BIRTHDAY AGE:
Curious about parties for kids under the age of 6, or what the differences are between the party age types? Keep in mind that Colors is not like a typical party place where the birthday person is the center of attention. It’s truly a unique experience.
Colors parties are designed as family-centered celebrations in honor of the birthday person. So it’s a celebration of their life. So just like a good wedding DJ does not play for just the bride and groom, but for all the honored guests, likewise, Colors parties are designed to entertain everyone. For this reason, it is not uncommon for us to have 30 adults and 6 kids for a birthday. It really is like a wedding reception designed around a birthday.
It's a real party.
Your next step is to click on the age of the birthday person(above). If the birthday person is under 6, then select the 6 to
12 range, as it is the closest option. Activities at 6-12 parties can greatly vary from the teen parties, but again this will all depend on the guests present. Just keep in mind that many of the games for
6-12 year olds, younger kids may not understand, such as the competitive group contests.
Then there is also the maturity aspect: At the end of musical chairs for example, while a room full of 6 year olds are happy, a room full of 4 year olds could have a room full of crying kids and one happy one.
But while Colors is not designed for kids under the age of 6, they certainly do have fun. Our Facebook page has thousands of photos from parties for kids under the age of 6. So while we don’t recommend it in all cases, since all Colors parties are totally private, you certainly can have one. We’ve had newborn parties, 1 and 2 year old parties, and on the other side, many 90’s.

So if you’re considering having a party for a child under the age of 6, start by clicking the
6-12 button to read what it entails, and then later talk with your party scheduler about it. They will give you all the pros and cons for your unique situation. And again, see the thousands of photos on the Facebook page of those younger parties as well, as a picture really is worth a thousand words.
In summary regarding parties for kids under the age of 6 I’ll end with this. Kids over the age of 6 sleep well the night after a Colors party, but for kids under the age of 6, it is
often the parents who are exhausted running after the little ones making sure they are safe, helping them with video games, and following them around so they don’t fall off the 12” stage. More on this subject(safety) is found on the page that loads when you select the
ages 6-12 button below.
SELECT BIRTHDAY AGE:
We’ve all heard people say, “We should get together
more often, we only seem to get together at weddings
and funerals”. That’s the spark that started the idea
for Colors back in 1994.
Decades ago kids had parties at home and a few friends
came over. Nowadays parents drop kids off at party
places, and don’t even stay. We wanted to design a
family-centered party center where family members, & the
parents could enjoy the celebration of a Birthday just
as much as the kids, if not more. The entire purpose of
Colors from the beginning was to make an all-inclusive
party center that handled everything so that that the
parents could sit back and relax and enjoy the
celebration. While our parties are planned to encourage
parents and adults to participate, it is not required.
Some parties have a majority of kids attending, while
others have a majority of adults in attendance. And
while some parties have adults dancing and participating
with the kids non-stop, other parties have just the kids
on the floor. Every family is unique. Colors is
designed to facilitate conversations between parents and
family members by having everything in one room. This
way once a parent sits down, they can always see
everything, their child is never out of their sight,
they do not have to get up to follow them. This allows
for longer and more meaningful conversations between
family members.
We also take constant photos of everything going on at
the party and keep these photos displaying on the screens
throughout the party room for all to enjoy & later share.
Then these photos are posted to our Facebook page before
the party ends, so that those who dropped their kids off
can see what they missed, and hopefully decide next time
to come in and stay for the celebration.
Our price structure is a flat rate so that all family members
can be invited. Our hope is that most Colors parties don’t
just invite individual kids, but entire families.
If we charged a per-person fee, we know that certain
people wouldn’t get invited. And again, the purpose of
Colors existence is to support family interactions and
to facilitate deep meaningful relationships. It’s all
about people. This is also why we do NOT offer online
scheduling, we want personal relationships with our
customers. Again, it’s all about people.
Our staff and volunteers at Colors all have it as their
mission to help families celebrate. No one works or
volunteers at Colors because they cannot find something
better to do, it’s like their mission. When people come
to us asking for a job, not being familiar with our
program, the answer is always no. To work at Colors,
whether paid or volunteer, staff members must be
committed to making a difference in the world, through
our little way of bringing people together. Our staff
specifically wants to work with families and kids. We
have 4 volunteers who have been with us over 25 years,
and 5 who have been here over 10. We're very blessed.
