Kids who have molded clay are more equipped to mold their future, as they have the keen eye, dexterous hands, and unlimited supply of vases required to make it in the real world. Prepare your child for future formation with today's Groupon: for $62, you get a four-week pottery class for kids at Ark Row Center for Enrichment in Tiburon (up to a $140 value).

Owned and operated by parent-and-child coaching expert Robin Briskin, the Ark Row Center enriches families through hands-on classes that foster confidence and self-expression. Kids learn to transform wet earth into bowls, vases, or family-dinner-suggestion jars under the watchful eyes of an experienced ceramics artist. These instructors can ensure that kids are creating their crockery correctly since small classes of about 10 kids facilitate individual instructor-child attention. Classes are offered on Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for kids ages 4 through 6 (a $100 value), and from 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. for kids ages 7 through 10 (a $140 value), with the first class session on the first Thursday of each month.
