4 years and up. Younger children will enjoy it with a grown-up alongside.

Are the paints safe for kids?

We use water colours chosen for kids' craft time — non-toxic and easy to rinse. As with any art materials, we recommend painting with adult supervision and covering clothes and surfaces.

When do kits launch, and how much are they?

We're launching as early as possible. Join the launch list below and you'll hear first.

How do you use my child's photo on the Artists Wall?

Only with a parent's OK. We show the painting, a first name and age — never faces or surnames — and remove it any time you ask.

Can I order for a birthday party or as gifts?

Party packs available. Message us on Instagram (@diywithira) or WhatsApp (+91 77688 61010) and we'll help.

When Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, or Delhi skies open up, « go play outside » is off the table. These rainy-day activities keep energy positive without defaulting to cartoons.

Ten ideas under one roof

Indoor treasure hunt with written clues, blanket fort + flashlight stories, kitchen helper hour (washing veggies, mixing), sticker murals, dance freeze game, simple science (sink or float bowl), board games, journaling, audio stories, and a dedicated craft slot with paint or printables.

When you want a calmer table activity

Set up painting or colouring at the dining table. IRA Creations free sheets (iracreations.co.in/#sheets) and Under the Sea kits (iracreations.co.in/#kit) are built for exactly this — screen-free, finished art you can display.
