One of my favorite things to do is find FREE things for us to do as a family, and we really have some great options here in the Cleveland area. From libraries to nature centers to event activities to museums, Cleveland has it all! The community art center is a free, fun, and educational hands-on experience open to the public Friday-Sunday.

They also earn an iron-on-patch for their apron.
Aprons are free and are given the first-time they attend a workshop. Typically the builds take us 30min to 45min. Be sure to register here. The first Saturday of the month Home Depot has a free in-store workshop for kids. Each kid receives a craft to build, an apron, and a pin that has a little picture of the craft of the month. The crafts usually require them to use hammers, screwdrivers, and paint brushes.
