Looking for a birthday party in Hull or East Yorkshire that’s full of creativity, colour and joy?
Our craft parties for 7–9 year olds are the perfect blend of hands-on fun and growing independence—designed for curious kids who love to make, decorate and create.
Whether they’re painting tote bags, sculpting with silk clay, or designing their own 3D canvas, these parties are exciting, engaging and age-appropriate.
Best of all? Everyone leaves with something they made themselves—and memories to match.
In this slime party, kids are the scientists! They'll mix up their own batch of super stretchy slime, then customise it with glitter, scents, charms and more. It’s hands-on, a little messy, and
so much fun.
Plus, they’ll get to decorate their slime pot and take it home to show off.
Full of laughs, creativity and sparkle
Choose from mix-ins like glitter, confetti or beads
Everyone gets a slime pot to take away
This party has the perfect mix of fun, creativity and independence.
Kids pick from a range of adorable animals, stuff them with care, and bring them to life with a special heart wish.
Then, they move on to decorating a T-shirt and naming their new buddy.
It’s hands-on and heartfelt—plus everyone gets to take their bear home for endless cuddles.
