Our First Birthday Party!

Last weekend, Artastic had its first "Kids" birthday party . . . . and the bar was set high! And by high, I mean sky high! A fellow Jr. Leaguer booked her son Hunter's birthday party during our Grand Opening back in September. Talk about on the ball . . . she even came to scope the place out to see how she could decorate. Boy Cassie did not disappoint. The whole party was centered around an Art theme. From the craft to the food, you definitely felt craftastic at the end of this party!



Party Boy: Hunter aka Midget
Event: 4th Birthday!
Theme: Art Party
Project: Initial Canvases


For the craft, each child was given an 8x10 in canvas with the child's first initial. Prior to the party, I used my Cricut and vinyl to easily cut out each child's initial and transferred it to the canvas. The kids used brushes, sponges, stamps, and rollers to paint their canvas with tempera paint. The kids had a ball painting and all the canvases turned out very . . . colorful! After their paintings were dry, we peeled off the vinyl and their letter "magically" appeared in their artwork.



Once their masterpieces were complete, it was time for the starving artists to attack the food (which of course was Art themed). Cassie did an OUTSTANDING job with the food and favors! Below are all the fun and yummy treats she served:

Paint Chips



Paint Balls


Paint Brushes


Water Colors


Pops of Color


Painter's Tape


Party Favors


Look at all the fun art we made for Hunter's 4th Birthday!

  2. Excellent kid's painting project! What is the name of the font you used? I like the rounded serif edges and the curl of the "J"!
