We went to the Bead Shoppe on Sunday afternoon & had a great time. The owner and employees are all so friendly (and great with kids). There were myriad beads to choose from and I helped Lauren with hers. Isn't it cute?

I spent less than $20 for both kids to make a necklace & I thought that was pretty reasonable.
The clasps are magnetic, so they can take their necklaces on & off by themselves. As Bead Shoppe Kathy said: "The good thing is, they can take them off themselves. The bad thing is, they can take them off themselves."
I really want to take a couple of my older nieces there -- they would LOVE it. Though my girls had a great time, this would be an ideal activity for kids 8 & up. Pre-teen & teen girls would love it.
