Bicycle Powered Spin art
Who doesn’t love spin art? Our bicycle-powered spin art station is a hit with kids and adults alike. We do the pedaling while you create your colorful masterpiece. A few pedal strokes spin the platter, flinging paint into dazzling spirals, circles and streaks.
Spin Art is surprisingly addictive and adds color and energy to any event. Kids gather around, watching in awe as paint splatters across the paper to create vibrant, one-of-a-kind designs. Because it takes little power to spin the paper, it’s perfect for pedal power with kids, even the youngest riders.
It’s a fun way to bring art, activity and creativity together on two wheels.
