Paint With Kidcreate Studio - Dana Point

Designed with children in mind, our painting classes are fun and engaging. The creative elements we explore teach children valuable skills. Children will learn about color, line, shapes, and art theory. We keep things interesting with theme-based projects. From sparkly unicorns to stormy landscapes, your child will have a blast expressing their creativity. Our guided lessons provide stimulating, imaginative fun.

We break classes up by age group, tailoring projects to the developmental needs of each child. Toddlers explore the bright colors and fun texture of paint with their bare hands. Older children will learn how to hold brushes, how to manipulate paint, and how to explore art concepts. There is always something to learn at Kidcreate!

When you drop your child off at the Kidcreate Studio, we provide the fun and clean up the mess! Painting classes are a great way for your child to express their creativity without you having to worry about stains on the carpet. Our trained art teachers are experts at fun, creativity, and learning. Every child takes home their masterpiece after class, so you’ll have some beautiful artwork to hang on the fridge.

Painting Classes for Kids in Dana Point - Kidcreate Studio - Dana Point

Painting Classes for Kids in Dana Point

Has your child expressed an interest in painting? Kidcreate offers painting classes for kids in Dana Point. Our enthusiastic teachers are waiting to share the wonders of painting with your child!

As a unique art form, painting offers many benefits for children.

Painting is an art form that encourages creative expression and imaginative thinking. The benefits of arts for children are numerous, and painting is no exception. Studies show that early art education places children at an advantage for academics and future successes.

Memory development is a key learning skill for young children. Creative outlets encourage critical thinking, which improves memory skills. Painting, in particular, sharpens the memory as it requires conceptualization. As children visualize what they want to create, they implement memory skills when putting paint on canvas!


Art is often associated with imaginative thinking. The complexities of creating a composition require critical thinking as well. Mixing colors, building shapes, and bringing the imagination to life on canvas is a process that teaches children to think outside of the box. These skills translate to academic success as they are an important part of math, science, and other subjects.

Gripping and controlling a paintbrush takes dexterity. Learning how to paint helps young children develop both coordination and motor skills. This exploration starts with hands and fingers for younger children and progresses to paintbrushes, pencils and other tools. Mixing mediums is a great way for children to explore the textures and sensations of art.

Children need constructive outlets for their feelings to develop emotional maturity. Temper-tantrums are simply a child’s way of saying, “I need help handling my emotions.” Giving them the tools to do so from an early age prevents meltdowns and promotes emotional intelligence. Painting is a great outlet for children’s thoughts, fears, wishes, and hopes. Many children tell stories through their paintings. Color, line, and imagination come together in a creative outlet.

From coordination to memory, a lot is going on in a child’s brain when they are painting. Creative activities encourage neural connections, enhances cognition, and produce mental stimulation!

Perfect birthday party! All we had to do was show up :) Kids were entertained the whole time, made the cutest project and adults got to catch up. Highly recommend for birthday parties!
— Candice White, Posted February 23rd 2025 on google
This was by far the best decision we made for hosting my daughter’s birthday. Everything ran smoothly and it was so nice to have time to mingle with parents instead of doing everything myself. I can’t recommend having a party here enough. Worth every penny, even when they’re tight!

My daughter had her birthday party here and loved it! I was most impressed by the staff who was extremely helpful and kind! I was a little worried since we only had 15 minutes for the setup but they already had some balloons and a cute birthday sign setup. They also helped me to setup and take down all of my decoratio...

Kidcreate Studio did a mobile party at my house for my daughter's 7th birthday. We had a big group of 15 kids and the two teachers from KidCreate did a wonderful job. The owner delivered tables and chairs that we rented from them before our party started and picked them up after the party was over. They are fantastic a...

Our 9-year old daughter really wanted to do something art and crafty for her birthday, and we weren't quite happy with other OC south county art-related businesses. From the moment we started communicating with Kidcreate the communication was great. On the day of the event the staff was very aware of our needs, accom...

A+ The nicest owner and teachers! Highly recommend for birthday parties!
— K L, Posted June 28th 2021 on google
Kidcreate has become our favourite place over the last 12 months and I couldn’t recommend it enough! We stumbled upon Kidcreate before it opened (pre COVID) and signed up our daughter for a trial for their opening. The pandemic hit and Kristen (the owner) and her team have been incredible to ensure each little artist...

Great art class for kids. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and always very clean. My kids loved all the art projects we did, and so nice when the mess isn’t at your house! Would definitely recommend this place!
— Alexandra Petrangelo, Posted May 21st 2021 on google
Kristin and her team of creators are awesome! They were able to accommodate a very last minute decision for a private party, and they delivered a great experience! Facilities were clean and covid compliant. Cant wait to check out more of their fun classes they have for the kiddos!
— Candace Pattillo, Posted February 24th 2021 on google
My kids and I absolutely love this Art Studio! They beg me to go back every week! I love all the themes they come up and the multiple was to create art based on that theme. My kids so far have painted, sculpted, colored, glued, cut and made some fun foam! The owner and all the other art teachers there are so friendly, ...
— Tina, Posted October 11th 2020 on google
Have gone to the Kid Create Dana Point studio a few times and have loved it. My 2 yo son loves making art and the stories that go along with it. Well paced and easy enough for him to follow along. Hoping they open a studio in San Diego too!
— Stacey Sills, Posted August 17th 2020 on google
My daughter LOVES this studio. She just finished a week at slime camp and last night we did a parent and me class. SO FUN! She is learning in a clean and fun environment. So thankful for this studio. She asks to go everyday. 🥰 I HIGHLY recommend!
