Call it marketing but fun with parents is memories created and tends to stick with you. Who cares where it comes from. Win win for both parties for free .

Loved these when my daughter was younger, but note to parents. WHO CARES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, LET THE KID DO IT.

It was so annoying to see parents literally take over the whole project to make it perfect, while the kid sat and watched.

Had so much fun watching my daughter develop hand-eye coordinator, strength, painting skills, etc. I often ended up with paint up to my elbows as I was the "holder" of items while she painted, but I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

When it was all said and done, she had nearly 50 "completed" pins!

Totally agree... my kids beg to do things with me and this is so much easier than planning activity at home and doing all the prep and cleanup... Plus my kids always want to go some where. So they love these activities more than the ones I come up with at home. So win for them, win for me as it is easier, and a win for HD (and lowes since we go to those as well)... yeah it gets me in to buy stuff but, I am still getting things I need/want for the home that I would but anyway and I still price shop so as long as their prices remain competitive to the other options I have near me, I'll give them my business.

Despite having the correct store selected in my profile, when I try to register for this, it chooses a store that is in a city more than 2 hours away.
I don't know if registration is necessary. They don't ask if you registered or anything. My store always seems to have plenty of kits.

Ever since the pandemic, the local store for me always has piles of these to take home, sometimes even through the next day. After a week, they put them up for sale for 3 or 5 bucks. I pick up two and have my granddaughter and niece make them when they come over. They love that they get to build stuff.

Yes, it has HD logos on it but they couldn't care less. Hammers! Paint! Stickers! Pins!

FWIW, I've found the Lowes ones to be much harder to get. They never seem to have enough, even if I register, and they seem to hate the idea of me taking one kit to go, despite a registration for 2 and showing up with only 1.

They have always done that.

In the early 50s you have a Peanuts cartoon where Patty and Lucy go downtown to look at the toys in the window. Patty says "It's fun even if you can't buy anything."

Or in the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," set in the early 1900s, Francie saves her pennies and trades them for a nickel and goes to the store to browse for toys. She's not only excited at being able to buy what she sees but excited that if the floor walker asks her to leave she can show him her nickel and stay she is going to buy something.

So stuff has been marked to children since stuff was created.

The only people allowed to shape my kids' minds are agents of the government.

The people who say this tend to think this is hitlerian level evil, but are delighted with the idea of leftists turning the education system into k-20 indoctrination camps that determine your entire future.

Register ahead and plan to go early. Just note that even if you register, it doesn't mean they will reserve your spot.

They literally give them to you each time you and go and refuse to take them back. Stupid comment.

Not at the stores around us, we had to ask for them.

Stupid comment.
