Luna de Papel - Jersey City, New Jersey

Luna de Papel is an amazing small POC woman owned business that I was so fortunate to find on a list of local JC businesses that also host private parties. After a very successful experience doing it all myself for my daughter’s 1st birthday I was determined to find a venue this year that would lessen the load for me. Ruth and her team did an amazing job not only decorating the spaces but curating an itinerary that kept everyone happy and entertained. The kids had so much fun with their art project and we all parents included had a blast jamming out and dancing to some fun tunes during our little dance party with all the lights bells and whistles that just made it extra special. I’m so happy that I chose to have our daughter’s 2nd birthday here. I might be back next year who knows. But I will be recommending this wonderful family owned business to all my friends and family and strangers I come across needing a space to host their children’s celebrations. You will not be disappointed if you choose to host your event with Luna de Papel!

I recently celebrated my daughter’s fifth birthday at Luna de Papel, and it was a fantastic experience! Although this studio is nearly an hour’s drive from my home, it was absolutely worth it. I had been searching for a colorful, engaging, and unique setting for kids—something different from the typical jumping places in my area—and Luna de Papel was exactly what I was looking for. Ruth was exceptionally helpful, warm, and accommodating, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt welcome. She even decorated the cake table, and it was beautifully done, adding a special touch to the celebration.

Ruth also recommended some nearby options for food, including Mordi’s for sandwiches and chicken for the kids. The sandwiches were honestly the best we’ve ever had! The team at Mordi’s was so kind and helpful; they even helped me figure out the right amount of food for our group, which made everything easier. The activities Ruth planned were perfect, and the girls assisting her were sweet and attentive with my daughter and her friends. The kids had a wonderful time, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Luna de Papel for anyone looking for a memorable, creative, and fun experience.

My toddler and I have been attending the "Toddler & I" class, and it’s quickly become one of our favorite weekly activities! The class is thoughtfully structured, with a perfect balance of playtime, process-oriented art, and music, all within an hour. Each session begins with free play, allowing the kids to warm up and explore, followed by hands-on art activities that encourage creativity and self-expression. I love that the focus isn’t on the final product but on the process, which is so important for young children.

The activities are developmentally appropriate and foster more than just artistic skills – they truly support whole child development. My toddler is not only improving their motor skills but also learning socialization, problem-solving, and language through the added Spanish story time and music at the end of each session. It’s a fun, engaging way to support both physical and cognitive growth.

What I appreciate most is how the class creates a welcoming space for caregivers to actively participate. It feels like a shared adventure, full of joy and connection. If you’re looking for a class that supports creative exploration and whole child development while offering quality bonding time, "Toddler & I" is a fantastic choice!

Ok, I love this woman owned after school/day camp/summer camp! Luna de Papel is the place I want to go every day! Ruth is amazing! She’s very knowledgeable about all things craft. If you have a crafty child, they will love it! The program is broken up by different crafts per week: painting, knitting/crochet, weaving/felting, and 1 more that I cannot recall. And, There’s a reading area with great books to keep them occupied in another way (other than crafting) for end of day wind down. There are so many great things to say about Ruth & her camp especially it’s so clean & organized! Ruth is open, friendly, and so is her staff.

I CANNOT say enough about the wonderful experience we had at Luna de Papel and with Ruth and her whole team for my son's 1st birthday party!! They took care of everything, from the theme decorations to the games for the kids, to the fun and atmosphere! The space was spectacular and so cozy and beautiful--and they were beyond creative and friendly, excellent hostesses! I would recommend them a thousand times over and can't wait to have our next party there!
