Craft Party invites viewers to join Shai-Ya and Mor, a pair of nine-year-old girls who live and breathe DIY. In each episode, the duo guides viewers on a step-by-step journey of how to create a themed party with DIY art and craft creations. Popular party themes include unicorns, robots, and slime, alongside timeless child favorites such as chocolate, balloons, stars, glitter, and ice cream. Superfans can then head to the Craft Party YouTube channel for more simple, fun and easy craft tutorials.
Craft Party was originally commissioned and broadcast on Nick Jr. Israel exclusively for Hot Cable Network.
