🎉 How to Plan the Ultimate DIY Kids Birthday Party at Our Studio

Planning your child’s birthday party should be exciting—not stressful! At Fisk Avenue, we specialize in turning ordinary birthdays into extraordinary memories with two of the coolest hands-on experiences: Splatter Painting + Pouring and creative Wood Crafting Workshops. Whether you're hosting a party for a curious kindergartener or a creative tween, we’ve got everything you need for a fun-filled, mess-friendly celebration.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to planning the perfect birthday bash at our studio:

1. Choose Your Experience (or Mix & Match!)

Every kid is different—and that’s why we offer flexible party options:

🎨 Splatter Painting + Pouring
Let the kids go wild (in the best way) with paint! Wearing protective gear or painting shirts, they'll create one-of-a-kind masterpieces by flinging, dripping, and brushing paint in our vibrant creative space, the Splatter Zone. Or they can grab a canvas for the messy fun of acrylic pouring or free painting. Bonus: They get to take their artwork home!

🪵 Wood Craft Workshops
If your child loves to build and decorate, our wood crafts are perfect. We provide age-appropriate wooden projects like birdhouses, string art, or photo frames — then bring out the paint, stencils, glitter, and more for ultimate personalization.

🎁 Combo Party? Yes Please!
Can’t decide? Combine both for double the fun! Kids can start with wood crafts, enjoy a snack break, then finish with a painting session.

2. Pick the Perfect Package

We offer customizable party packages based on group size, age, and activity preferences. All packages include:

  • A dedicated party host and instructor
  • Craft set-up and clean-up (we handle the mess!)
  • Art supplies and safety gear (ponchos, glasses, shoe covers)
  • A 3-hour reserved party room for your food, cake, and gifts
  • A drink ticket per guest for a juice box, soda, or water

Optional add-ons include your child's name laser-cut in wood for their craft, a custom painting shirt, and personalized splatter canvas stencils.

3. Send Invites + Prep Guests

We recommend booking your party at least 3–4 weeks in advance. Once your date is set, send out themed invitations (digital or print) with clear instructions for parents (we’ll give you a checklist). Don’t forget to mention:

  • Dress for the mess!
  • Closed-toe shoes required for workshops
  • Drop-off or stay-and-play info (group chaperone required)
  • Sign waivers before crafting

4. Plan the Party Timeline

Here’s a sample 3-hour party flow:
Time Activity
0:00–0:30 Arrive, decorate + set out food
0:30–0:45 Guest arrival + welcome
0:45–1:45 Wood crafting or painting
1:45–2:15 Switch activity or add games
2:15–2:30 Food + birthday cake
2:30–2:45 Gift opening + goodie bags
2:45–3:00 Guests leave + pack up

Our team will guide everything, so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.

5. Leave the Clean Up to Us!

The best part of hosting your child’s birthday at our studio? You walk out with happy kids and zero mess at home. We handle all the paint splatters, glitter spills, and wood shavings—so you can focus on the memories, not the mop.
