Kids playing and stretching slime
As our BBBS matches look toward this shiny new year of 2025, our staff is here to support you! Maybe your Little is into making things? Building models, arts and crafts or other hands-on activities. Below are some resources and ideas to support creativity for your match:
Pikasso Swig
There is a place in town off the downtown mall called Pikasso Swig where you book appointments for making sessions - of a variety of options. Let them know in booking, if you decide to go, that you are with BBBS as a Big and Little and you can get a 15 % discount: DIY CRAFT BAR | PIKASSO SWIG | Charlottesville, VA
