Kids learn crafting skills at local Home Depot stores

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Home Depot celebrated the 20th anniversary of Kids Workshop programs with celebrations at several Fresno-area stores.

Nationwide, the home improvement store holds these free workshops so children can learn life-long skills including sanding, hammering and painting all while having a great time.

On Saturday, those who attended were given the opportunity to build their own birdhouse so they could get a closer look at their backyard critters.

"Every project they make, they can keep. We're out here taking pictures, I bring a stereo, we play Kidz Bop. We have a lot of fun," Mahogany with the program said.

More than 200 children took part in the day's workshop. If you weren't able to participate, you can register for the next one online.

Home Depot holds a workshop every first Saturday of the month. More than 55 million kids workshop aprons have been worn since 1997 nationwide.
