LOWES build and Grow Clinic this week (Saturday Oct 22, 2011 at 10:00 AM) will be making this monster truck. Go here to sign up for this free kids building clinic. What a fun project with Halloween coming up.

Each child will receive all the items needed for their machine as well as a free apron, goggles, a project themed patch, and a certificate when they complete their project.

Project designed for children in grades 2-5. (my 4 year old went once and there were TONS of kids his age there too . . . I would say the age is a guideline and if you are willing to help the child 4 and up is probably fine)
