[quote=Anonymous] My daughter loved those Saturday morning free project days at Home Depot. You show up at 10 AM or something and then hand you a package with pre-cut pieces and some tools and you build a bird house or whatever. Great way to get started. My sister is a single mom and she has taken classes at Home Depot to learn how to build raised beds, etc. It's also good to demonstrate to your kids that adults can learn things, and that sometimes when you are learning something you make mistakes and have to go back and see where you messed up the directions, etc. My husband and I recently put together a Pergo floor in our house, and we learned a lot. Also, buy some of that cheap furniture online from someplace like Wayfair and have the whole family get involved in putting it together. second the suggestion regarding girl scout camp. Great way to learn skills![/quote]
