Register for the FREE Lowe’s Kids Workshop Terrarium event on April 18, 2026 (10 AM–1 PM), open to kids (typically ages 4–11) in-store. And yes, it’s a no purchase necessary freebie.
Instead of another weekend of screens, imagine your kid proudly holding a mini terrarium they built themselves. Bonus: you didn’t spend a dime.
Got a kid who loves building (or just getting a little messy)?
The Lowe’s Kids Workshop isn’t just a “grab and go” free sample. It’s a full-on hands-on experience. Kids get to build a tiered terrarium, decorate it, and take it home. It’s part craft, part learning, and part “look what I made!” moment.
Even better? These workshops happen monthly, so once you’re in, you’ve got a steady stream of free activities lined up.
