The September Home Depot Kids Workshop project is the School Bus Organizer, a fun back-to-school themed build for young DIYers.

Home Depot offers free in-store Kids Workshops on the first Saturday of every month, and the September 2026 event gives families another no-cost weekend activity to add to the calendar.

• Date: Saturday, September 5, 2026
• Start Time: 9:00 a.m.
• Cost: Free
• Project: School Bus Organizer
• Location: Participating Home Depot stores
• Registration: Open now
• Availability: While supplies last

Kids participating in the workshop will build a School Bus Organizer.

The back-to-school themed project gives children a chance to practice basic hands-on building skills while creating something useful they can take home.

The completed organizer could be used for small school supplies, art materials, or other lightweight items at home.

The Home Depot School Bus Organizer Kids Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, September 5, 2026.

Home Depot says its free in-store Kids Workshops begin at 9 a.m. on the first Saturday of every month. Home Depot also states that Kids Workshops are typically offered between 9 a.m. and noon. Workshop kits are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Yes. Home Depot describes its in-store Kids Workshops as free and holds them nationwide on the first Saturday of each month. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The workshops are designed to give children a chance to participate in a hands-on DIY activity with help from a parent or guardian.

There is no purchase requirement listed for the standard monthly Kids Workshop, although project kits remain subject to availability.

The main attraction is the free project kit that children assemble during the workshop.

Depending on the event and local availability, participating kids may also receive familiar Home Depot Kids Workshop items such as:

• A hands-on project kit
• A workshop apron
• An achievement pin
• A completion certificate
• A finished project to take home

Specific extras can vary, so families should treat the project kit itself as the primary advertised freebie and confirm any additional items with their local store.

Back-to-school season can become expensive quickly with supplies, clothes, activities, and other school-year costs.

A free Kids Workshop gives families an inexpensive way to get out of the house and spend time together without adding another paid activity to the budget.

The School Bus Organizer is especially well timed because the project fits the back-to-school theme while still giving kids a hands-on building experience.

The School Bus Organizer is not a one-time event. Home Depot offers a free Kids Workshop on the first Saturday of every month. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
