birthday party painting
It's been a busy summer holiday so far. I recently threw an 8th birthday party for my daughter in Vancouver. As with most birthday party celebrations for kids, you want your little guests to have a good time. Our guests were between the ages of 5-10 years old so what better activity than painting? I picked up 8x8" canvases, the three primary colours in washable acrylic paint, a few pie tins and an assortment of brushes from the dollar store. I told the kids what colours the primary colours made and to feel free to incorporate elements from the garden. I grabbed a handful of grass as an example, which got me a few giggles. They kept busy at their creations for almost 30 minutes. I was amazed (but not surprised) at the creativity! Now to throw an adult painting party.

great party idea, k! now, can you do this if your kid's birthday falls in the winter? what does an indoor paint-party look like? egad. xx
absolutely! it would take some large plastic sheets, but totally doable.
