Choose from these most popular activities for your party or event.

Face Painting
People of all ages love to be painted. My fantasy full faces are gorgeous, quick and with a touch of glitter, inspire awe, wonder and bring out the best in anyone. View Face Painting. For 2 year olds and up.

Balloon Sculptures
Prepare to be amazed at what can be created with balloons: animals, flowers, planes, dinosaurs, princesses and life size people. Guest love to watch the structures come together and then have something to keep. View Balloon Sculptures. For 3 year olds and up.

Magic
Everyone helps to make the magic happen by yelling out the magic words - even the adults are entertained. Some tricks allow the guest of honor to help the magician make magic. Duration is about 20 minutes, longer times are available upon request. Read FAQ/Tips for magic setup. Fun for most 3 year olds, 4 year olds and up.

Sing-a-longs
Children of all ages love songs, especially the little ones. It's beautiful to see the glee and laughter as they bounce happily along, engaged with hand motions, and singing proudly. For toddlers and small children.

Storytelling
Engaging a child's imagination is easily achieved through stories. Children love to help the storyteller by interacting with their words, hand motions and sound effects. It's wonderful to see the suspense in the children's eyes when they anticipate the next turn. For 3 year olds and up

Parachute Play
An instant hit with kids, the bright colors draw them into the fun. And there is tons of fun to have with all the different games that can be played! For toddlers and children.

The Play
Your child is the star of the show and their friends are characters in a narrated adventure that takes them to palaces, forests and streams. They encounter pirates and ogres in order to find a cherished possession of the birthday child. Of course, it all ends happily ever after. This is the one time, when you really do want them to "act out". Fun for all to watch and enjoy.

Musical Instruments
Who can resist hands on learning with these miniature instruments: maracas, tambourines, and jingling bells. Add them to taped music for a wonderful interactive experience. Older children will love Musicality - songs with catchy, upbeat melodies identifying parts of the body. For small children.

Bring your childs favorite character to life with the next several party options.

Dora Adventure
"Cora the Curious" leads the children on an interactive adventure - just like the popular TV show - complete with character voices and songs. We use magic to solve the adventure and swing through the Number Pyramid, walk over Rainbow Bridge and make the cake at the Fiesta! Can be done with any size space you have, from living room to backyard. Great for 3, 4 & 5 year olds.

Tea Party
Cheers and pinkies up! Your child will be delighted that her favorite princess is pouring her "tea". Royal guests will learn etiquette, toast the birthday child and offer up birthday wishes to round out this very royal visit. For the truly daring, invite the Mad Hatter, and have a very, very wacky Mad Tea Party. I provide the wacky, you provide the clean up. Twelve exquisite, crystal cut cups can make an appearance (optional teapot, sugar container and silver tray if requested or we can use your tea set). I provide the fun, you provide the "tea" - apple juice works well.

Hawaiian Hula

Aloha! Pefect for those Luau parties, Hula-Lei-Lee or Little Leela, teach the meaning of the hands and the action of the hips of the old Hawaiian ways. Put it all to music and we perform the “Hukilau.” to the delight of the audience who encourage us with their warm "Alohas!" For 5 year olds and up.

Pirate Pillage
Ahoy there! Captain Oyster Breath, swashbuckles in to see if the new "crew" is worthy to be pirates on her ship, by testing their seaworthiness. Great for boys and girls. Depending on the time, Captain Oyster Breath can face paint them into pirates and accessorize them with balloon swords and pirate paraphernalia. Optional activities include a treasure hunt and games. "Walk the plank, you scurvy dog, arghh!"

Monster Mash
What to do with the older boys? Why not have a Monster Party and bring out their inner animal! You drop them off as boys and pick them up as Monsters! Through face painting they can become that Big Green Angry Monster, Skull Face, Werewolves, Mummies or Zombies.

Belly Dancing
Girls love dancing. And who better to lead, then the Arabian Princess or a Belly Dancer. She will teach them to shake and shimmy.

Ballerina Dancing
Swan Lake ballerina beauties perform right at your party, with adorable pas de bourrées, plies, and pirouettes.  Ballerina will teach your guest ballet and have them dance to classical music. Have your camera ready!

Charactergram
When all you need is a quick visit from your child's favorite character. A charactergram is great for popping in and out and still making the birthday child feel absolutely special. A Charactergram is a 15-20 minute visit which can include face painting, a balloon creation, posing for pictures and singing "Happy Birthday".

-------------

Tattoos
Hand painted Temptu tattoos and beautiful glitter tattoos add glitz to any party! Both are great for pool parties and last for days or come off in a minute with alcohol. View Tattoo & Henna. For kids, teens and adults.

Henna
This ancient art can now be worn on you! The results last for weeks! View Tattoo & Henna. For teens and adults.

Balloon Twisting Classes
Learn to make the basic, popular, most requested balloon animals, crazy hats and more complicated advanced creations. For small groups, I supply balloons, you supply the people.

Adult events and private parties

Adult Parties, Fundraisers, Silent Auctions, Family Events
Big People love to party and have fun too. The most popular are face painting, balloon twisting, glitter and paint on tattoos. I have a wide range of costumes that would compliment most parties or themes. Just Ask!

Walk-a-round Character
Add extra life to your next party by having a character walk around and engage your guest in bantering, witty conversation. Perhaps a Hippie, or Frida Kahlo, talking about art or Madame Kaverna reading your friends palm and predicting that they need moisturizer! Whatever the occasion there is always a place for a character to add pizzazz!

Singing Telegram
For that special adult in your life, when you want something that will leave their birthday memorable, surprise them with a singing telegram. Personal information is woven into the show to make it a one of a kind performance. Along with a hat, horn, telegram, streamers, and a comedy song, it's a gift they will be talking about long after the party is over.

Body Painting
Walking, living art can be yours! Celebrate your pregnancy with belly art - a unique and once in a lifetime memory. For club events or trade shows why not advertise your product on a walking model! Or watch a person being painted in real time evolve into a work of art as a dinner show.

Guidelines for young birthdays

1st Birthdays
These celebrations tend to have children of all ages, so most activities would work fine. Magic with face painting or balloons is common.

2nd Birthdays
Usually all the other children are around two, and my best approach is my variety package. I have found that face painting, parachute play, puppets and singalongs are the best activities for this age group. As exciting as balloons are, they can be given to 2 year olds and up, but are not recommended below that age as they pose a choking hazard for children.

3rd Birthdays
Dora Adventure works well, along with face painting, balloons, parachute play and singalongs.

4th Birthdays and up
Children at this age can enjoy magic and most of the activities listed above.

"If we love children, we very quickly know what to do with them in teaching or in entertaining them; but if we don't love them, no one can teach us what to do... [I]t cannot be overemphasized that the key to a child's pleasure in games is simplicity generated by genuine pleasure in the child and love for him or her." - Tom Glazer
