The Home Depot Kids Workshop
For three hours on Saturday, the show floor hands your kids a real apron, real tools and a project that goes home with them. You get to walk the rest of the show while they build.
A Home Depot Kids Workshop demo on the show floor — hands-on building, crafts and a wood project your kids take home. Saturday only, during the Fort Lauderdale Home Show. Kids 4–12 get in for $1 and the workshop itself is free — no additional fee to take part.
Forty seconds of what Saturday looks like
Aprons on, hammers out, and a wooden build that leaves with them. Press play.
Every builder gets an orange Home Depot Kids Workshop apron — the one they will refuse to take off for the rest of the day.
Real wood, real tools, real hammering. Staff walk them through it step by step, so first-timers are fine.
The finished project — painted, decorated and entirely theirs — goes home at the end.
Saturday, and Saturday only
The workshop runs for three hours in the middle of the show day. The show itself runs all four days, but this is the one afternoon the Home Depot build tables are set up.
Doors on Saturday are 12–8 PM, so there is time either side of the workshop to see the rest of the floor. Everything is indoors and air-conditioned at the Broward County Convention Center.
Three hours is a lot of show
While they are building, the rest of the Fort Lauderdale Home Show is yours — hundreds of exhibitors across kitchens, baths, closets, flooring, impact windows, outdoor living and more, plus live demos on the Home Design Stage.
