PTA Figurine Workshop Ideas for Schools

Host a Figurine Workshop at Your PTA Event

Looking for a memorable PTA event for graduation season? A figurine-making workshop combines drawing time with a digital experience that delights children and parents alike.

Why This Workshop Works

Analog Meets Digital

Drawing with crayons on paper is the analog experience; transforming the drawing into a figurine on figmee is the digital thrill. Combining both in one event is what makes this workshop special.

Everyone Can Participate

Artistic skill doesn't matter. Every drawing becomes an impressive figurine, so everyone participates on equal footing. The gasps of delight when figurines appear on screen are priceless.

A Take-Home Souvenir

Participants leave with a digital figurine — and can later 3D-print it into a physical keepsake.

How to Run the Workshop

Materials Needed

  • Drawing paper (A4)
  • Crayons, colored pencils, markers
  • Smartphones or tablets (for photographing and uploading)

Ideas to Make It Extra Fun

Figurine Contest

Create awards like "Funniest," "Most Realistic," and "Most Colorful" — making sure everyone wins something.

Before-and-After Vote

Display drawings alongside their figurines and vote for "Best Transformation." Unexpected results always get big laughs.

Parents Join In

When parents participate too, the energy doubles. "Mom's figurine vs. kid's figurine" showdowns make for hilarious comparisons.

Budget and Logistics

  • Cost: Only figmee usage fees (art supplies from school stock)
  • Staff: 1 facilitator + 2–3 helpers for photographing and uploading
  • Family contribution: A few dollars per household

Make Graduation Season Memorable

A PTA figurine workshop turns graduation into a celebration of creativity. Use figmee to plan a special day where every child's imagination shines.
