When my kids were little this was one of our favorite things to do on a Friday morning. They were so happy to be able to paint, use glue and glitter in liberal amounts (most of which ended up on the floor) and mold clay into little things which we still have today. And I was so happy to pay the small fee and walk out of there knowing that I didn't have to spend 2 hours trying to get glitter out of the cracks in the hardwood floor! Money...more

This is such a fun class! The instructors/facilitators at BCA are awesome and fun. The kids have a blast...and so do the caregivers! Totally flexible with hours (some people go right at 9:30 others trickle in at 10:30) and creative projects. Highly recommend it!

I will try it again, and try the clay activity.

Went for the first time this morning with my 4 year old son and 16month old daughter. They loved it! The two ladies that were working were wonderful and very helpful! We can't wait to go back!

There was no real direction as to where to go, what was on/off limits, and no one told us if we could leave our clay project to be kiln dried to pick up later, etc. Also, I was expecting a bit more interaction with the staff and children. I felt more like we were...more

great time for the youngest and older kids to explore art materials at their own pace and interest. nice time to interact during this activity with other parents/caregivers and children. supplies provided and opportunity to take home a crafted pottery project too.
