Do you have a little aspiring carpenter in your family? Check out these FREE 2-hour carpentry workshops for kids in the Twin Cities starting this month! But respond quick – space is limited each month. Here’s the scoop:
Beginning in September, the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters is opening the doors of one of its largest training centers to the community in the form of “Kids Build” weekend workshops.
Kids Build events are two-hour workshops held from 10 a.m. to noon one Saturday per month September 2015 through May 2016 for children ages 5-12. At these workshops, kids will have the opportunity to make wood projects, as well as build their skills and confidence.
The workshops are limited to 30 kids each month, who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Council staff and members will be on hand to help children make their projects and learn new skills. Projects may include the following: keepsake box, small bench, bookends, toolbox, pinewood derby car, key holder/jewelry hanger, candy dispenser, planter or birdhouse.
Tools will be supplied and there are no fees to participate. Children will be able to take their projects home to enjoy, along with a certificate of project completion.
Kids Build workshops will be held at 740 Olive Street in Saint Paul MN. In 2015, workshops will be held September 12,October 10, November 14, and December 12. In 2016, events will be held January 9, February 13, March 12, April 9 and May 14.
