The fragrance of clay, paste, and papier-mâché at this DIY craft store is enough to catapult visitors back to childhood; even the least artistically inclined may be seized with the urge to make a key chain. Catering to both creative children and adults indulging their inner children, this airy, pastel-colored Williamsburg store is as much about open space as it is about crafts, with plenty of room for kids to run around and a vast table in the back where they can work on artistic endeavors. Walk-in projects range from camp classics like beading and card-making to sculpture and printmaking, and more involved classes (screen-printing, kids' knitting) are offered on a weekly basis. Stacks of how-to books are sold alongside the yarn, beads, and glitter, for inspiration. — Frankie Thomas

The store also hosts kids' parties.
