5 Reasons Why Art and Craft Parties are the New Go-To
Planning your child’s birthday can be overwhelming, from juggling guest lists, themes, activities, to of course, trying to keep everyone happy. If you’re looking for something fresh, creative, and also enriching for the children, craft parties might just be the answer!
Here’s why more and more parents in Singapore are choosing art and craft parties as their go-to birthday celebration.
1. Every Child Brings Home a One-of-a-Kind Souvenir
Forget plastic party bags filled with random toys - at a craft party, kids get to create their own keepsake. Whether it’s a hand-painted tote bag, a beaded keychain, or their own mini canvas masterpiece, each child leaves with something they’re proud of. It's a fun activity and a meaningful memento rolled into one. Now, both parents and kids will look back on your child’s birthday party with fond memories of the creativity that ensued!
2. Creative, Fun, and Screen-Free
We get it; in Singapore today, kids are constantly surrounded by screens from TV to iPads. That’s why craft parties are such a refreshing change. They’re hands-on, imaginative, and keep children engaged from start to finish without the use of any screens. Parents love seeing their kids focused and having fun in real life — no tablets or TV in sight!
3. Safe and Stress-Free for Parents
Let’s be honest: some parties can feel more chaotic than fun (especially for parents!), especially when physical activities like bouncy castles are involved. Craft parties are organised, calm (okay, we have some creative chaos in there as well), and fully hosted. That means less mess, less stress, and more time for you to actually enjoy the celebration. At Side Quest, our packages include setup, materials, and clean-up — all done for you.
4. Easily Matched to Any Party Theme
Unicorns, dinosaurs, outer space, rainbows - no matter your theme, there’s a craft to match! We offer fully bespoke party packages, customising your child’s favourite theme in a way that they will love! From painting and beading to themed DIY kits, it’s easy to make the experience feel truly personal - simply contact us to make your dream party theme happen.
5. Perfect for All Ages and Group Sizes
Got a mix of ages in your party group, from younger siblings to older cousins? No problem. Craft activities are flexible and adaptable, making them ideal for mixed-age groups (mummies and daddies can even join in the fun!) Kids can work at their own pace, and everyone gets to be part of the fun, whether you're hosting 10 kids or 15.
