Stop by Little Shop West to paint plaster or pottery, do beading or mosaics, or create-a-cuddly. What’s great about this place is that for as little as $13 for a plaster piece, you and your child can stay as long as you like and use as much paint as you want. Joy is terrific and will help you pick paint colors and give you great ideas for designs. Mom’s can enjoy a capuccino from the coffee shop next door, while kids snack on their smoothies and giant cookies. My daughter has stayed as long as three hours painting, drying, glittering and stenciling her pieces. Projects vary in complexity so all ages can enjoy.
