35 Colorful Art Party Treat Ideas For An Awesome Birthday

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!

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.

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.

How To Make A Rainbow Balloon Backdrop

This post may contain affiliate links. See disclosure page for details.

When I was planning my daughter’s 4th birthday party (Art Party themed), I knew I wanted to make a statement with a backdrop.

Rainbow Balloon Garland Backdrop

I wasn’t sure what kind of backdrop at first, but I knew I wanted balloons and rainbows! Starting with that in mind I searched Pinterest until I decided on making a fringe backdrop with a balloon garland.

Now, I had never made a balloon garland before, so I didn’t really know how many balloons I would need or how many of each size.

I ended up getting a basic rainbow balloon kit off of Amazon. It was a good price for number of balloons I would get. It was also perfect since it came with all the colors of the rainbow and 3 different sizes of balloons!

Since I was making a rainbow balloon garland, I wanted the rest of the backdrop to be plain, but not TOO plain.

The White Fringe Backdrop

I made a white fringe backdrop with shimmery metallic strands mixed in to give it a little extra pop. You can easily leave out the shimmery strands, but my 3-year-old was all about glitter, so it worked perfectly for us!

White fringe backdrop

The fringe was made with 6 plain white rectangle plastic tablecloths that I got from the Dollar Tree and 1 holographic door curtain from Hobby Lobby. You can also get the tablecloths and door curtain from Amazon if you don’t want to go to the store. (If you want a large balloon garland like what mine ended up being, I would recommend doubling this)

Here is a great tutorial by The House Of Hood Blog on how to make a fringe backdrop.

The way I did mine was 5-7 strips of white, and then 3-4 strands of the tinsel tied together. I did 2 strings of fringe and used 6 tablecloths all together. One strand was on the top half of my backdrop stand, and one on the bottom.

When I put the strips on, I put them at varying lengths to give it a more random look. It took about 4 hours to get done (while dealing with 3 little ones).

I love how it turned out!

The Rainbow Balloon Garland

After I attached them to my backdrop stand (You can get one here if you need one!) I got to work on my rainbow balloon garland.

A couple of my little ones were having a rough day so I completely forgot to get pictures of building my garland. I’ll do a full tutorial on my next garland with pictures (and hopefully video!)

First, I blew up all of my balloons with my balloon pump (so easy and quick!!!)

Me and my balloons

Then, starting with my 12″ balloons, I combined each color together two at a time. Next, I stuck them all together with a fishing line.

After that, I put the rainbow balloon garland of 12″ balloons on the backdrop stand where I liked it, and secured it with more fishing line.

The 18″ balloons came next. I attached each to a piece of fishing line and stuck them on the garland where I judged them to look best. I did try to have more visual weight at the bottom, but since I was concentrating on keeping the colors each in their own color block, I was limited on how to make that happen.

Finally, I put the 5″ balloons in clusters of 4. Then, combined 2 clusters with a bit of string, and placed them in any holes that I saw in the design.

I finalized the whole look with one of my printable banners. I made these specifically for my daughter’s Art Party (You can read more about it here)

All in all, I think I did pretty good for it being my first time!
