Here are a few quick tips to help you plan the perfect party.
π What ages are best for each party type
Choosing the right art experience helps ensure everyone has fun and leaves proud of what they created. Hereβs a quick guide to what works best by age group:
Ages 5β7
Best options:
π¨ Pottery Painting
ποΈ Simple Canvas Painting

Ages 8β11
Best options:
π¨ Canvas Painting
πΊ Clay Hand-Building
π¨ Pottery Painting
π Clay Wheel Throwing (age and size dependent)
This age group enjoys learning techniques and trying something new. Clay hand-building becomes very popular here because kids love shaping and sculpting their own creations.

Best options:
π¨ Canvas Painting
πΊ Clay Hand-Building
