Let’s be honest sometimes playing with your kids just isn’t fun. There I said it! There is only so much I know about Minecraft to talk about and constantly battling super hero’s just isn’t always my jam. So, while I love my boys dearly I’m constantly trying to get them to do more arts and crafts type of play, which is right up my alley. They are not really into coloring in coloring books, but I can get them to draw on blank paper and they love any sort of wooden craft that they get to paint. Now as a child I loved going to any sort of plaster fun time place and getting to pick an item, paint it and then of course get it sprayed with glitter and a shiny finish. The boys have done this a ton at birthday parties, but I wanted to step things up and take them to an actual pottery place where the items will get baked in the kiln. I happily wandered upon, Little Art Studio, a studio space where you can paint pottery, canvas, wine glasses, etc. They host birthday parties and evening events, but you can also just walk in and paint! So, one snowy day we did just that!

Because it was a snowy day we actually lucked out and had the studio all to ourself. The employee that day told us had crazy it had been days before hand with people literally being elbow to elbow.

I swear they were excited to be there! Haha.

There favorite part was grabbing all of the paint! They went nuts picking out a different million shades. 

We had a really nice time and then crossed the street for a yummy slice of pizza and amazing buffalo chicken roll at Angelina’s.

Since your items get put in the kiln you need to pick them up a week later! We headed there this past weekend and I love how my item came out!

So, cute! I figured I could use it on my desk with office supplies, but I could also use it for entertaining with appetizers or cookies.
