My Kids Birthday Parties: Arts & Crafts Crayon Theme

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!

Arts and Crafts Party Supplies & Decorations

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
pictured here with my daughter's name and age. We then hung it on the front door to welcome the birthday party guests.

Another fun party decorating idea would be to purchase a white paper tablecloth and have your child make handprints on it with finger paint. Once dry, you will have a terrific tablecover for your Arts & Crafts theme party!

Arts & Crafts Crayon Theme Cupcakes

I decided to make cupcakes for my daughter's Arts and Crafts Crayon birthday party.

I decorated the cupcakes with icing tinted red, blue, green and orange. I topped the cupcakes with colorful sprinkles, crayon box cupcake rings and crayon cupcake picks.

I placed the finished crayon cupcakes into a fun cupcake stand and added crayon candles.

Another Arts and Crafts Crayon theme cake and cupcake decoration includes Crayon Sugar Decorations. These Crayons Sugar Dec-Ons includes 6 pieces per package. Each sugar decoration is approximately 2.125 inches across.

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.

Arts and Crafts Crayon Party Favors

For the birthday party favors, I purchased Smiley Face Pencil Cases to use as the Party Bags.

I filled the pencil case with smiley stickers, crayon bubbles, a personalized pencil, tattoos, bendable crayon characters, crayon erasers, crayon keychains, and assorted candies. I placed the party favor bags in a basket and used them to decorate the party room.

Another Arts & Crafts party favor idea would be to go to your local dollar store and purchase inexpensive paints and paint brushes Other party favor supplies include crayon banks, crayon keychains, handprint favor box, inflatable crayons, crayon favor box and more.

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

Crafts
Since 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.

The Crayon Limbo
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.

Find Lots of Supplies for Your Arts & Crafts Birthday Party!

Crayon Containers

for the party game prizes

I purchased two colorful crayon pots to store the party game prizes. They also made a great party decoration as they were out on the table during the party. I decided to hand out porcupine characters for prizes since they were colorful and fun!

After the party, you could use these crayon pots to store your child's crayons or art supplies. You could also plant a flower in them and give them out as teacher gifts!

Arts & Crafts Party Attire

I purchased Arts & Crafts Crayon theme shirts for the Birthday girl and her sister and brother to wear. They were very cute!
