Do you have a child who loves to paint, draw, etc? Perhaps this child is a budding artist with true talent, or maybe they are just a preschooler who always wants to smear paint all over the paper.
Have you ever dreamed of being an artist? Maybe you’re already pretty good. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re like me and realize that even your stick figures are pretty terrible! Whatever your or your child’s level may be, you could be an artist and create a beautiful canvas at Roey’s Paintbox Parties.I had never heard of Roey’s prior to my visit, but I can easily say that I will be telling all of my friends, family members, and anyone who will listen to check this place out! I also can safely say that I will be going back there, both with my kids and without them sometime! When I went recently, I was there with a mom’s club, so the focus was on the kids. My daughter loves to paint and draw, and my son loves to get messy while pretending to paint or draw! Needless to say, they both loved going to Roey’s Paintbox Parties, and they both came home with incredible paintings that we will all cherish!
Roey’s is located conveniently on Main Street in downtown Bethlehem. It is just down from Hotel Bethlehem. Upon arrival, I immediately was taken aback by the beautiful paintings on all of the walls, the doors, and even the steps. I think my creative juices started flowing just by entering the unique and gorgeous rooms there. When everyone had arrived, the kids were given smocks to wear and were instructed to sit in front of a blank canvas to get ready to paint. Roey gave each child the paint they needed for the first step, and then she explained and demonstrated what the kids should do first. And they were off! With Roey’s clear instructions, the kids were easily able to paint beautiful cherry blossom trees! Although they were given step-by-step instructions so that their paintings really looked like cherry blossom trees, there was also room for creativity. Each child’s painting still had its own unique flair! 
Approximately half way through the paintings, the kids took a break to allow the paint to partially dry. While the paint was drying, Roey read the children a few books with beautiful painted illustrations. The kids were captivated by Roey’s enthusiasm and energy while reading. She was really great with the kids! When the stories were finished, the kids returned to their canvasses to complete their masterpiece. My daughter did her painting completely by herself, while I helped my son a little bit. In the end, I brought home two happy children and two amazing canvas paintings that are now hanging in my living room! (Yes, they are actually THAT good thanks to Roey!)Roey’s isn’t just for kids either! There are open paint sessions every weekend, and often there are BYOB paint parties throughout the week and on weekends. All sessions can be reserved through Roey’s Paintbox Parties website, but walk-ins are welcome as well! There is a theme each week, and you can choose to paint the specified theme or create your own painting. These programs range in price from $5 to $40, and it’s worth every penny! You’d easily spend $40 on some mass-produced canvas “painting” at a department store, but you can create your own (along with the memories) at Roey’s for that much or less! Plus, imagine the laughs and the joy you could have by painting with a bunch of your friends, or doing something unique on date night instead of the same old dinner and a movie! Show that special someone your hidden talent instead!
As I mentioned, I attended a preschool program with a mom’s club. Roey’s does lots of private parties for all different age ranges, but the preschool one was great! Even if you just want to get a bunch of moms together and reserve a private party for the kids, it would be a blast! And the preschool parties (you’re never going to believe this) are just $5 per child!!! That includes the painting experience, the story time, and taking home a canvas masterpiece! Now that’s a deal! And just imagine your child’s face when he or she sees the canvas they painted displayed prominently in your home!What are you waiting for?! Check out Roey’s Paintbox Parties and show off your creative side!!
I just had to add that I have received a lot of compliments on the canvases that are in my family room. People think they are really good, and they love that they were made by my kids. I do too, of course!
