👻Boo-tiful messes will be made here! Are you looking to skip the sugar rush and scary vibes that come with Trick-or-Treating? We got you! Only “G” rated spooky vibes here for the kiddos!  
  
Join us for a playfully spooky Halloween craft afternoon where kids turn themed arts & crafts into ghoulishly adorable masterpieces. Expect messy hands, plenty of giggles and costumes encouraged!  
  
Perfect for little artists who love Halloween almost as much as they love making something wickedly fun with their own hands.  
  
We’ll have a variety of different Halloween-themed crafts ready for your kiddo(s) to complete. And hey, we’ve thought of everything: we’ll have all the supplies, instructions, and aprons ready and waiting. Plus, we’ll handle the mess for you – we’re freaky that way!  
  
All you need to do is show up with your mini-Dracula and make some memorable moments with them (we think you’ll have just as much fun getting messy)!  
  
The boring, but important stuff (policies):  
  
👧🏼👦🏽Crafts are appropriate for ages 5-10 (or so…. you’re the best judge of what your kiddo can do!)  
  
👩🏽🧔🏽‍♂️An adult must be present at all times with child(ren)  
  
🎨This is not a teacher lead class time, you will be assisting your child with each craft  
  
💲Crafts start at only a few dollars, and you can choose as many as your kiddo wants to make (we kindly request a minimum of $20 please)  
  
Please note: many projects are painting projects. We supply aprons, but please be aware the paint will stain clothes. Many projects require the use of hot glue guns. Parental supervision is required.
