Set up mini art stations where tiny hands can experiment with non-toxic finger paints and large sheets of paper. A rainbow-coloured cake, palette-shaped cookies, and colourful fruit punch can add to the artistic vibe.

Decorations can be as imaginative as you wish - hang oversized paint brushes and palettes, use paint cans as flower pots, and set up a gallery wall to display the day's creations.
