Winter Workshops

If you're visiting to find out more about the winter workshops we're offering at our house (otherwise known as the 'Never Buy a Volkswagen Passat' parties), here's the info! I can accept three children for each workshop, recommended for ages 3 and up. Each workshop includes a healthy snack, the craft or cooking activity and, if time allows, some indoor playtime in our playroom. Each child will leave with a unique item they've crafted suitable for gift-giving (or will have them delivered by the next day if the item requires drying time or an adult's hand-finishing like the pincushions). I've leveled the workshops for your convenience. Easiest is something a child can do even with emerging fine motor skills. Medium level is for a child who has experience using a pencil and scissors and who can draw basic shapes. Advanced skill level is for a child with some crafting and/or specific fine motor experience like cutting on a line, using a needle, etc. So drop your child off for two hours of creative fun while you shop, run errands, get a holiday haircut, or just read a magazine and sip some cocoa somewhere quiet! Email me for scheduling and fee information.
