Maybe once (if ever) the novelty of princesses wears off, and your kids want a party involving crafts, not crowns, remember: This is Austin. You’ve come to the right place.

Once old enough to resist urges to ingest a bead, kids will go bananas for the baubles at Bead It. This groovy cottage on South Lamar allows little minds and fingers to work in harmony. A haven for creativity, Bead It has a funky yet laid-back feel that encourages the imagination.

Are we just stringing you along? We’re afraid knot.
