Our Annual March Break Tradition
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
For the past four years, my friend and I get the kids together during the March Break for our annual tradition - painting pottery at Crock a Doodle. The kids love it and we enjoy watching their artistic talents mature year after year. My kids had an added bonus of painting during our Summer at Blue stay at Blue Mountain in Collingwood. The projects in the photo have yet to be kiln-fired and glazed but they still look cute, don't you think? If you live in Toronto and want to check out a Crock a Doodle studio, the nearest location would be in Oakville. But rumour has it there will a couple of studios opening up in Toronto soon! By the way, check out this cute idea for an Easter-themed mug.
Do you have any March or spring break traditions?

Looks like fun and sounds like a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteIt really is! We live an hour apart so we don't get to hang out as often as we would like.
DeleteLooks like lots of fun! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteYes, until my daughter complained about the shade of pink she chose for her cupcake.
DeleteThis is super cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI had to help my 5yo with his truck. It's a piggy bank!
DeleteI can't wait till my little boy is old enough to enjoy this!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's probably better to wait till he's old enough to sit still for longer than 5 minutes. I always have to finish my son's project and they're not cheap.
DeleteThey are so cute good attention to detail there too, I bet the kids love it ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, ahem... I did help my kids with the cupcake and truck. Just a little... maybe...
DeleteWhat a fun tradition! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to it every year!
DeleteLooks like fun! It's autumn here.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather be in New Zealand...
DeleteI absolutely love the cupcake!! I've wanted to do something. Like this with my Kiddies for a while now. Looks like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth trying at least once. The hard part is trying to pick just one. The cupcake is practical because it's a trinket box - the top comes off.
DeleteLovely to see your kids during crafts during their March break. Mine just had fun going on many many playdates :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a couple of playdates, too!
DeleteThat is what children would say "Fun from start to finish" :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful rest of the week
Even if mommy had to finish it. LOL Hope you enjoy the rest of the week, too!
DeleteMy daughter would love those owls. Thanks for sharing. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteAren't they so stinkin' cute?
DeleteI love crock a doodle. I had ds do a handprint on a mug there 2 years ago and it has kept really well!
ReplyDeleteThat's a definite keepsake!
DeleteVery fun! We buy clay and do our own masterpieces at home, of course it's not fired clay. I don't even know that we have anything like this around. I know we use to in the last city I lived in and a friend and I made that our little get away spot.
ReplyDeletesuch a great tradition to do, the projects look super awesome and cute

ReplyDeleteOh these are adorable. Painting pottery is a lot of fun - my boys really enjoy it too! Will you be posting the pics. after they've been fired? Would love to see them.
