Milk & Manolos

“I don’t say everything, but I paint everything” Pablo Piccasso. The same however could be said for the 22 month old Munchkin.

Coffee and Crayons (915 Fulham Road, SW6) has been a saving grace for the pair of us. Split over two floors there’s the cafe up stairs and downstairs, well, let me tell you about the genius that is down stairs.

Once your latte is ordered, take sharp right, down the stairs to the basement. Believe me it’s worth it. In my experience this will usually be aided by a persistent yanking on your arm from your toddler desperate to get down there.

There’s a fantastic SUPERVISED play area. For £ 4 (£ 3.50 if your child is under 18 months) you’re able to deposit your child while you curl up on one of the sofas with the selection of papers and magazines provided, or in my case, indulge in a little DS Lite Brain Train time.

There’s a particular emphasis on painting and drawing, as the name suggests. There’s easels, a huge train set, various toys, and a farmhouse style table full to the brim of creative wares for your little one to enjoy. We left after 2 hours with 5 slightly wet, if not very sparkly pictures pictures to decorate the Munchkin’s room.
