🧵 Patch Parties – The Fashionable DIY Art Party Favorite
Patch Parties are one of the trendiest and most interactive art party options for kids in Long Island and NYC. They combine creativity with style, giving guests the chance to design their own wearable keepsakes.
Here’s how it works: We bring a wide selection of colorful patches, letters, shapes, and themed designs along with hats, tote bags, or other accessories. Guests choose their favorite items and arrange their patches in a custom layout. Then, our team secures the patches, turning their designs into real, usable fashion pieces.
Why Parents & Kids Love Patch Art Parties
- Functional party favors – No more throwaway goodie bags. Kids leave with a personalized item they’ll actually use.
- Encourages self-expression – Every child’s creation is unique, boosting confidence and creativity.
- Perfect for tweens & older kids – This activity feels trendy and age-appropriate for a wide range of ages.

🎨 Paint Art Parties – An Art Studio Delivered to Your Door
With our Paint Parties in Long Island and NYC, you don’t have to drive to a crowded studio for an art party. We transform your living room, backyard, or community space into a bright, colorful art zone.
We provide canvases, easels, aprons, paints, and brushes — along with friendly, experienced hosts who guide kids through each step of the painting process. Whether it’s whimsical animals, magical unicorns, or beach sunsets, we can tailor the art project to your theme.
Why Paint Parties are a Hit
- Inclusive for all skill levels – Even kids who say “I can’t draw” will surprise themselves.
- Relaxing yet exciting – Kids stay engaged but calm, making it perfect for parents, too.
- Beautiful keepsakes – Guests go home with framed-worthy artwork.
Pro Tip: Pair a Paint Party with a Teepee Slumber Party so guests can hang their creations in their tents overnight.
🧪 Slime Art Parties – Messy Fun Without the Mess at Home
Slime parties are still one of the most requested kids’ art party ideas in NYC and Long Island — and with Up Parties, you can finally say “yes” without worrying about slime stuck to your furniture.
Our Slime Parties include everything kids need to make their own gooey masterpieces: colorful slime bases, mix-ins like glitter and foam beads, scented oils, and themed charms. We guide them through the process step-by-step and handle all the cleanup when the fun’s done.
Why Parents Choose Our Slime Parties
- Zero stress – We keep the mess contained and clean everything afterward.
- Customizable themes – Mermaid slime, galaxy slime, birthday sparkle slime — you name it.
- Built-in party favor – Every child takes home their own jar of slime.
Best Pairings:

- Slime + Patch Party for tactile and fashion fun
🌈 Tie-Dye Art Parties – Colorful Creations to Wear & Share
Tie-dye is back and better than ever — and our Tie-Dye Parties in Long Island and NYC are perfect for birthdays, school spirit days, or summer gatherings. An art party type that is here to say and never fades.
We bring shirts along with vibrant dyes, gloves, aprons, and all protective materials. Guests twist, fold, and bind their fabric before adding bursts of color to create totally unique designs.
Why Tie-Dye Parties Stand Out
- Perfect for outdoor events – But can also be done indoors with our protective setups.
- Wearable keepsakes – Kids love wearing their designs to remember the day.
- Endless creativity – No two tie-dye patterns are alike.
