Planning an Art Party? Here is a list of 35 amazing Art Party treats, cookies, candies, and cake ideas that would be perfect for any Art, Paint, or Rainbow Party!

Art Party Treats

When I was planning my daughter’s Art Party, I was on a budget. Of course, Pinterest was my go-to for inspiration (the next picture down on this page).

I did not want to buy 6 different colored chocolates to match her treats, so I only bought white and made them a little differently.

Using white almond bark, I dipped my rice crispy treats until they were fully covered. Then, I used gel food coloring with some of the almond bark to make my paint colors on top. I only used about a tablespoon or two of each of the colored chocolates and applied it with a small spoon.

It was a little difficult to make the paint oval shaped, but they still turned out pretty awesome!

Cookies

If we are talking about sweets, we can’t forget about cookies! These cookies are also perfect for adding to your Art Party treat list when planning your party!

So speaking of dipping… You can dip oreos in colored melted chocolate or vanilla almond bark and place them in a rainbow just like on Kara’s Party Ideas.

How fun are these cute pencil cookies by Shaken Together Life?!

Another wafer cookie idea by Hoosier Homemade: Dipping them in white chocolate/almond bark and then covering that in sprinkles!

These cookies look like they would be a lot of fun to make! I know my kids would really enjoy splattering the icing on.

You can even have the kids decorate their own cookies! Amy Latta Creations has this fabulous idea for making mosaic cookies which would be a perfect Art Party treat! What kid would not love to decorate their food?!

Similarly, Buzzfeed has a tutorial on making and decorating cookies. This would be a great idea for kids of all ages!

Alternatively, you can have the kids paint toast with edible marshmallow paints like The Tip Toe Fairy.

These rainbow pudding pops would be perfect if the Art Party was outdoors in the Summertime! Thanks for the awesome idea, Random Thoughts Of A Supermom!

Candies

This would be a very simple Art Party treat to make! Just throw some rainbow colored Twizzlers in an empty paint can and sit it on it’s side with the candy flowing out.

Another very simple candy treat! Rainbow candies in a container make one of the easiest ideas on this page, but it still packs a nice visual punch on your party table! This would also be easy to customize in different colors, shapes, and sizes of candies.
