Birthday Party Programs

Confetti Canvas Creations
Get ready for a burst of color and creativity with Confetti Canvas Creations! Young artists will design and paint their very own canvas masterpiece, then craft and decorate a confetti popper to celebrate their creativity. Once the artwork is complete, the real fun begins—pop, toss, and cheer as confetti fills the air in a dazzling display! This hands-on activity can get a little messy and is best suited for children ages 8-12, as it involves multiple steps. Let’s create, celebrate, and make a masterpiece of memories!

Polka Dot Art Party
Get ready to dot, dot, dot your way to a masterpiece! Inspired by the colorful technique of pointillism, young artists will explore artwork from the museum’s collection before creating their own vibrant designs—one dot at a time! Using Q-tips as their painting tool, they’ll bring their creativity to life in a fun and hands-on way. This activity can get a little messy and is perfect for little artists ages 2 and up.

Scavenger Hunt
Explore the museum and uncover hidden treasures! Use picture clues to find exciting artifacts like the dragon boat, a baby elephant in a Thailand celebration, and tiny details in our Youth Art collection.
Once you’ve found them all, bring your scavenger hunt sheet to the front desk for your official Museum Explorer stamp! Best for ages 3 and up, with picture clues for beginning readers to follow independently. Let the adventure begin!

Splat-Tastic Birthday Smash!
Get ready for a smashing good time with Splat-Tastic Birthday Smash! Young artists will unleash their creativity with colorful splatter art, using paint, a play mallet, and plenty of excitement—without the mess! With every splat and whack, their masterpiece comes to life in this high-energy, sensory-friendly art experience. This activity is low-mess and perfect for children ages 2 and up.
If noise is a concern, we can swap the play mallet for hands-on fun, letting kids squish, slap, and splatter their way to a masterpiece! Let the creativity (and color) fly!
