My daughter usually leaves them off. You don’t have to put the Home Depot logo on the projects, it’s just a little thing the kids can attach or not. My daughter usually leaves them off.

She must take after her grandma, who would rather be in a hardware store or the great outdoors than any fashionista offering. ;-) Thanks for the reminder. btw, do they still offer 'shop and home economics' in some public schools? And if so, are there open gender/role reversals in play? Curious. Would make a great post! ;-) Wenona, my daughter LOVED these at Home Depot at age nine, and learned skill sets for life building bird houses and now ‘carving her unusual name’ with laser tools and woodcuts, so that she’ll never, ever feel ‘intimidated’ by power tools and hardware stores.

I take my 3 oldest kiddos to our Home Depot at least once a month. We've done birdhouses and peg boards and stepping stones. They are great for the entire family and the kids are learning really practical skills. Oh my gosh, these are SO MUCH FUN!! I take my 3 oldest kiddos to our Home Depot at least once a month.
