I come here at least once per year to share an experience with my son. I absolutely love it.
My boy is growing like a freaking weed. Who allowed this? I know I certainly didn't. So, I'm the dork who likes to get his handprint on everything as a memento of his tiny-ness, which is why we come here every Mother's Day. We decorate a mug together, then we paint his little paw and stick it on the mug and it's there forever... well, after As You Wish does that whole kiln process.
The last time we went, Harvey was old enough to paint and do some sponge stamping on his own plate. Any time I put his dinner on it, he gets super excited. "That's MY plate! I painted that!" 2 is my favorite age, guys.
The employees are fabulous. They are young and super friendly and I swear that one girl is a baby whisperer. She's an absolute expert at getting the perfect handprint. If your kid smudges it, she's there to clean it up.
Get their app. They have coupons on there. Sometimes they have coupons for $10 of a purchase of $40, which I use to just go in and buy pieces that I'll bring back later to paint with my kiddo. Just be sure to keep your receipt with your items so they know you're not pulling items off the shelf when you come back in to decorate.
