How It Works

From registration to bringing home a finished wooden project — here's what to expect at a Lowe's Kids Workshop in Ocala.

1

Register Online

Visit Lowes.com and search "Kids Workshop" to find upcoming events at your preferred Ocala location. Registration opens several weeks before each event — spots fill quickly.

2

Arrive Early

Check in at the workshop station inside the store. Arriving 15–20 minutes early gives your child time to get settled and receive their materials without feeling rushed.

3

Build the Project

A Lowe's team member guides kids through each step of the build. All tools and materials are provided. Parents assist younger children while older kids can work more independently.

4

Earn Rewards

After completing the project, kids receive a commemorative apron patch, safety glasses, and a completion certificate. Projects are ready to take home and display.

What Kids Build

Projects rotate each month so kids can attend multiple workshops and build a growing collection. Past projects have included:

Birdhouse
Toolbox
Planter box
Racing car
Picture frame
Pinwheel
Step stool
Garden marker
Treasure chest
Flower pot stand

Project selections are decided by Lowe's corporate and vary by season. Check the Lowes.com workshop page for the current month's featured build before registering.
