Home Depot Kid's Workshop-Feb.
This month's project: Football-Shaped Stool
Kids Workshops are free "How-To Clinics" designed for children to construct projects from pre-fabricated kits. The kits are designed to be both educational and practical.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, and an achievement pin.
