4Cats for Birthday Parties

4Cats Art Studio http://www.4cats.com/ recently opened in Hintonburg on Wellington. 4Cats is a franchise art studio geared towards kids and teens with a variety of art themed programs and camps. One thing I didn't know is that they also host birthday parties.

My 6 year old daughter was invited to her friends "Paint Splatter" themed birthday party at 4Cats on Saturday. This was one of the 6 different art themed parties they have. The party runs for an hour and 45 minutes and within that time they created a masterpiece, had a parent supplied snack and cake and then opened presents. Creating the masterpiece I was told was a "great" time. All the girls got to splatter paint on a canvas. The splattering experience involved spraying paint with paint brushes, throwing "paint" balloons and squirting syringes filled with paint.

I must let you know, I highly recommend that you read the birthday party invitation supplied from 4Cats. I just read what time the party started at but skipped over the other details, particularly the one that said "Please wear really old clothes and shoes. Things get messy!". My daughter was wearing her normal dressy birthday party attire. 4Cats did supply her with an old t-shirt but with paint being sprayed everywhere, she still managed to be covered in paint. Her black boots, dress and tights were covered in a rainbow spray of paint, she had paint all over her face and my favourite; she had a pink streak of paint in her hair. Luckily the paint washed off, so Mom and kid were happy.
