Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical kids graffiti party last?
Most kids birthday workshops in Addis Ababa last approximately 2 hours. This includes the introduction, safety briefing, practice time, and the creation of their final masterpiece. We find this is the perfect 'sweet spot' to keep energy levels high and focus sharp without the younger artists getting tired. We can adjust the timing slightly based on your party schedule and the age of the children.
Is the graffiti workshop safe for children?
We prioritize safety above everything else. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every child to keep their clothes clean and their lungs safe. Our professional artists supervise the group at all times, teaching proper spray can techniques. We use low-pressure cans that are easier for smaller hands to control, ensuring a fun and secure environment for everyone involved in Addis Ababa.
What happens if it rains on the day of the party?
Absolutely! While we have amazing outdoor spots in Addis, we also have access to indoor spaces or can set up mobile plastic sheeting if you have a suitable private venue. We always check the weather forecast in advance for our Ethiopian events. If rain is expected, we have backup plans and indoor locations ready so the birthday celebration never has to be cancelled.
What should the children wear to the workshop?
We recommend that children wear comfortable, old clothing and closed-toe shoes. Even though we provide full protective gear like overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and it's best to wear items you don't mind getting a tiny splash of color on. This allows the kids to fully immerse themselves in the creative process without worrying about their best Sunday clothes.
Is there a minimum age for the participants?
While we usually suggest a minimum age of 6 or 7 to ensure they have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles, we can accommodate younger siblings with a bit of help. Our instructors are great at adapting their teaching style for different age groups, making sure even the littlest guests feel like real street artists. It’s a fantastic way to develop fine motor skills!
Do the kids need to be good at drawing to enjoy this?
No prior talent or art experience is needed at all! Our workshops are designed to take kids from total beginners to proud creators. Our Addis Ababa artists guide them through easy-to-follow steps, from drawing basic shapes to layering colors. The goal is to have fun, express their unique personality, and go home with something they are genuinely proud of making.
Can the children work on a shared project together?
Yes, we love it when the group works together! While every child gets to work on their own individual pieces, we often include a large 'birthday mural' where the whole group contributes to a single giant artwork for the birthday boy or girl. This promotes teamwork and creates a massive, colorful memory of the day that looks amazing in photos.
