Is the paint safe for children?

We use non-toxic, water-based acrylics, perfect for creating art. Like with any material, if your child has allergies or sensitive skin, a little extra care is always a good idea. Our paint is made for painting and having fun.

Will the paint wash out of clothes?

Paint comes off skin easily, but not from clothes. That is why we provide full protection (raincoats, aprons, shoe covers) so your little ones can paint freely without worries. However, keep in mind that some paint might still accidentally get on clothing, so we recommend wearing clothes you do not mind getting a little messy.

What protection is provided for kids?

Every child gets gear like aprons or raincoats and shoe covers. Our instructors make sure kids are comfortable and safe while they are free to have fun.

Do kids get their own canvas or artwork?

Yes. Each child gets their own canvas, bear figure, or project to take home. Some experiences also include a group piece that the whole family can create together. For the Spin Art experience, children work together on one large spinning machine, but we can create this artwork from several smaller canvases so each child can take home their piece, like friendship bracelets.

Do parents need to help their kids during the workshop?

Our instructors guide kids through every step, but parents are required to stay with their children during the workshop. You can join in the creative process or simply observe, but you will be together in the same space for the entire experience.

Which experience is best for young children (ages 3-6)?

For younger kids, we recommend Fluid Bear, where they decorate their own bear sculpture, or Fluid Art, which lets them pour paint onto canvas. Both are safe, engaging, and easy for little hands. We also suggest adding the Splatter Room experience, where children can freely paint on all surfaces and do things they usually cannot do at home, like drawing on walls.
