A tiny holiday train your kid gets to build themselves? That is a very cute reason to put a hardware-store trip on the family calendar.
Lowe’s has a Holiday Engine kids workshop coming on Saturday, November 14, 2026, and its registration calendar lists October 10 as the signup opening date. That is today, so this is the part to check now even though the building happens next month.
What are the kids making?
The project is a wooden Holiday Engine with a festive train look. Lowe’s official photo shows a little decorated locomotive, complete with wheels and a purple roof. Basically, a holiday craft that gets to look like a train instead of another paper snowflake.
The event page lists a 10 a.m. workshop start. Choose your store in the registration flow to check its available appointment times before planning the outing.
How to sign up for the free workshop
Lowe’s lists monthly in-store kids workshops among its free MyLowe’s Rewards Kids Club benefits. A parent or guardian needs a MyLowe’s Rewards account and a Kids Profile for the child. Lowe’s says you can create that profile while registering.
- Open the Holiday Engine registration page.
- Select your participating store and check for an available time.
- Sign in and complete the child’s registration, creating a Kids Profile if needed.
- Keep your confirmation and check its arrival instructions.
The date on the calendar is the start of registration, rather than a promise that every store has an open spot. If your location is not showing availability yet, check the event page again instead of showing up without a reservation.
Put both dates on your calendar
There are two dates to remember: October 10 for signup and November 14 for the workshop. Mixing those up would be an extremely annoying way to miss a tiny train.
If your kid is already in holiday mode, this is a nice little plan to look into. The train does not build itself, which is rather the point.
