Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Perth has become even more magical for families, thanks to a colourful new collaboration with Kidstuff, one of Australia’s most trusted toy brands. Together they’ve created ‘Ritz Kids: Life in Colours’ – a gorgeous, complimentary art experience designed especially for the hotel’s youngest guests, adding an extra layer of fun and creativity to a city staycation.
Launching this month, Ritz Kids: Life in Colours is a playful still-life drawing session where children are invited to bring two very special characters to life on paper: Leo the Lion, the Ritz Kids mascot, and his Australian friend Quentin the Quokka, courtesy of Kidstuff. Using Kidstuff’s quality toys and craft sets, kids are gently guided by one of the ladies or gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton as they learn to sketch, colour and add their own imaginative flair to these loveable mascots.
The activity is held in the elegant yet relaxed Hearth Lounge, which is transformed into a welcoming creative corner for families. Everything is provided for you – from the art materials to the character models – so there’s no need to pack anything extra. Children can immerse themselves in the experience and feel thoroughly looked after, while parents take the rare opportunity to sit back, relax and soak up the hotel’s beautiful surroundings.
At the end of the session, each child takes home their very own artwork as a personalised memento of their Ritz-Carlton stay. They’ll also receive photos with their creations, giving families a sweet keepsake to remember the experience long after checkout. It’s a lovely way to capture the excitement of a city break and the pride little artists feel in their handiwork.
The partnership goes beyond playtime, too. Kidstuff x Ritz Kids Quentin the Quokka plush toys are available to purchase directly from the hotel. Not only can children choose to cuddle Quentin during their stay or take him home as a reminder of their Perth adventure, but each purchase also gives back to the community. For every Quentin the Quokka sold, $5 is donated to Operation Sunshine WA, a volunteer-run charity supporting women and children displaced by family and domestic violence or in the care of child protection services in Western Australia. It’s a meaningful way for families to support a local cause while treating their kids to a new friend.
Ritz Kids at The Ritz-Carlton, Perth also includes a personalised check-in experience right from the moment you arrive. Children receive an Adventurer Passport at the hotel lobby, helping them feel like true VIP guests and setting the tone for a stay that’s every bit as special for them as it is for the adults.
With thoughtful touches, creative activities and a heart for giving back, Ritz Kids: Life in Colours makes The Ritz-Carlton, Perth an even more appealing choice for families looking for a luxurious yet family-friendly city escape.
