Step-by-Step Guide to Hosting a Zoobee Birthday Party at Home
Here’s how to plan and host a party your child will remember forever—one filled with color, creativity, and character-building fun!
1. Choose Your Birthday Art Project Character
Every child is different, and that’s why we offer a variety of five sweet, encouraging forest friends to create! Your birthday child gets to choose their favorite:
🎨 Zoobee the Bear – A generous, joyful bear who teaches kids that giving is the “secret sauce” to a good life. 🎨 Renzo the Raccoon – A playful and curious friend who’s always up for an adventure. 🎨 Hamilton the Hedgehog – A lovable newcomer who learns how to make friends in a new place. 🎨 Felix the Fox – Clever and creative, with a heart for helping others. 🎨 Opal the Owl – Wise, kind, bubbly and full of gentle encouragement.
Let your child pick the character they feel most connected to—this makes the party feel even more personal and meaningful.

Tips for setup and hosting
Each package includes an awesome art project to do at home that is both fun and frustration-free. No fancy supplies are required—just basic mixed media items like markers, glue, watercolor paper (140 lb.), scissors, and a joyful heart!
3. Set the Scene: Easy Party Setup Ideas
You don’t need to be Pinterest-perfect to create a fun and festive party space. Here are a few sweet and simple ideas to make your home feel like a forest-themed art party:
🌿 Decorate with forest flair – Hang green streamers, paper leaves, and balloons in natural colors. 🐻 Create character corners – Set up a “Zoobee Station” or a “Hamilton Headquarters” to match the art project. 🎂 Serve simple snacks – Trail mix, bear paw cookies, or hedgehog cupcakes add playful charm. 🎶 Play joyful music – Add some instrumental or upbeat kid-friendly tunes to set the mood.
Bonus tip: Invite guests to wear “forest explorer” gear—like animal ears or a forest explorer hat!
4. Gather Your Supplies
The birthday package includes a complete supply list, making it super easy to prep. You probably have many of the items already at home. A few things you might need include:
Markers and crayons
Scissors
Glue
Watercolor paper (140 lb. weight recommended)
Imagination and joy (definitely required!)
Having supplies organized and ready will help kids dive right into the project with excitement.
5. Hit Play and Create Together!
Now it’s time for the main event—gather the kids, hit play on the art class video, and let the creative fun begin! Your birthday child can sit front and center, and friends or siblings can join in from around the table.
Because the art classes are pre-recorded, you can pause or rewind anytime you need. The instructions are clear, gentle, and designed to help every child feel successful and proud of their finished artwork.
This is one of the best parts—watching kids beam with pride over something they made themselves!
6. Show Off the Masterpieces!
Once everyone finishes their art project, it’s time for a little art show! Have each child hold up their creation and share their favorite part. Take photos, cheer each other on, and celebrate every masterpiece.
You can even set up a little “gallery wall” with string and clothespins to display the art during the party.
