A make-and-create birthday in Livonia from The Friendship Factory of Dearborn, our featured local partner, where kids build, paint and design projects they are proud to take home.

The craft party is for children who like having their hands busy. Families travelling in from Livonia find a set of guided projects waiting, each one open enough that guests choose their own colors, textures and finishing touches. Between painting, building and decorating there is a station to suit most tastes.
Craft parties suit the children who would rather make something than run around, which is a different brief from a bouncy castle. Livonia families book them for mixed-age groups especially, because a guided project keeps a four-year-old and a ten-year-old equally busy at the same table.
Every craft party runs through a set of stations rather than one long activity, which is what keeps a mixed-age Livonia group moving. Children rotate between them, so nobody is stuck on a project that does not suit them, and each station produces something to carry out at the end.


Start with what your child actually enjoys making. Painting and canvas work suit the quieter groups, slime and sensory projects suit the ones who want mess, and build-and-take crafts work best when the ages are spread. Everything is supplied, so there is nothing to buy beforehand and nothing to wash afterwards.
Then the practical part. Eight to fourteen guests is the range where every child gets real help, invitations are best out two to three weeks ahead, and allergies should be flagged at booking since some materials can be swapped. Livonia families usually allow twenty minutes for the run down I-96.
Guests rotate through several projects such as canvas painting, clay, suncatchers and more, all guided by a host.
Yes. Everyone takes home the projects they create.
