Activities: We went to the Nils Olsson factory, which has been making these little horses since 1928! "The children monopolized the observation room for a good half hour." We saw the first layer of paint being applied, and then the hand-painted decorations. We were able to see painters in action
Highlights: The kids loved watching the painters! They were mesmerized by the woman adding the floral decorations with her brush. "Each horse is unique" We were so happy that we could stay as long as we wanted ✨
