Local Libraries
Your local libraries offer a variety of programs to entertain and educate. All ages are accommodated. Rather than list everyone everywhere, I suggest you make a habit of going into your library on a monthly basis and get the latest calendar of events.
This is a great resource that can allow children to work on a project with a parent of other family member, enjoy story time or a special event all for free.

Lowe's Build and Grow
Lowe's is a national company that offers children the opportunity to work with tools, under adult supervision. Twice a month these young builders come with their adult partners and build a quality toy from a kit provided free of charge from Lowe's.
The
children are supplied with an apron, googles, and hammer. They are
allowed to keep the apron and googles but must return the hammer when
they are ready to leave.
Upon
completion of their product they can leave with their completed
project, a certificate of completion and the experience of building
something with their own two hands.
The name of this national program is Lowe's Build and Grow. To register, go to Lowesbuildandgrow.com .
We attended the Lowes in Everett, WA on Pacific Street. They are scheduled every two weeks. Check the site for the next time time to register and attend.
