Petit Picasso Launch Week!


Celebrating 5 Years of Honeypot Deli!


Norton's own delicatessen and wholefood shop, has brought something new and exciting to Norton, with friendly and personal service bringing back traditional values. Honeypot aims to provide wholesome home baked produce from our own sausage rolls, to vegetarian spinach and feta rolls and gluten free tarts, savory and sweet. We have local produce including duck eggs, honey and cheeses. A selection of dairy free products also available. Artisan home baked breads, including soda and foccacias are a firm favorite, as are our popular home baked scones from fruit to ginger, date and walnut, cherry and coconut and our cheese scones are made from a very tasty vintage cheddar, which all can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, in our seating area in Honeypot, or to take away.


Petit Picasso Art Experiences opened the doors to their new venue in Stockton Business Centre during the half term holidays and a sPoOkTaCuLaR time was had by all.


We have organic and fair-trade wines (some sulphite free) and specialist beers and much more.


As a celebration of our 5 years for Primary Times readers, commencing Friday 24th November, until Friday 1st December, for every cup of tea or coffee purchased when you sit in, you will get a home baked scone completely free if you bring this article with you! Call in at: 6 Leven Road, Norton, Stockton (off the High Street, near Wetherspoons) Tel: 01642 643236.

Lots of little artists made their first attempts at sculpting when creating some fAnGtAsTiC Paper Mache Pumpkin Lanterns in preparation for Halloween. Owner, Lauren, enjoyed watching as children mixed up gloopy glue potions and applied them in their own unique ways – with a brush, by tipping and dripping as well as by grabbing and spreading using fingers (oozes of fun). The clarty arty fun continued with some


SpLaTtErRiFiC UV Pumpkin Painting sessions. The Petit Picassos quite literally lit up with excitement as they painted and squirted fluorescent paints onto their very own pumpkin in a darkened room with the light from a UV lamp turning their creations from very nice to very neon!


Petit Picasso Art Experiences offers a variety of clarty arty sessions including baby & preschool, after school & holiday and family. They also provide truly unique Paint Splatter Parties for any occasion.
