When the weather is dreary, parents are always looking for indoor kids activities. Making beaded jewelry is a great way for younger kids (over 3 years old) to practice counting and recognizing patterns, while improving their fine motor skills. Older kids love the creativity of jewelry making, too. So why not try one of the beading stores in the area?
DSV Boutique (next to Arsagas on Block Street) is a very funky shop with an enormous back room of beads and jewelry making supplies. Another excellent option is Bead It! (in the Fiesta Square shopping center). Bead It! has classes and parties for scout troops, children, and teens.
Hours: DSV Boutique: 10am-6pm Mon-Sat; Beat It!: 10am-7pm Mon-Sat.
