Definitely! Previously we've always given toys or books – this was the first time we did an activity with her. Well, one time we ran errands with her and I drove her around in The Home Depot "car" cart very quickly and then took her thrifting, but I feel like that might not count, lol. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another day course we could do with her.

Thanks! She's an adorable kid and I'm thinking I should really be luring her into doing some yard work around the house, lol.

We didn't get any guidance about the pottery glazes and I think there were different brands/types because some were really thick and dried instantly whereas some seemed more workable. Thanks so much for the tip! Our niece had fun so I'd be totally willing to try it again with her and if I do I'll follow your advice. Don't love the splotchy look I created, but it sure was a lovely afternoon! Thanks again for the info – it's much appreciated!

Nice designs! If the shop didn't tell you that you needed to do 2-4 coats of "paint" and letting them dry completely in between each coat you should try it again sometime. I used to work in a "paint your own pottery" shop here in Calgary and that was the biggest rule to follow if you wanted your pottery to come out with solid colours. It's a pain to wait until everything drys and to do so many coats but it's worth it.
