NOT ONLY FOR KIDS

I came here with my girlfriends one day, just so we would have something to do on a rainy day. Well, let me tell you this was the most fun I have had in a while. The staff was beyond friendly and accomidating, and they made us feel right at home. On top of it all I walked away with a beautiful mug that I get to drink my coffee out of every morning. This is a great place to come if you're in need for a gift, or you just want to have a good time with your friends. Don't be fooled this isn't just for kids, this place is for people of all ages!!! I can't wait to go back.

Pros: amazing experience, incredibly helpful staff

great spot for an afternoon with the kids

by steveweinberg

My kids just loved this place! We spent several fun-filled hours one Saturday afternoon doing crafts together. It was a great way to spend time with the kids. My daughter loved the beading and jewelry- making area and my son got to create a plaque for his room representing his beloved Yankees! They can't wait to go back for more. I was very pleased with how the environment sparked their creativity. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and patient. The facility was clean and well-organized and I thought the prices were quite reasonable, especially given the wonderful time we had together. It was well worth the expense. My daughter is already making plans to go back for her upcoming Birthday party. I highly recommend this experience for parents and kids alike.

A friendly Oasis of creativity in NYC...for kids and BIG kids too

by yougottalovethecity

I'm a single Dad and was told about Little Shop by 2 single Mom friends. They made it sound so inviting and easy , so of course I had to take my 8 year old son.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Immediately my son and I felt at home. After having been to other painting craft shops in the City , the Little Shop concept of no charge for paint time, stay as long as you like, was like a V8 moment...or something like that. After staying for 2 hours, which would have cost me an additional $20 at other paint studios, I thought "that's it ...why go anywhere else".

Before my son and I left he already picked out his next project...a braclet for his Mom.

A sweet kind place and in our NYC. The staff's wonderful.

CAn't wait to take him again. Might even do something myself.

Great vibe.The place to go, with or without kids.

by RobbieMichaels1

There is something for everyone in the family or any of your friends to do. It is a great date place in the evenings and they even have Wine & great music!

The people who work there are warm, friendly & helpful.

They are great with kids too if you are planning a kids party.

They do awesome Adult parties too.

It's an easy no brainer and it's a great value. You walk away with immediate gratification as well as a useful piece.

I am partial to the new Beading! A girl can't have too much jewelry! I love the Little Shop of Crafts and go there as often as I can!
