Girly Arts & Crafts Party Supplies
from American Girl
These American Girl Crafts party supplies would be perfect for daughter's Arts and Crafts theme birthday party.The partyware design features paintbrushes, glue and craft scissors as well as the text "I Love Art" and "Create". Whether they are an American Girl fan or not, I think these party supplies would work well since the 'American Girl' logo text is very small and not prominent on the design.
If they are an American Girl fan hosting an Arts & Crafts theme party, then this partyware is spot on!

Our Arts and Crafts Party Invitations
custom made party invites
For my daughter's Arts and Crafts party invitations, I created custom invitations using Create & Print.My daughter drew a picture. I then scanned the picture and inserted it onto the card with a decorative photo frame from my photo editing program. I downloaded some crayon clipart to complete the invitation.
On the inside of the birthday invitation, I included all of the party details such as date, time, place, etc. I was really happy how they turned out!

The party decor was all about color! I incorporated brightly colored blue, red, yellow, green and orange plates, cups, napkins, utensils, etc.We decorated the party room with colorful balloons & streamers. I also purchased two crayon ballons to add to the Arts & Crafts party theme.
I collected some of my daughter's favorite drawings she had made, matted them on colored construction paper and hung them around the room to resemble an art gallery.
I found a large fabric crayon hanging to accent the party room. It was perfect! We also personalized the Crayon theme cardboard decoraton

Arts and Crafts Theme Snack Palettes
unique way to serve your birthday party treats!
For fun party snack trays, I purchased two plastic paint palettes. I filled each paint palette with colorful Goldfish crackers and pretzel sticks.There are many other paint palettes on the market that you could use for your snack trays. Another idea would be to fill paint cups with the snacks. Paint palettes are inexpensive and really pull the Arts and Crafts party theme together!
Party Note: These paint palettes would also make a wonderful birthday party activity. You could play the classic penny toss game and have the guests try to toss the pennies into the different sections of the palette. Each section would have a point value.

Rainbow Crayon Cupcakes
great for party favors or for a fun crayon party activity!
I came across this Rainbow Crayon Cupcake Recipe the other day and thought it would be perfect for an Arts & Crafts Crayon birthday party!Making crayon cupcakes is a great way to recycle old and broken crayons and they also make a fun party favor or party acitivity.
You could make the rainbow crayon cupcakes ahead of time and either 1) wrap them in cello bags and hand them out as inexpensive party favors, or 2) have them out on the table for the party guests to color with.
Another idea would be to make the crayon cupcakes during the party. Have a bunch of old crayons out on the table when the kids first arrive. The children can each take a small handful of crayons, remove the labels and break them into pieces. Then they can each put their handful of crayons into a cupcake liner. After the crayon cupcakes are baked and cooled, they can be used during the party or put into the party favor bags for the kids to take home.

Arts and Crafts Party Games & Activities
Crafts ~ Bean Bag Toss ~ Pin the Paint on the Palette ~ The Crayon Limbo ~ Pinata
CraftsSince I knew I was going to have a large number of guests, I purchased crafts that the kids could do without much assistance including Magic Scratch Bookmarks, Magic Scratch Glasses, Design Your Own Visor and Artist Cups. I also purchased plain white bags for the kids to decorate with stickers and markers when they first arrived. They used these bags to keep all of their party goodies in!
Colorful Bean Bag Toss
I purchased a colorful bean bag game. This coordinated with the crayon theme nicely.
Pin the Paint on the Palette Game
A take off on 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. I purchased birthday party poster board at Staples and drew a large paint palette on it with the yellow color palette missing. I accented the palette by taping on real paint brushes. I cut out yellow circles and put each child's name on it. During the party, I added some double stick tape to the circle so the kids could stick it to the game board.
I purchased a large inflatable crayon. The kids did the Limbo Rock under the giant crayon!
Pinata
I had searched and searched, but could not find a good pinata for the party theme, so I went with a colorful #6 pinata for my daughter. It wasn't until after the birthday party that I found the Crayon Box pinata featured below.

You could also plant a flower in them and give them out as teacher gifts!
