What It’s Like: A Parent’s Honest Review
“My kids and I have made birdhouses, planes, even a little sled. It’s our favorite Saturday tradition. They learn real skills and get messy (in a good way)!” – Kristina, KA Team
The vibe is casual and welcoming. Expect:
- Bench-style work areas
- Paint-splattered smiles
- Kids proudly showing off what they built
Bring clothes that can handle paint, and let your kids take the lead — it’s all about the experience!
Quick Tips for Parents
- Ages: Best for ages 3–10 (younger kids may need more help)
- Time commitment: Most projects take 30–45 minutes
- Mess level: Medium — there’s paint involved!
- Confidence boost: These builds help develop motor skills and creativity
