Home Depot DIY Workshops for Kids - Putting Green

 

Did you know that Home Depot offers free workshops for kids of all ages? The Manhattan location in the Flatiron District hosts the monthly series, on the 1st Saturday of every month. Though the location is not in Lower Manhattan, it is worth sharing, since its always a fun and worthwhile trip out of the hood.

Exercise mental strength with a game of tabletop golf. In this hands-on workshop, you and your child can discuss the mindset, jargon, and strategy of the sport as you build a putting green to master your hole-in-one. Once your course is built, your child can look fore-ward to decorating it with paint and stickers.

FiDi Families Insiders: Participants keep their craft, receive a certificate of achievement, a Home Depot workshop apron, and a commemorative pin (while supplies last).

Date: Saturday, June 1st

Time: 9a – 12p

Location: 40 West 23rd Street (Home Depot)

Ages: Recommended for 5 and older
