Picasso Art Party!

My sweet little girl turned 4 last week and
had been talking about an Art Party for months!

It was the first time to invite classmates over
to her house for a party and she was beaming
with excitement!

I have so many pictures so bare with me
in this super size of a feature!

The little artist were greeted by a
birthday balloon wreath!
So super easy!  You must make one! 


And my Sweet Birthday Girl!
Don't you love that shirt!
The ever fabulous Kristina at Modern Frills never disappoints! 
 They are great shirts! 


The first task for my Mini Picasso's
were to make Picasso Pops!
My daughter's help me smash up colorful candies
and place them into bowls divided by colors.
Each guest made their own lollipops!


I wish I had pictures of the finished product...
however I had my hands full!
(Note to self:  Hire a Photographer!)

After making their Picasso Pops,
each little artist found their art supplies
in the Art Cubby that I set up.



Next, my little artists were off for a little
sand art fun!


After finishing their sand art, they painted
their own Picasso Masterpiece.
The kids were so creative! 
Who needs a little treat?
The kids had a little snack with painting
from these fabulous Kandy Kones


Starving Artist?
Yes, after all of that hard work, it was time to eat!

I kept the table design simple.
A row of colorful pails with matching pinwheels lined the table.
I cut the place mats out of colorful foam sheets
and added the dots to make a painters palette.



I tied up the gable boxes with a tag that
read "Starving Artist" and attached a paint brush
for a little added touch.


After all of that fun and lunch....
it is time for some sweets right?


Raibow Lantern hung above the Sweets Table...


I knew I had to have this ruffled table skirt as soon as
my daughter said "Art Party"!

The sweets table included this Fabulous Cake,
Cupcakes, Painters Palette Cookies, Colorful Gumballs,
Crayola Jelly Bellies, and last but not least..
Rainbow Cake Push Cakes!





The kids all made their own gumball masterpiece
to take home with them.



I had so much fun making the push cakes!
I had a little snag with the box displays
and had to serve them upside down,
but hey...it worked.

If you are looking for a tutorial to make you own
push ups head over to this post:

The kids loaded up their Art Cubby with Sand Art,
Paintings, Gumballs, and this fun little favor!

The favors were 4 small containers with
colorful playdoh in each. I tied them up with
some twine and included a mini polling pin,
and heart shaped cookie cutter on top!



I had so much fun planning this fun and colorful party
for my daughter!
Art is such a fun activity for little ones!
