Paint Your Own Bearbrick-Style Bear in NYC & New Jersey

If you love designer art toys and have ever wanted to create your own, bear painting is for you. At Paint Me Bear, you paint your own bearbrick-style bear figurine with colorful drip and pour techniques — no art experience needed — and take home a one-of-a-kind piece for your shelf.

What Is Bear Painting?

Bear painting is a guided art experience where you decorate a collectible-style bear figurine. You choose your colors, pour and drip the paint, and watch it flow into unique patterns. No two bears ever come out the same, which is exactly what makes them so fun to collect.

How a Bear Painting Class Works

1. Pick your bear. Choose your figurine size when you book.
2. Choose your colors. Our art instructor helps you plan your design — bold and bright, pastel, neon or monochrome.
3. Pour and drip. Learn the techniques that create the signature dripping effect.
4. Let it dry. Bears need about three days to fully dry, then they are ready to pick up — or we can ship them to you.

Who Is It For?

Bear painting is popular with art toy fans and collectors, couples on a date night, friends, families with kids, and teams looking for a creative team building activity. It is also one of our favorite kids birthday party ideas.
