Let your kids dive into a world of creativity at The Splatter Studio in Santa Monica. The Junior Experiences are 45-minute, instructor-led sessions built for 6–12 year-olds that trade careful brushwork for exuberant splashes, fluid pours, and wildly abstract canvases—every session comes with materials and protective gear so kids can make a mess without the worry.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE EXPERIENCE

Pure, Unstructured Creative Play

Forty-five minutes of guided chaos: brushes, squeeze bottles and splatter tools let kids push paint across an 11x14 canvas, encouraging bold, abstract results and sensory play.

THE TAKEAWAYS

One or Two Finished Pieces to Bring Home

Sessions include at least one 11x14 canvas to keep; the Junior Fluid Bear & Splatter option adds a mini bear statue painted with fluid pours so participants leave with two original artworks.

THE SETUP

Materials and Protective Gear Provided

All materials are supplied and the studio outfits kids with ponchos, shoe covers, gloves and goggles so they can splatter safely and freely.

What the day feels like

What a Junior Experience Feels Like

The session moves quickly: check-in, don protective gear, then dive into paint—either with a full splatter toolkit on canvas or a two-part pour-and-splatter flow for the Fluid Bear option—finishing with tidy cleanup and time to admire (and pack) the finished work.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this workshop suits—and who should plan something else.

1
Active FamiliesPerfect for families with kids who like hands‑on, high‑energy art; sessions require an accompanying adult and are designed for quick, joyful creativity.
2
Young Creatives (6–8)A great first studio experience—short, supervised and fully equipped—ideal for younger children within the 6–12 age range.
3
Older Kids (9–12)Older children can take more deliberate risks with tools and color; the Fluid Bear option gives slightly more complexity and an extra takeaway.
4
Accompanying AdultsAdults must accompany children; supervising adults can participate by adding an extra canvas for a side‑by‑side session for an additional fee.
