For ready-made personalized aprons, head to Esty and order aprons with the party guests’ names on them. Another option is to buy kid-sized art aprons in bulk and personalize them yourself with fabric pens.

Canvas painting
Painting parties are lively, full of color, and easy to organize. Paint party studios are all the rage for adults, but many of them offer canvas painting parties for kids as well. The perk of having a painting party at a studio is that the venue takes care of most of the major details. If you prefer and have the space, hosting a canvas painting party at home is a low-stress option, too. Even better if you can do the canvas painting party outside. Doing it outside makes cleanup easier.
Paint party studios offer virtual paints where the host receives a video link detailing the step-by-step painting process. Kids can follow along and paint their individual masterpieces, which also double as favors. Sometimes the canvas and paints are included when booking a virtual paint party. If not, you can purchase canvases, easels, paintbrushes, and paint in bulk online or at a local craft store.
Fabric painting party
Another expressive art-themed birthday party idea is to have a make-and-take fabric painting party. Guests can use fabric paint and/or markers to decorate T-shirts, hats, socks, canvas bags, and even sneakers. For shirts and sneaker painting, have parents supply sizes when they RSVP.
Watercolor painting party
Let kids dabble in the abstract by having a watercolor painting party. Supply kids with a watercolor set and paper. Allow their inner artist to explode as they create their own watercolor masterpieces. Watercolor sets double as a party favor, too.
Painting party stations
An innovative way to incorporate various types of painting at an art-themed birthday party is to set up different artistic stations. Outfit areas for sponge painting, finger painting, watercolors, fabric painting, and canvas painting. The kiddos can let their inner artists come out at each station and all their creative pieces go home as favors.
Pumpkin painting
Fall art-themed birthday parties are earmarked for a pumpkin painting party. Set up outside if the weather permits or deck out the garage for an indoor/outdoor pumpkin painting party. Each party guest receives a pumpkin and a pumpkin paint kit. The decorative pumpkin and the kit also serve as party favors. Kids will have a lot of fun creating their own jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween.
Ornament painting party
If your art lover’s birthday falls during the holiday season, kids will have an amazing time painting their own ornaments. Set up an assortment of unfinished wooden ornaments in holiday shapes and provide each painter with a washable nontoxic paint set. The children can let their artistic juices flow by painting ornaments to take home.
Chalk drawing
Another imaginative idea for an art-themed birthday party is to take it outside for a sidewalk chalk-drawing party. Kids use sidewalk chalk to make their own drawings or be inspired to create drawings for a given theme like superheroes.
Chalk drawing parties are ideal for spring, summer, and early fall birthdays when the weather cooperates. Be sure to set up other art stations like a drawing and a coloring area for kids when they’re done with their sidewalk drawings.
