So most recently I threw my four year old an artist party! It was absolutely fantastic! All of the kids had a ton of fun, which I was grateful for because boy were there a lot of kids there to impress, most importantly my daughters school friends (she is in Pre-K3). I heard multiple kids yell "Best Birthday Ever!" as they were leaving!
That made my heart smile!
So I thought i'd share my pinterest inspired craftiness with you!
I made these out of tan cardstock, I used some tools I have to cut it into an oval shape (artist pallet shape) I then cut two smaller oval holes to imitate an artist painting pallet, using some creative memory cutting tools that I own! :)
Then I took some crafty glitter glue and made - the best I could- little spots of paint :)
The invite reads; Lets put the ART in PARTY
All the rest is pretty generic; time, date, place, rsvp; and don't forget to include
"Wear your art clothes"
Now I wish I would have gotten better photos!! lol
I got these awesome painters aprons from Oriental Trading Company online for a great cost - I think it was like $10 for 12! Can't beat that!
I got these chalkboard easels from Michales, I set up three stations;
1. Sculpting -- with playdoh and accessories
2. Crafting -- drawing, cutting, glueing, coloring, etc.
3. Painting -- obviously. ;-)
The kids had so much fun! On one of the easels I wrote "Every Child is an Artist"
I created a banner of some of my daughters 'masterpieces' :)
Hard at work! I got these easels in a pack, they came with acrilic paint, easels, and canvases with different characters / drawings on them for the kids to paint! They seriously had a blast guys!
Onto the cupcakes! Yes. The best (and worst, food coloring - bah!) part of birthday parties!
I made these little fondant artist pallets, they were super simple, but a but time consuming!
Since I got lazy, I mean I wanted to give people options, I iced half of the cupcakes with a whole lot of colorful icing!!
My birthday girl! <3
THIS! Was the best! It's like a kids version of a guest book! In the frame I wrote "Hey, please take a moment to help make a work of art Avalina will treasure forever! Share a birthday wish, a handprint, or just say 'hi!'" It was so much fun and I hang the finished masterpiece in her playroom for her enjoyment! <3
Thank you SO much for stopping by! You are awesome, have a super day!!
Until next time,
Kim!
