KIDS & SAFETY
We Customize Projects and Assembly to Each Child's Ability
Cutting bits of glass and gluing into place (with an adult's assistance) is safe and fun for kids from the ages of 5 and up.
Techniques range from simple "pick and glue" (ages 5+) to "limited cutting and glue" (ages 7-9), to "design, cut and place" (ages 10+).
