Artsy Party Games

(Have the kids arrive in play clothes, clothes that can get wet and dirty and make sure they have a change of clothes to wear home)

 

Artsy Party: Kids Party Theme Idea

Here the emphasis is color and freedom. This kids party theme should allow children to do what they aren’t supposed to,  like draw on walls (covered in butcher paper or old white bedsheets, of course), and play with their food, or even eat paint!

 

Rainbow/Art Punch

What Is Required For Party Recipe:

  • 6-Large (6 oz) packages of gelatin: grape, blue raspberry, cherry or strawberry, lemon, lime or green apple, apricot or orange

  • Clear punch bowl or clear glasses or jars

  • Clear carbonated beverage or white grape juice

  • Invisible punch mixes that are clear (optional)

 

Preparation:

Get six microwavable containers (2-4 quarts) and heat the water until boiling in the microwave. You can have six available or wash and reuse one or two containers.

Follow the package instructions for making gelatin in the microwave.

Prepare only one at a time.

Set aside.

Get your punchbowl (it must be simple with no ornamentation or it will obscure the rainbow) and pour enough of the gelatin to make a visible layer. (1-3 inches depending on the size of the bowl)

If you are using glasses, make a thin layer at the bottoms of all the glasses and refrigerate until nearly set.

Repeat all the previous instructions for each color until you have a suitable rainbow.

Cover the glasses or punchbowl in cling wrap until the party or serving time.

 

Serving for Kids Party:

 Pour 1-2 bottles of chilled clear juice or soda in the punchbowl or glasses.

 

For Pizzazz: Use a sweet and clear carbonated beverage and sprinkle a little clear drink mix in the glasses or use half the package in the punchbowl. It will make the punch foamy and a little tart.

 

Once the punch is gone, the gelatin can be eaten with a spoon.
