Paint ‘N’ Station

Bring out the creativity in your children with a party at Paint ‘N’ Station! Each child gets to choose from a variety of pottery figures, and then gets to paint their selection in whatever way they choose! From glitter to glaze, its fun for everyone involved, and the children have a wonderful party favor to take home and keep. My children have been three times, and we have an entire bookshelf full of Paint ‘N’ Station goodies: ballerina slippers, dogs, ponies, and more.
