Here’s a genuinely free Saturday plan: Lowe’s is holding its monthly Kids Workshop on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and this month’s build is a Firefighting Plane. Kids build it, decorate it, and take it home — all free.
The details: workshops run 10am–1pm at participating Lowe’s stores, in 45-minute time slots you pick when you register. It’s aimed at ages 4–11, and a parent or guardian has to stay with their child (no drop-offs). Registration is through Lowe’s free MyLowe’s Rewards account — sign up, add a kids profile, and grab your slot. These fill up, so don’t wait until Friday night.
Two nice extras: every kid gets a free organic lollipop at the customer service desk on workshop day, and each completed workshop earns a Mini-Builder badge. Collect 12 badges and your kid becomes a Senior Builder, which comes with a free Kobalt tool bag.
Miss this one? The next workshops are already on the calendar: November 14 (Holiday Engine) and December 12 (Holiday Trolley Car). Same deal — free, same registration.
