The selection of pottery to paint was extensive and ranged from small ornaments to large vases and more. I am not a painter, but the staff explained what techniques to use to produce the desired result. They were very friendly and eager to help. There was a birthday party when I went, so it got a little noisy in there. It was a little pricey but there is a variety of prices to choose from and the base painting price has no time limit, so you can really take your time painting. You are told a day to come back to pick up your pottery, but I wish they called/texted when it was ready so I knew for sure. Overall, this is a great date idea, friend hangout spot, or a solo calming experience!

There are so many options if you want to come create a ceramic piece of art. Adults and kids will both have a blast with all the options they have to offer. Karey (the shop owner) is also incredibly thoughtful with all of the art options she has to offer in the store. So if ceramics aren't your thing, you can always try glass fusing, mosaics, etc. In addition to daily drop in offerings, Karey provides exciting camps for kiddos (both during summer and the school year), with an extensive offering of art options. There are plenty of kid nights planned throughout the year, which my daughter (age 7) LOVES attending! I have also had two birthday parties at Heart and Soul, and Karey worked with me thoughtfully to curate experiences that my children were beyond excited for. You won't want to miss a visit to Heart and Soul for an afternoon or evening of fun!

Calico Toy Shoppe is a prominent toy store on Winslow Way, the cute walkable main street of…read moreBainbridge Island's downtown. We managed to hurry past it on the way to lunch, but I knew there was no way we were getting back to the ferry without going inside. Not with a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and my mother in our crew. To our kids' credit, I wanted to get them a souvenir, or at least allow their grandma to buy them something small with my supervision (she can't be trusted on her own). The store was colorful and appealing, and I couldn't deny my boys the pleasure of a quick, moderate visit. Calico was well stocked with toys and games, and my two-year-old immediately went for a giant cement mixer set that would board the ferry out over my dead body. I told the kids and my mom that they could buy one toy each, and that it would have to be something we could easily take home. There was a large selection of stuffies at the front of the shop, and I strongly encouraged them to find something in that area. Our older son obligingly picked an adorable baby turtle, but his brother refused every little stuffie I offered. Instead, he found a cheap disposable pinwheel that cost $3.99. He's been obsessed with fans for about half of his life and apparently, the pinwheel counted. My brother and sister-in-law got a couple baby toys for their babies and we went on our way, all the kids happy with their loot. We've been home for over a week and the baby turtle, now named Baby Turtle, has a place of honor in our five-year-old's bed. The pinwheel pops up in random spots in our house, sometimes waved with aggression in front of our faces. I liked Calico Toy Shoppe and would definitely shop there if I lived on Bainbridge Island. I'd recommend stopping in if you're visiting with kids. It's a great place to pick up a little souvenir.
