How long does a typical graffiti birthday party last?

Most of our birthday workshops in Tauranga run for about 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' where kids have enough time to learn the basics, practice their technique, and complete their final masterpiece without getting tired. We can adjust the timing slightly depending on your party schedule, but we find 120 minutes of spray-painting action is usually perfect for keeping the energy levels high and the creativity flowing right to the end!

Is spray painting safe for children?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including gloves and masks, for every participant. Our Tauranga artists are experienced pros who teach the kids the correct way to handle the cans from the start. We use low-pressure spray paint which is much easier for younger hands to control, ensuring a fun, supervised, and totally safe environment for everyone involved. Parents can sit back and relax while we handle the messy bits.

What is the ideal age for a graffiti workshop?

Our graffiti parties are generally best suited for kids aged 6 and up. At this age, they have the motor skills to press the spray nozzles and the focus to follow the artist's instructions. For teenagers, we ramp up the technical difficulty to keep them challenged and engaged. If you have a group with mixed ages, don't worry—our artists are great at tailoring their teaching style so that every child, regardless of age, feels like a pro.

Where in Tauranga do the workshops take place?

We are super flexible! We can host the party at a cool outdoor spot in Tauranga, or we can come to your backyard if you have enough space and ventilation. If the Bay of Plenty weather decides not to play ball, we also have access to various indoor partner locations that are permit-ready for spray painting. Just let us know your preference, and we will make the logistics work smoothly for your big day.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our local Tauranga artists start with the very basics—how to hold the can, how to control the distance, and how to create simple shapes. We guide the kids step-by-step through the process. By the time they start on their final canvas, they’ll have the confidence and skills to create something they are truly proud of. It’s all about having a go and having fun!

What do the kids get to take home after the party?

The best part is that every child gets to take their own custom-made canvas home! It’s the ultimate party favour—a unique piece of street art they created themselves. We also make sure the birthday boy or girl gets a special shout-out and perhaps a little extra flair on their piece. Since we use quick-drying paint, the artworks are usually ready to be carefully transported home by the time the party wraps up.

What happens if the artist can't make it?

We’ve got you covered. One of the reasons families in the Bay choose Graffitifun is our reliability. We have a backup artist system in place, meaning if your scheduled artist has an emergency, we have another professional ready to step in. Your party is too important to cancel, so we ensure the show goes on regardless. We also provide all the gear, so you don't have to worry about a thing except the cake!

How far in advance should I book the party?

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekend slots which are popular in Tauranga. Usually, 3 to 4 weeks in advance is plenty of time to secure your preferred date and artist. However, if you’ve had a last-minute stroke of genius and want to book a party for next week, give us a shout! We’ll do our absolute best to squeeze you in and make the birthday magic happen.

Local culture

Tauranga is quickly becoming a hub for creative expression in New Zealand. With the stunning backdrop of Mauao and the vibrant street art scene emerging in the CBD and around the Street Prints Mauao festival, there’s no better place to inspire the next generation of artists. We love tapping into the laid-back, sun-soaked energy of the Bay to fuel our workshops.

Fun Fact: Did you know Tauranga is home to dozens of world-class murals hidden in plain sight? Our artists often incorporate these local styles into their teaching, giving the kids a true taste of the local urban culture. Whether we're setting up near the seaside or in a leafy suburban garden, the Tauranga spirit is always part of the art! 🌊🎨
