Our story

Kristin is a local Framingham mom of 2 who loves to teach and craft. Kristin uses her 15-year teaching experience to make crafting fun and accessible for kids of all ages and abilities. She is inspired by bright patterns and colors and has a passion for using natural and recycled materials in many of her kits and crafts.

Alyssa is a local Natick mom of 2. Alyssa’s previous business, 3Moms Roll With It, now Bloom and Grow Dough, is a labor of love that was born in the pandemic as a result of homeschooling 6 kids under the age of 5. She found that playdough and sensory bases were a wonderful way to encourage motor skills, as well as, support language and cognitive development, but were also just plain fun!

Together, we are Bloom and Grow Creative. A mom owned small business passionate about creative play and art experiences for young and old alike! Our experience at the Hive, an incredible small business collective located in Natick Center, has allowed us to pursue a space of our own. Our goal is to create a unique experience where families can feel connected to one another and their community while engaging in fun and creative experiences.

Why choose Bloom & Grow Creative?

At Bloom and Grow Creative craft studio and play space, we take pride in providing a fun and safe play area for children to explore and unleash their creativity. Research has shown that open ended play holds immense benefits for children's development. It not only encourages them to engage their imaginations but also nurtures their problem-solving abilities and enhances their social skills. As firm believers in the power of unstructured play, we understand the profound impact it can have on a child's learning and overall growth.
