As a parent I am always looking for fun activities that I can do with my children, most especially in the Winter months. During the warm weather months I can easily take them to the park, playground or pool for a few hours. In the Winter time there is only so much you can do. Therefore I am especially interested in indoor activities.
Michaels, North America’s largest arts and crafts specialty retailer, will host a FREE The Knack Free Family Fun event on Saturday, January 8 to give everyone in the family a chance to get out of the house and put their creative skills to work.
ALL 1,030+ Michaels stores will host a Pinewood Derby Finishing Workshop Event from 10 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, Jan. 8. Families can bring in their own Pinewood Derby cars or purchase one. Michaels will provide all the finishing touches to add some flair. Kids can also make a colorful pennant to cheer on a favorite team and decorate their room.
The Knack is Michaels’ kids program that encourages kids to explore their creativity through a wealth of great ideas, projects and crafts designed just for them. Every child has a knack for something.
You can find additional information on The Knack, The Knack Free Family Fun events and get additional kids project ideas at www.Michaels.com/TheKnack.
It sounds like it could be fun. I especially like that it would be of interest to boys, as well as girls. My son already has a Derby car from a Boy Scout event from many years ago. Of course it looks nothing like the awesome car pictured above. I also like that its a FREE event. With so many families struggling to get from paycheck to paycheck a FREE family event is great.
