For those of you who are Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinic regulars, this school bus project may seem familiar.

But this year’s design is souped up with extra features.  This school bus has a secret storage compartment and a chalkboard roof!

Your child can make this school bus for free at the Lowe’s Build and Grow Clinic.

The free workshop will be held on Saturday, August 28 at 10 a.m. at participating Lowe’s stores.

You should sign up in advance for these free workshops, and a parent must be present at the workshop with the child.

Each workshop runs about an hour and is geared toward kids in first through fifth grade. Many of the projects are completed in much less than an hour. My son has gone since he was 4 and he does fine with dad’s help. They always have a blast at these workshops and it’s fun to see how proud my son is of his projects!

The first 50 kids to sign up for each workshop will get a kit, work apron, and safety goggles for free. Kids also get a badge and certificate when they complete their project.
