      Loved it!

      We took our three boys there to make end of the school year bracelets for part of their teachers’ gifts. It was an amazing experience and even though they are boys, they loved building something for their teachers (whom they each individually adore). The teachers enjoyed hearing the story behind what they each put on their bracelet and one even cried. The staff was wonderful in helping each boy get from their idea to the perfect finished bracelet. 10/10 experience!
