Get Crafty!

July 28, 2015

Have you taken advantage of any of the FREE or low cost craft activities and workshops offered for kids around the Lowcountry?    My boys absolutely LOVE going to Lowes and Home Depot for their workshop days.  The workshops are hands-on and they love being able to have the freedom to pound nails with their own special tools.  They have cars, banks and coasters galore from many Saturdays spent with dad bonding over wood, sawdust and tools.  It is one of our favorite weekend activities!  

Here is our list of FREE and low cost crafts and workshops, try one this week!
