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!
Check out my page explaining how I threw her Art party while on a budget! (I also have the treat bag toppers available in my shop!)
