Kids Workshops are free “How-To Clinics” designed for children ages 5-12. The workshops are offered on the first Saturday of each month between 9:00 a.m. and noon at all The Home Depot stores. Children accompanied by an adult construct projects from pre-fabricated kits. The kits are designed to be both educational and practical.

The Home Depot’s Kids Workshops offer useful projects including the creation of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence frame kit.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates’ aprons, and an achievement pin.

Fun Facts

  • Since 1997, 12 million projects have been built at Kids Workshops
  • More than 750,000 children built their first toolbox at The Home Depot
  • Nearly 600,000 birdhouses have been constructed at Kids Workshops
  • More than 290,000 children have built a step stool at Kids Workshops to help them reach higher
  • 75 children per store attend a Kids Workshop on average while many stores have 200 kids attend regularly

]]> http://avissafety.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=27 Activities You Wouldn’t Think Require Safety Glasses, But They Do http://avissafety.com/blog/?p=26 http://avissafety.com/blog/?p=26#comments Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:59:29 +0000 jerry http://avissafety.com/blog/?p=26 I’ve come up with several activities where you think you might not need safety glasses but you really should be wearing them.

Gardening:
I was pulling out some shrubs and got a small branch in the eye. Luckily I closed the them in the nick of time. I went straight to the garage and put my safety glasses on.

Cooking:
You wouldn’t think you need them for cooking. I managed to splash some Tabasco sauce in my eye while cooking some chili con carne. Man, I thought I would just about pop. A pair of safety glasses would have saved me a lot of agony.

Running Phone Lines:
I was running some low voltage phone line in the basement of my mother-in-law’s house when the wires came out of my hand and touched my forehead near my eyes. I got the surprise of my life when the sweat created a path for the current. The arced left a black mark and small burn.

These are just a few of the time that I didn’t think of wearing safety glasses and I was lucky I didn’t suffer damage to my vision.

The Moral of the story: Always wear your safety glasses, even if you think you won’t need them.
