One of the most wonderful things you can do for any child is to nurture their creativity and allow them to create.
Superheroes and their incredible powers make us imagine what could be possible IF…
Many children and teenagers are obsessed with Marvel and DC comics and superheroes. They read the comic books and/or watch the movies.
But what if they could come up with their OWN superhero? Or villain? What would it look like and what are his or her supernatural powers?
When I visit my sister’s family, I always like to give my three nieces the gift of a new experience.
Now that my oldest niece is 16 and I have a four-year old son, I needed to come up with an experience that teenagers AND young children would enjoy. That’s a little tough, but I came up with the perfect idea! Adults will enjoy it too!
I took everyone to a paint your own pottery studio where each of us picked out an unfinished ceramic pottery to paint.
The studio had a TON of choices and to inspire customers it displayed examples of what the final painted products could look like.
I picked out a Christmas sweater platter, and my son picked out a dinosaur. My sister picked out a Christmas mug, while her 16-year old niece picked out a jar. My 13-year old niece picked out a turtle shaped container, and my nine-year old niece picked out a Hello Kitty figurine. See! Something for everyone!
The pottery studio provided all of the painting supplies, glazing and firing. All we needed to do was unleash our creativity!
