A butcher, a baker and you, the candlestick maker.
People of all ages have a fascination with fire. Instead of letting your child play with a box of matches, why not turn your future pyro into a future artist?

Sudsy fun.
Is there a better way to encourage your teens to wash up before meals than by using soap you’ve made together? This class, for kids 16 and up, will teach you the soap making basics, with a focus on all natural ingredients. After the class, you’ll know the ins and outs of the cold process of making soap, meaning you can skip the farmer’s markets (though they’re fun to visit with the fam as well) and do it yourself. While your family’s creative soaps cure, you’ll take home samples, meaning you’ll never be without the best soaps for pre-dinner handwashing.

Paint the town whatever color you like.
Take in the city from a different perspective. This 3-hour painting class is probably better for bigger kids, but the experience of painting the city from Sausalito will totally be worth the trip. With supplies provided, you’ll learn to paint from experienced instructors as you take in San Francisco’s skyline from an oceanside location. Of course you can always paint the town red, though we’re sure the instructor will have some color tips as well. Head home after the class with your family’s artistry in tow—it’s time to bring that bare living room wall to life.
