art themed party

I love the idea of an art party and this 4th birthday by Judy from Cutest Little Things gives lots of inspiration to get you started on your own!

The treat table is usually the favorite of all and Judy did not disappoint with hers!...


She created amazing cookie lollipops, and number, crayon, and artist palette shaped cookies...




She had a healthy snack mix as well with custom toppers from Peas and Thank You's (chalkboard labels and signs throughout by Bradens Grace)...


And, who could resist this fun cake adorned with polka dots and crayons?!...


Look at these custom chocolate paintbrushes by Mandie's Candies...


And, irresistible giant lollipops...


There were also rice krispie treat lollipops with colorful m&m's inside, Edible pretzel crayons (dipped in colorful candy melts and wrapped in crayon-like wrappers), fruit loop sticks (great for wee little ones!), colorful rock candy sticks, m&m's, skittles, and even a gumball machine!

And, to wash all of these goodies down (along with lunch), there were custom water bottles...



sipped out of striped paper straws from fort & field of course!

Guests could take some of the goodies home in cookies printed bags and striped paper bags from fort & field...


There were chalkboards on easels set up around the yard and smaller chalkboards and dry erase boards set on the tables. Judy also cut a roll of brown kraft paper to the perfect size for a table runner and painted it with chalkboard paint. With pails of brightly colored chalk set out, guests could doodle while they ate!...


For most of the party the kids were free to run and play in the backyard, but Judy did have a really cute art project that was everyone's favorite activity. She purchased a package of blank 8" X 10" canvases at Michael's. With various acrylic paints that she had on hand, she painted every canvas a different, bright solid color. On the day of the party, each child had their hand rolled in white tempera paint and pressed them down on their canvas color of choice to make a personalized hand print painting!...


For the takeaway party favors, each child received a handy tote filled with a box of crayons, a few containers of party-size Playdoh, a colorful art apron, and a bag of alphabet shaped crayons that Judy made by melting down crayons in alphabet silicone molds...


So many special details and certainly a party where everyone had fun! To see more of the details from this party, see the full post here.
