Live Colors for Kids App Review






First off if you get it right now it is free!!!! Yes Free go here. hurry it is a limited time.

My thoughts:  Oh my! This is beyond adorable  My son loves it and uses it nearly daily.  As a teacher I love it because it helps explore creativity and learning.  As a mom I say I love it because of all that plus no mess!  My son (who is autistic) loves to color and draw on apps especially.  He would stay all day on this if I let him.  You can mix colors in your palette and learn what product comes of the colors mixing.  Save all your work and print it out for mom to hang up all around the house. (Yes, I have!)  This is beyond cute and one of the best apps for coloring I have seen.  Not to mention did I tell you it's free for summer vacation?  Yes! I highly recommend you rush over and download it asap.  Overall, we both loved it, Yes I colored too.

Have you tried it? What do you think? I would love to hear from you!

Creation Station in Omaha Review


Picture Gallery

Nestled in a small shopping area is a wonderful and fun little place called Creation Station.  It is a family owned operation that allows children and adults to explore their creativity.   They are wonderfully priced and very affordable compared to other Pottery painting places in or around the Omaha area.


  Looking for fun?  I Highly recommend them!

Painting prices are $5 for kids and $8 for Adults.  Includes:  "Includes paints, supplies, as much time as you need in the studio and firing!"

Then you pick your piece and one lovely thing I think is great is they ask the parent to make sure the price is ok.  That is really great because my boys where aiming for big pieces not in my budget.  The smaller pieces make it where I can visit multiple times a year and let the boys get carried away by Creativity.

Me and My family went to try out this place that I found in a google search engine.  The wonderful owner of the shop agreed to a free session in exchange for an honest review.  First off you walk in and they let you pick out your pottery piece and find a seat.  They also have private rooms in case you are in need of personal space or quiet time.  (My son is Autistic and is on the Asperger's side so this is really great.)  The kids picked out the pottery pieces and went to our private room.  Then the staff comes in and ask the children what colors they would like.  Yes, They wait on you and your kids.  (My nephew loved the comfy soft seats.)  The kids can choose as many colors as they can think off.  The kids were nothing but smiles after that.  They where painting and enjoying themselves.  (Most know that I was almost a Early Childhood Educator.  I took the schooling just never finished. )  I know there is nothing like a child getting to use their creative side.

The pieces are amazingly priced I saw ones as cheap as $7 and the perfect sized ones for my kids where around the $9-$11 price range for tot and kids pottery.

I want to thank the wonderful family and Staff because the kids can not wait to return and do it again.  The Staff was amazing.  Timmy loved being waited on.  They check on you frequently to see how everything is and to see if you have questions or need new paint.  One thing I also loved was they do things with  special needs kids and are doing future things with Autistic Children and other groups.  They made it that much better of an experience.

Now we wait for pick up which is a much shorter time compared to other studios.  They take about a week and to me that is perfect!  The kids are dying to know what their finished project looks like.  I will have final pictures posted as soon as we get them!

Looking for amazing family time and being creative at the same time?  I highly recommend Creation Station located at:
