If you are looking for a bit of a different activity to do with the kids in the city, this is a fun one. The drip bears you can create at Bear With Us are so mesmerising, both in the making and final product.

How does it work? Well, first you must book a time slot online, this is essential. On your allocated time, you are provided with some instructions by the friendly staff once you’ve selected your figurine of choice. They are there to guide you the whole way through.

Mamma’s bears were medium sized and $75. Then the kids were able to paint a base then select their colours, around 3 or 4 is best, so you can create the fluid marble look. Mamma loved the shine of the metallic paints, and there is also glitter to blown over at the end if you wish.

Once you’ve created your bears, they will stay behind to dry and you will have to pick them up at a later date (extra fee applies for delivery). This means you’re surrounded by bears waiting to be collected, that are a great source of inspiration!
