The Elves Workshop is for children up to grade 6. To maintain the magic, no adults were allowed inside this special room !!! 7th grade students helped little shoppers who came in without their parents.

Above were some of my handmade wool relief pictures donated to the Elves Workshop. You may purchase these on Castle of Costa Mesa Etsy shop here. My upcoming felting workshops are listed here.
My princess and frog wool relief picture went home with a sweet little girl who picked it.
The 7th Grader class volunteered to gift wrap the children’s purchases.
There were many other magical activities that day, including beeswax candle dipping and decorating in the 5th Grade Classroom…
Here was my son Dimiter with his exceptionally wonderful therapist Cliff Le, attending Winter Festival for the first time. My son handmade a beeswax candle in this crowded room and was all smiles today. What exhilarating sight for me to witness! I wanted everyone to congratulate us on this milestone!
