Art Party Ideas

Use these ideas for your next Art birthday party to create and plan your own masterpiece.  Having an art party for kids brings out the creativity in everyone. 

Invitation Ideas for an Art Party

Make invitations for an Art Party in black and white coloring book design and attach a crayon so birthday party guests can color in the Art invitation.

Have your child color a picture on the front of blank note cards, then send through the printer to add the birthday information on the inside.

Any brightly colored pre-made invitation

Art Party Decorations

Attach large sheets of white butcher block paper to cover the table(s) where the children will be sitting.  On the white paper scatter pens, pencils, markers and color crayons around the table and ask them to color where they will be sitting.

Use empty paint cans to hold flatware.

Set out large artist palettes with a different colored candy (skittles or M&M’s work great) in each place on the palette.

Use artist palettes for plates.

Buy several different packages of solid colors plates, napkins, cups and flatware and mix and match them around the birthday cake table.

Tie brightly colored helium balloons on the backs of chairs around the table and tie with several different colors of curling ribbon.

Tie brightly colored helium balloons outside on the mailbox. Large crayons (the big plastic Crayola banks), large paint brushes (string mops) and posters.

Fun Ideas
Ask Home Depot for aprons or find inexpensive aprons at the craft store. Use to keep clothes clean and also as a party favor they can decorate and take home.

Painting
Hang up large poster boards on fences or walls.  Give each poster station a set of watercolors, a brush, small container of water and paintbrushes.
