• Birthday Party Entertainers

  

  Having a birthday party for kids? How are you planning on keeping them entertained? The last thing you want to hear kids say at a party is that they are bored. Even worse, when kids don’t have constructive activities, they tend to get in trouble.

  One way to keep partygoers entertained and make the party extra special is to hire an entertainer. Clowns are a popular choice for parties. Clowns add a bit of comedy to any event and may also perform a magic show, or make balloon animals. Magicians perform amazing feats and humorous tricks to entertain adults and children alike. Balloon artists make amazing creations out of balloons. Face Painters can paint the children’s faces like their favorite animals or characters to help bring the kid’s imaginations alive or paint simple creations and fake tattoos.

  There are many other entertainers that you could choose for an event including musicians, acrobats, caricature artists, and more. Does your child have a favorite character? Consider having a costumed performer come dressed up as that character.

  Having an entertainer makes keeping kids involved in their party much simpler. A good entertainer will make your party the event all of the kids talk about for years to come… and that is one way to make sure this birthday is a happy one for the guest of honor.

• Balloon Artists for Events

  

  Recently at a family goods consignment sale, a balloon artist made a teddy bear for my son. It took him a few tries as a couple balloons popped as he tried to make the complicated bends and turns, but the finished balloon sculpture was amazing. Frankly I am surprised that any of the balloons survive to make a sculpture with all of the twisting and bending they go though. I can’t even blow those thin balloons up, let along make animals out of them.

  Balloon sculpting reminds me of origami, but instead of folding paper, the person is folding a balloon which could pop at any moment. The concept is simple and you can find instructions for making basic balloon animals online , but to get really good at making the sculptures takes a lot of practice and a bit of luck.

  A balloon artist is definitely a skilled craftsman and many of them are talented entertainers as well. Kids love watching creatures take shape out of the balloons and the finished creations make great party favors. To add a little extra fun to a party, get a balloon artist who is dressed up in costume as a favorite character or a clown. Balloon artists are wonderful for birthday parties and all sorts of events, especially events with kids involved.

• Helium Balloons for Parties

  

  Looking for a fun, inexpensive way to add a lot of color to a room for a party? Decorate it with Helium filled balloons! Balloons provide festive decoration for all sorts of events, plus kids love to play with them, and they are cheap enough to send home as party favors. Just be sure to tie a ribbon and a weight to the end of the balloons so they don’t get away outside. Kids get pretty upset when they lose their balloon.

  Balloons come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can purchase bags of latex balloons in single colors, multi colors, with different images on them, or in various shapes at stores such as party stores and dollar stores. Mylar balloons can also be filled with helium. Most balloons are pretty inexpensive, but if you want the store to fill them with helium, the price can add up when you are getting a bunch. A more affordable option may be to rent a helium tank and fill the balloons yourself.

  A word of warning about helium tanks. The tanks are not toys. Never, ever inhale helium from the tanks. Doing so can have fatal consequences.

  Once you have filled the balloons with helium, tie ribbons or strings to the bottom. You can let the balloons float to the ceiling, tie weights to the base, or tape or tie them to walls and furniture.
