Color Powder Art
Release the kids’ inner Picassos by setting up an art station! Through art, kids learn to imagine, create, and think outside the box—invaluable skills in childhood and throughout life. Plus, making art is fun, especially with unique mediums and tools involved. With color powder, water, and different painting surfaces, you can set up an engaging art station that the kids will love.
Canvas Painting
Canvas painting is a fun birthday activity that allows everyone to leave with a beautiful keepsake. Provide plain canvas boards, brushes, and bowls of color powder mixed with a little water to create a paint-like consistency. Watch as they splash, mix, and blend the colors to create vibrant masterpieces.
Using color powders offers a kid-friendly and easy-to-clean alternative to acrylic or watercolor paints. When it dries, the color powder has a chalk-like consistency. Color Chameleon powders contain non-toxic, FD&C-approved ingredients, making them safe for kids.
Sidewalk Art
Nothing screams fun like turning the pavement into a canvas, where kids can unleash their creativity and paint the town. Our sidewalk chalk paint kits provide all you need to paint the ground. With chalk paint squirt bottles in hand, watch as the little artists sketch their dreams, from dazzling dragons to serene landscapes.
Magical Color Powder Balloons
Water balloon fights are fun, and you can make them better with color powder balloons! Fill biodegradable balloons with different color powders. When these balloons gently burst (either by pin or by hitting), they create a magical puff of color in the air! It’s a delightful sight, resulting in a colorful shower of giggles and awe.
Mini Party Poppers
Making mini party poppers is another great DIY project that brings color to birthday celebrations. These pint-sized powerhouses are easy to make and spectacular to witness. All you need are small push-pop containers, your favorite color powder, and a dash of excitement. Fill the containers with layers of vivid color powder. At the count of three, have the kids pop them open to release a breathtaking cascade of colors into the air! Not only is it an absolute blast, but it’s also a perfect photo op that captures the joy of the celebration.
Color Chase Obstacle Course
Create a mini obstacle course in your backyard, and integrate color stations where participants get lightly dusted with color powder as they pass through. It’s like your very own color run! Color obstacle courses get the kids moving and laughing as they race through the rainbow-hued path.
Map out a thrilling circuit using items you have around the house—hula hoops for hopping, cardboard boxes as tunnels, and pool noodles for limbo sticks. Each station should present a unique challenge and include a splash of color powder. Whether it’s a sprinkle station where they get dusted in hues as they crawl under a net or a color balloon pop zone, the idea is to make each obstacle a vibrant surprise.
Colorful Treasure Hunt
Get ready for the ultimate adventure with a colorful DIY treasure hunt that promises to dazzle and delight! Like the color obstacle course, colorful treasure hunts include bursts of color here and there. Hide clues in balloons filled with color powder, and use vibrant treasures, like hand-painted rocks and colorful goodies. Scatter clues throughout the party space, leading excited little explorers on a trail to their treasure.
Each clue balloon, when popped, reveals a puff of magic hiding the hint, guiding them closer to their prize. This colorful treasure hunt is a thrilling way to blend the excitement of discovery with the joy of color, leaving trails of laughter and colorful footprints.
Fairy Dust Bottles
Bring some magic to the party with fairy dust! Let kids create their very own bottles of fairy dust using fine color powder and glitter. With small jars and their choice of color powder mixed with glitter, the kids can create mesmerizing swirls of sorcery in a bottle. Fairy dust bottles are perfect party favors and decorative keepsakes!
Rainbow Sand Bottles
Rainbow sand bottles are another DIY bottle project to explore. Substitute colored sand with color powder for this crafty project. Provide clear bottles or jars, funnels, and spoons for the kids to layer powder colors and create rainbow-esque sand art. Making rainbow sand bottles is a peaceful activity that can be a nice wind-down after all the high-energy fun.
Color War
Transform your backyard into an exhilarating arena of laughter and vibrancy with the ultimate color war—a testament to the jubilant chaos kids adore! Outline your arena, and create fun obstacles and barriers with cardboard boxes, inflatable pools, or outdoor furniture. When the arena is set, arm each child with pouches of our non-toxic color powder, keeping a few extras with you for inevitable refills.
Piñata Color Shower
Create a rainbow shower with a piñata full of color powder and candy! Like any other piñata, have the kids take turns hitting it. When it finally bursts open, it showers everyone below in dazzling colors and sweets—a magical dream come true!
Color Powder Field Games
Elevate traditional field games into an explosion of color and excitement! All you need is open space and our color balls.
Capture the Flag
Split the party into two teams, designating each with a specific color. Arm team members with color powder balls that match their team hue.
The rest of the game is the same, but instead of tagging opponents, the kids have to throw color balls. The winning team will not only have their competitor’s flag but will also have their team color painted on their enemies.
King of the Hill
For king of the hill, the reigning champion could hurl color powder balls to defend their summit, creating a visually stunning defense. This colorful twist adds a layer of fun and brings a visual element to the victory, making the game more memorable.
Outdoor Dodgeball
Switch out sports balls with color powder alternatives for a colorful outdoor game of dodgeball. The game’s goal is the same: don’t get hit by the (color) ball.
