Unique, interactive, kids birthday party entertainment.

Favourite hobby presented as party entertainment - Hobby Ideas style.

If kiddy birthday party brainstorming = stress then a good place to head to is Hobby Ideas – India’s first craft and hobby store. They have party supplies, options for giveaways, themes and even an in house birthday party consultant.

My chat with Rita the consultant at the head office revealed a gem of an idea. They offer a one hour workshop that can be conducted during the party for kids aged 3+. The type of project can be based on what your child fancies and you need to head to a store to view the entire range and choose a favourite.

Some of the interesting projects are photo frame making, decoupage, fabric painting, puppet making, bead craft, moulding and painting, paper craft, origami, canvas painting and scrap book making.

Ideally you should fix the workshop 2 weeks before the party date. Hobby Ideas provides all the materials required for the workshop and one teacher attends to 10 kids. You will need to supply water for painting, newspaper and other odds and ends. Clarify all these nitty, gritty details when you place your order so you don’t have to run around at the last minute. These fun hobby workshops can be conducted in store as well.
