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.

Return gifts should feel thoughtful, not disposable. Paint-your-own kits give each child a small studio moment and a keepsake — stronger than another generic toy in a plastic bag.

What hosts should plan

Guest count, age mix (4–9 is our sweet spot for painting), table space, aprons, and 45–60 minutes for paint + drying. For larger parties, ask about bulk packs before you buy retail.
