Why Parents Love Mini Makers
As a working mother of two, Anna created Mini Makers to solve the party favor dilemma: providing meaningful, creative activities that kids genuinely cherish.
Traditional Party Favors
Clutter, sugar, and waste
- ✕Cheap Plastic Trinkets: Flimsy favors that break within hours and end up straight in the landfill.
- ✕Sugar Overload: Bags full of candy and artificial dyes that leave parents dealing with post-party sugar crashes.
- ✕Passive Screen Time: Electronics and video games replacing tactile sensory play and imagination.
- ✕Expensive Craft Store Hassle: Buying 20 pack jars of paints and bulk supplies you’ll never use again.
The Mini Makers Way
Artisanal, tactile, and unforgettable
- ✓Hand-Cast 3D Plaster Keepsakes: Sculpted, tactile figurines that kids paint and proudly display on their bedroom shelves for years.
- ✓100% Non-Toxic & Washable: Child-safe paints that clean easily off hands and tables with warm soapy water.
- ✓Everything in One Bag: Figurines, paint pots, fine brushes, and activity cards pre-assembled in festive packaging.
- ✓Incredible Value ($2.00 - $3.00 Favors): Real handmade craft activity for less than the cost of a bag of cheap plastic trinkets!

The Plaster Craft Difference
Every figure is hand-cast with high-density, smooth plaster that provides the ideal porous surface for acrylic paints to adhere vividly without streaking.
Smooth 3D Sculpted Plaster Figures
Hand-cast in Valley City, OH using dense, ultra-smooth artisan plaster. Each figure features dimensional grooves that make painting easy for little fingers!
Vibrant Opaque Finish Every Time
Watch raw white plaster transform into vibrant bedroom keepsakes. Our non-toxic acrylic paints absorb instantly and dry smudge-free before party time is over!
Sculpted 3D Relief Details
Unlike flat laser wood cutouts, our hand-cast plaster figures have raised ribs, dimensional curves, and textured details that guide brushstrokes naturally.
Vibrant Paint Absorption
The high-grade plaster absorbs pigment quickly, meaning bright opaque colors and fast drying times so kids can take their masterpieces home without smudging!
Keepsake Bedroom Decor
Once dried, these solid figurines make cherished paperweights, dresser decorations, or desk trophies that remind kids of your special celebration.
Explore Our 16 Signature Themes
Every set features smooth, hand-cast 3D plaster figures packed with rich, non-toxic washable paints. Or request a 100% custom theme tailored to your child's special day!

Handcrafting & fulfilling every single kit together
"Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce myself!"
My name is Adrianna—but I usually go by Anna for short! I am a working momma of 2 living right here in Valley City, OH.
I have put together this small business named Mini Makers selling custom handmade and designed craft paint kits that are made to order. My teenage daughter has also taken a large interest in helping run and fulfill many creative aspects of this venture as well, and I love having her involved to learn a few things about business!
I myself have sought out party favors and activities for my kiddo over the years that didn't involve electronics, expensive small plastic tchotchkes, or sugar. So when I came across this idea, I knew I'd love to take a spin at it!
These craft kits are perfect for craft nights with your kids, birthday party favors, classroom holiday parties, baby showers, youth groups, wellness/therapy, or gifts for creatives in your life!
