little one. You have a very nice bird feeder too. Hammer markes are memories you'll never forget. Hope the rest of your weekend is just as great.
I'm going to have to look into this! My boys would love to beat, I'm mean build things with a hammer :)
oooooooooooooh I will have to check that out-that sounds too cool!!!
My son works at lowes and we have that apron lol. She looks like she had a great time.
I thought she was going to be a Princess? And this Gpa says blue. Glad you were able to talk to Joe. Thinking of you all.(4)lov
That is so cute!! I've heard of those but haven't taken any of my children to one.
How cute! I'm so glad she had so much fun. I'm sure it's good to take her mind off of daddy being gone.
I'm sure grandpa will have plenty of projects for him and Kayla to do the next time she comes to visit. He's always looking for a good little helper :-)
I love it. J used to work for Lowe's, so we have one of those aprons too. Actually, I dressed Kayla up as J (in his work outfit) for her first halloween (she was the spitting image of him). I think Kayla will enjoy those when she's a bit older. Love the pics.
:)
Thanks for the comments on the workshop. The Home Depot in our area does a similar thing and I've wondered about taking W.W. to it too. He's 26 1/2 months and I'm not sure that's quite old enough yet but I'm still thinking about it. He loves hammering things. ;)
hehe too cute!
She's so cute Michelle. What a neat thing for you to do with her. I hope you guys are hanging in there without your hubby around. SMOOCH!
