Why We Loved This Workshop
Interactive Fun: My toddler had a blast painting their very own Dala horse ornament. I love hands on activities especially when traveling.
Expert Guidance: A professional carver and painter were there to guide us step by step, making it easy to enjoy without any stress. He told us the history of Dala Horses, showed us the different colors that were used, and taught us how to paint it the traditional way. My toddler still decided to make hers a rainbow horse :)
Budget-Friendly: At just 198 SEK (around $18 for both of us), this was an affordable way to spend quality time together and have a little treat to bring home.
Lasting Memories: The ornament we made will now hang on our Christmas tree every year, and I am so excited to have it as a little reminder of our trip to Sweden.
Would I Recommend This?
Absolutely! Whether you’re a local or traveling, the Dala Horse Painting Workshop was such a fun unique way to experience Sweden and learn a little bit more about the culture.
