I can't adequately describe how much Little Creatives Craft Studio has meant to our family, but I'll try! The studio owner, Candace, treats everyone like family and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the start. She provides unique, fun, engaging, and creative projects - along with all the best materials - to children of all ages and abilities. The amount of different kinds of creative projects our children have come home with astounds me! Every single project is completely different from the last and boosts their confidence - as people and as artists every time. They have met new friends and had the chance to bond with consistent fellow crafters also. Candace hosts regular "clubs" and "playgroups" for the kids and gives them ownership (especially for the older kiddos) over the projects as yet another way to boost their confidence and creativity. She also hosts summer camps, of which we participated in all 4 weeks this year, and each themed week was full of wonder, creativity, and a variety of different materials. As a bonus, I love how she involves up-cycled materials as much of her inspiration, which shows the kids that art is everywhere, that materials can be reused for a greater purpose, and it doesn't have to be fancy to be art. At the same time, she has taught the kids to make truly beautiful masterpiece paintings, drawings, and mixed media projects that are usually catered to the "grown ups" - and they have become budding talented artists due to her easy, step-by-step directions. She lowers the fear for the kids so they can grow as people and in their talents. The kids all really take to her instantly, as Candace provides the comfort of a fellow mom, the creativity of a fun studio owner, and the calm of a peaceful artist. They emulate her tone -- which is warm, loving, encouraging, and structured. We cannot thank her enough for opening this studio for kids in Washington!! There's nothing out there like it! P.S. Be sure to check out her party offerings for a unique and fun experience that's easy on the parents!! Little Creatives Craft Studio also hosts birthday parties of all themes and age groups. She tailors the party specifically to your child and runs the whole party start to finish in a way that keeps it SO easy for the parents. She exceeded our expectations on every level - it'll be hard to top such a great experience in years to come. read more
