A kids paint party that comes to you.
No driving to a studio. No parking. No corralling kids through a shopping center. We show up at your home, backyard, or party venue with everything needed for a full art experience. Ages 5 and up, all skill levels, all supplies included.
The party happens where the kids already are.
Studio paint parties require you to transport a group of excited kids to an unfamiliar space, manage parking, and work around a fixed schedule shared with other groups. A mobile party flips that entirely.
Tamara has been teaching art since 1990 and knows how to pace a class for kids. She brings the instruction, the supplies, and the energy. You provide the space and the birthday kid. When the paint dries and the last canvas is wrapped to go home, we break everything down and leave. The party stays at your house. The mess does not.

The studio alternative
Studio paint party providers require you to travel to their location, share the space with other parties, and work within their fixed time slots. For a kids birthday party, mobile is almost always the better experience for everyone in the room.
Art experiences kids actually get excited about.
Every option is fully mobile. We bring everything to your venue and handle all cleanup.
Canvas Painting
Step-by-step guided painting on canvas using non-toxic acrylic paints. Tamara adapts the design and pacing to the age group. Every child leaves with a finished painting they made themselves.
Most popularGlow in the Dark Painting
UV-reactive paint that glows when the lights go out. Kids go wild for the reveal moment. One of the most requested experiences for older kids and tweens who want something genuinely different.
Crowd favoriteMixed Media
Paint, texture, ribbon, and collage all on one canvas. A looser, more expressive experience that works especially well for kids who want to experiment rather than follow a structured design.
High energyCustom Sign Painting
Each child paints a wood sign with their name, a favorite word, or a design of their choice. A keepsake they can hang in their room. Great for older kids and tweens who want something personal.

More than just birthday parties.
Any gathering of kids who want to make something is the right occasion.
Birthday Party
The most popular booking. Every child leaves with a finished painting as a party favor they actually made. The birthday kid can request a custom design -- a favorite animal, character style, or color palette built just for their party.
School Event or Classroom
End-of-year celebrations, art enrichment days, and after-school events. Tamara has the experience and patience to manage a full classroom and keep every age level engaged through a complete painting.
Sleepover Activity
A paint party as the anchor activity for a sleepover gives kids something to do together before the chaos starts. Everyone finishes with their own canvas and the evening has a natural, satisfying shape to it.
Camp or Community Event
Summer camps, community centers, church youth groups, and neighborhood events. We scale to the group size and can work with larger numbers when given enough lead time to plan supplies.
Holiday Party
Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day -- seasonal paintings are some of the most requested designs for kids. We have holiday-appropriate designs for every time of year and can build something custom around your theme.
Mixed Age Group
Siblings, cousins, kids and teens together. Tamara adjusts her instruction on the fly and can run a session where a 6-year-old and a 14-year-old are both fully engaged at the same time with the same project.
We come to you anywhere across Southern California.
Your backyard, your living room, your community clubhouse, your party venue. We have run kids paint parties in Irvine backyards, Newport Beach beach houses, Pasadena community rooms, and Riverside party spaces. If you have a space and a group, we can build an experience around it.
