Parents, get back to the basics and get the kids out of the house and away from the TV and texting for a couple of hours and build something and bond with them this summer.

Both Lowe's and Home Depot offer kid themed projects designed for boys and girls from 5-12 years old. Let them work along side other kids and make a bird house, old fashioned wooden toy or stool.

Best of all its FREE!

Lowe's offers classes every Saturday at 10am and Home Depot's are offered the first Saturday of each month at 9am and noon.
