History
Established in 2008.
One day I had a brilliant idea that me and my 3-year old son would paint a coffee mug together at a ceramic studio. It would be this incredible bonding experience for us. Three to four swipes of paint and my little artist was done. While I tried my best to hurry out of there, he proceeded to run circles around the table while I endured glares from the shop employees and other adult customers. When I had the chance, I opened Unpluggits Playstudio. I figured I wasn’t the only parent that wanted to create with their kids, so I basically designed it with myself in mind. To minimize stress, it has windows into the playground and low shelving so parents could easily spot their kids while in the studio. This way if mom wants to paint a coffee cup while her rowdy son plays, she can!

I was a full-time working mom who wanted a place to «chill out» with my kids. We love the local parks, art festivals, children’s museums and I wished I could enjoy this type of experience more often. We also flocked to amusement parks, movies and arcades. But sometimes I felt these were our only options.
No one would ever classify me as a tiger mom. But what type of mom would I be if I didn’t feel a little guilty about how much my kids (and I) watch TV and play video games. I think it’s really important for kids to have time for some unstructured activities and play time to figure out who they are and how to get along with others. Not a bad idea for grown-ups too! Plus who doesn’t like a hand painted gift?
