Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during school holidays?

Absolutely! Safety is our top priority in Nairobi. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every student. Our professional artists are trained to supervise groups closely, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large workshops to ensure a safe, airy environment where kids can focus entirely on having fun and being creative.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our school holiday workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to those who love to doodle. Our Nairobi street artists guide the group through the basics, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to complex letters and characters. Most kids are amazed at what they can produce in just a couple of hours with the right techniques and a bit of expert encouragement.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend that participants wear comfortable clothing and old shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective gear including overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! It’s all part of the fun of being an artist. Dressing for a bit of a 'creative mess' ensures the kids can dive into their work without worry.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our school holiday sessions in Nairobi typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the children enough time to learn the theory, practice their 'tagging' and 'piece' techniques, and finally complete their own individual or group masterpiece. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired from the physical activity of spraying.

What materials are included in the price?

Everything is included! When you book a Graffitifun session, we provide all the professional spray cans, a wide variety of caps (nozzles), protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We also bring along sketches and inspiration boards to help the kids get started. There are no hidden costs—just bring your energy and a desire to learn some cool new skills!

Do parents need to stay for the duration of the workshop?

Parental supervision requirements depend on the age of the children and the size of the group. Generally, for school holiday workshops, parents are welcome to stay and watch the magic happen, or they can drop the kids off and enjoy a few hours of quiet time! We always have a minimum of two professional artists/facilitators on-site to ensure full supervision and guidance throughout the entire creative process.

The experience

Why choose Graffitifun for your next school break in Nairobi? Because we don't just teach art—we create memories! Here is why our workshops are the talk of the town:

Real artists, real skills: Kids learn directly from professional graffiti artists active in the Nairobi scene. 🎤
Zero stress booking: No upfront payment required—you only pay after the workshop is finished! 💪
The ultimate confidence booster: Seeing a giant mural finished by their own hands gives kids a massive sense of achievement. 🏆
Total reliability: With our backup artist system, your holiday plans are never at risk of cancellation. 🛡️
Safe and legal: We teach the difference between vandalism and street art, focusing on creative expression in designated areas. ✨

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick chat about how to use the equipment safely while protecting our environment.
History and culture: A brief, fun look at how graffiti started and how it evolved into the incredible street art seen across Nairobi today.
First lines and techniques: Kids grab their first cans and learn the basic 'language' of spray paint—how to control pressure, distance, and speed.
Design and sketching: Participants brainstorm their ideas and sketch their designs on paper, getting feedback from our pro artists.
The 'Outline' phase: Transitioning from paper to the wall or canvas, students learn how to scale up their sketches into large-format outlines.
Fill-ins and blending: This is where the magic happens! We teach the kids how to blend colours and fill their pieces with vibrant, popping shades.
Adding the 'Pop': We show the group how to add highlights, lowlights, and 'second outlines' to make their artwork truly stand out from the surface.
The grand reveal: A final walkthrough where everyone presents their work, gets a round of applause, and takes plenty of photos for the 'Gram!

Local culture

Nairobi is a city bursting with rhythm and colour, and the street art scene here is nothing short of world-class! From the iconic, hand-painted 'Matatu' culture—which is basically a moving art gallery on every street—to the massive murals in the CBD and Kibera, street art is baked into the city's DNA. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, teaching kids how to contribute to the urban aesthetic in a positive, legal way.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Nairobi's 'Matatu' (public minibus) art is so famous that even international celebrities have come to the city just to see these 'graffiti galleries on wheels'? It’s a unique part of our local heritage that inspires every session we run! 🇰🇪✨
