Gold-line sand art parties for kids

We 3D print the gold outlines before your party. The kids fill them with coloured sand, and an hour later every child goes home with a coaster and a keychain they made themselves.

How a party works

No wire bending, no glue guns, nothing hot.
The fiddly part is done before we arrive.

Who we are

A family studio in Melbourne

Yuki draws every design. We print the boards on our own machines and run every party and class ourselves, so the person who answers your message is the one who turns up on the day.

We speak English and Mandarin. 我们也说中文。

Questions parents ask

Something else? Text us on 0412 000 000 or message us on Instagram.

Is it messy?

Less than you'd think. Every child works in a deep-sided tray and we vacuum up before we leave.

What age is it for?

5 to 12 works best. Under-5s can join with a parent helping. It isn't suitable for under-3s because of small parts.

What are the glue and sand made of?

Water-based craft glue and non-toxic coloured sand. No heat, no fumes, nothing sharp.

Can the kids take it home straight away?

Yes. We seal each piece before we pack up. It's fully set by the next morning.

How far do you travel?

Free within 25 km of our studio. Further out it's $30, and we go up to 50 km.

What if we need to cancel?

Move your date for free up to 7 days before. Cancel more than 14 days out and we refund your deposit.
