In the category of kid-friendly craft places, the new Make Meaning may well be a true game-changer, offering a wonderfully varied menu of hands-on crafts in a setting that's so vibrant and colorful kids are going think they're walking into a candy store! Chances are, though, they'll be just as pleased to get their hands on the creative and age-appropriate (tots through teens) projects in Make's core areas: soap, glass, ceramics, jewelry, candles, and paper. Located on the Upper West Side on Columbus Avenue between 75th and 76th Streets, Make Meaning offers "walk-in" and class options, fresh new birthday alternatives, and a credible gift emporium. Great for the neighborhood, Make is also ample and varied enough to be a destination spot for craft-loving families throughout the city, especially if you combine it with visits to other nearby attractions like Central Park, the Museum of Natural History, or CMOM.
