Children painting canvases at a birthday party at home in Dubai with Dolce Arty

A Dolce Arty kids painting birthday party is a 60 to 90 minute guided painting session for groups of 5 to 20+ children, delivered to homes, gardens, community halls and venues across Dubai. The canvas theme is chosen around the party (characters, animals, the birthday child's name), every child paints their own artwork on real canvas with child-safe acrylics, and all materials, protective coverings and cleanup are included. Sessions are taught by founder Inga Chalaia.

Painting birthday parties are our single most popular kids booking, and for a simple reason: they solve the two problems every Dubai parent has with a party. The children need one activity that holds a whole group for an hour, and the parents need it to happen without a venue booking, a commute or a cleanup afterwards. Inga brings the whole party activity to your door, runs it, and takes the mess away with her.

  • Ages 4 and up, painting adapted to the age group
  • Groups from 5 to 20+ children
  • Themed canvases: characters, animals, unicorns, dinosaurs, names
  • All materials, aprons and floor coverings included
  • We set up, run the session and clean up completely
  • At your home, garden, community hall or venue anywhere in Dubai

How a painting party fits into the birthday

Most families run the painting as the central activity, between arrival and cake. A typical timeline is 15 minutes of setup while guests arrive, 60 to 90 minutes of guided painting, then the canvases dry while everyone eats. Some parents prefer painting as one station alongside other entertainment, which works well for larger groups of 15 or more, where children rotate through in smaller batches.

Themes and what the children actually paint

Every party gets its own canvas design. Common requests are the birthday child's favourite character, animals, unicorns, dinosaurs, space, under the sea, or a design that spells out the child's name. Inga sketches the outline in advance so younger children have a guide to follow, while older ones get more freedom with colour and detail. Every child leaves with a finished piece that looks like the theme, not a random splash of paint.

Ages, group sizes and what to expect

We run parties for children from age 4 upward. For 4 to 6 year olds the canvases are smaller, the session is shorter and the steps are simpler. From 7 up the painting is more detailed and children work more independently. Groups of 5 to 12 are the sweet spot for one instructor; for 13 to 20+ children we bring an assistant so every child still gets guidance. Mixed ages at the same party are fine, we adapt on the spot.

What you provide and what we bring

You provide the space, a table or floor area (tile or covered flooring is ideal), water, and the guests. We bring canvases, child-safe acrylic paints, brushes sized for small hands, aprons, table and floor coverings, and a cleaning kit. If the party is at a hired venue or community hall, we coordinate access and setup with the venue directly so you do not have to.

How to book

  1. 1

    Send us the party details

    Message us on WhatsApp with the date, the birthday child's age, how many children are coming and the party theme if you have one.

  2. 2

    Choose the painting

    Inga proposes two or three canvas designs that fit the theme and the age group, sized so every child finishes in the session.

  3. 3

    Confirm the booking

    Lock the date with a deposit. We send a short prep note: clear a table or floor area, ideally on tile, and we bring everything else.

  4. 4

    We arrive and set up

    Inga arrives 20 minutes before the painting slot with canvases, paints, brushes, aprons and floor coverings. Setup takes about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Children paint, then take their canvas home

    Each child finishes a painting they are proud of. We pack up, clean the area and leave it as we found it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kids painting birthday party cost in Dubai?+

Parties are priced per group, starting from AED 200 per child with the rate dropping as the group grows. Send the date, number of children and their ages on WhatsApp and we reply with a fixed quote that includes all materials, setup and cleanup.

How long does the painting part of the party last?+

Between 60 and 90 minutes of active painting, depending on the age group and the canvas design. Add about 15 minutes for setup before and 15 minutes for cleanup after.

Will the children make a mess in my home?+

We bring full table and floor coverings plus aprons, and we supervise closely. Acrylic on a covered surface is easy to contain. We clean everything before we leave.

Can you run the party at a venue instead of our home?+

Yes. We regularly run painting parties in community halls, clubhouses, restaurants, hotel suites and gardens across Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Ranches and beyond. We handle setup logistics with the venue.

What if some guests are much younger or older than the birthday child?+

That is normal. Inga brings a couple of canvas options and adjusts the guidance per child, so a 5 year old and a 10 year old can paint the same theme side by side.

Do the children take their paintings home the same day?+

Yes. Acrylics dry within the party, so each guest leaves with their finished canvas as the party favour.
