Lowes Build and Grow Workshop: Make an engine

This Saturday - if anyone would care to join us - at 10 am you can make your very own engine for a train set. The train set has been spread over 3 weekends, we missed the first one, but did make it to the passenger car clinic, and now on Saturday we get the very important engine.
These events are fun to attend, definitely educational (parents learn a lot, too, to control their own frustrations, and reading directions carefully, for example) and easy to plan. You just need to have about 30 mins of time and then you can also walk around looking at cool things for your home, but no obligation to buy anything.
Next week, my son's class is having a cookie decorating event - I bet lots of classes are - and I am planning to make the gingerbread people for it. Very excited to learn how to make them, as I have only made gingerbread cookies out of a box. They came out very good, too, simply delicious, but they were also very easy to make. I am counting on my son's help next Tuesday, maybe even a cookie making party? Any takers?
