My daughter did this for 5-6 years (she collected a lot of pins for her apron). Yes, wet wipes and paper towels are a must. Also, paint the wood before building. Sure, kids might want to jump right in, but it works much better this way (all the corners and small parts are easier to get to). Don’t forget to take photos of the buildings. These memories will last a lifetime. Enjoy it while you’re young! – Adrianne, Hip Leader
We just did one of them. Here are some observations and tips from my experience at my local store. Things may be different for your store. It was a gun and we would definitely do it again.
– Everything is provided including the necessary tools (screwdriver, hammer, glasses, etc.). Some are small for children, while others are large for use by adults. My kids were crazy about the hammer, so be careful!
– Paints and brushes were also provided for the children, but there were no napkins or paper towels to dry hands, clothes, etc. Please bring your own wipes and napkins just in case.
– There is no set start or end time. Simply arrive between 9am and noon, go to your designated area/table, open your kit and get to work. I don’t know how they manage attendance, but when we got there there weren’t that many kids, but by the time we left there were a lot of kids. I was there. I wasn’t asked for my name or checked into a list, so it’s probably okay to just show up.
– HD staff will not actually tell or show everyone what to do unless you ask them to. This is not a guided class or anything. The instructions are very suitable for DIY, but don’t expect someone to walk you through the entire process step by step.
– The table got pretty crowded and cluttered with all the tools, parts, and other stuff, so I ended up going to an empty area on the ground nearby. It was much easier and quieter to drive nails into the ground compared to plastic tables. – Joe, Hip Leader
