Painting Parties

My daughter recently attended her friend’s 5th birthday party. The celebration was held at a local painting studio called, Picasso’s Corner. The party was themed after the Disney movie, Frozen.

When we arrived, tables were lined up with easels, canvases, and painting supplies. The party host also had a table filled with yummy snacks and drinks. There was even beer and wine for the adults.

Once all of the guests arrived, the painting instructor had everyone follow along. She stood at the front of the room and showed the kids how to paint step-by-step.
They began by painting their background. They mixed together blue and white paint for a lighter blue shade. Next, they used a splatter paint technique to add white “snow” to the canvas.

While we waited for the background to dry, we ate chicken tenders, pasta salad, fruit salad, veggies & dip, and cake. The kids really enjoyed this time together. They chatted about their exciting canvas painting experiences.

After getting a bite to eat, it was time for the next step in the painting process. The instructor walked around the room drawing a sketch with chalk on each canvas. This would be their guide for painting.

Step by step, the children began painting their character. First, the body. Then, the arms and hair. And finally, the facial features. The children loved seeing their Olaf painting creations come to life!

This was one of the best birthday parties that we have ever attended! It was so much fun! The kids had a blast & they got to take home an Olaf canvas that they painted all by themselves. It was definitely a party to remember.

I had so much fun at this party that I’m planning on having my husband’s 40th and daughter’s 20th birthday there. It would be a joint party (since their birthdays are only 2 days apart) and we can have all the family together. I think it would be a blast!
