Kids Workshop at The Home Depot - School Bus Pencil Organizer and Soccer Game

Another month had passed and we're back at the Home Depot's Kids Workshop. According to their schedule, the kids were supposed to make a School Bus Pencil Organizer. I told my neighbors about the workshop and they've asked if I could bring their daughters as well.

My kids were excited that they will be creating something with their friends. I told them that since school is about to start, they could use a pencil organizer. Upon arriving at Home Depot, I was surprised that the kids were given a choice of what they want to build. Aside from the Pencil Organizer, there are also kits for the Soccer Game, Bird House and Periscope.

Daryl selected the School Bus Pencil Organizer, Daniel and Stephie selected the Soccer game while Izabelle selected the Periscope. Since Daniel and Daryl did the Periscope last month, I just took photos of the Pencil Organizer and the Soccer Game.

I find the School Bus Pencil Organizer useful so Daryl can put his pencils and crayons on it. He wants to paint it yellow to make it look more like a real school bus.

The Soccer Game is fun but the ball can be lost easily by kids. I had to search for one ball under the table at Home Depot because they dropped it.

Overall, the kids had another fun day at the Kids Workshop at The Home Depot. We'll be back next month since the kids like to show-off their pins on their Home Depot aprons. I told them that I saw a kid with more than 20 pins. I'm pretty sure they will want to do the same.
