There are several different options available to parents when they are considering which type of children's entertainers they could hire for their kids birthday party.Here we look at some of the favourite types of children's entertainers and ways to keep kids amused at parties.
Face Painting
Face painting is always a hit at any child’s birthday party. This keeps the kids entertained for hours. They get to pick who they want to be for the day, whether it is a pretty butterfly for the girls or a super hero for the boys. You have to check that they use the right paints and make sure that all the brushes etc are cleaned properly. The best face painters to get are the ones that have been recommended by friends and family. These can make a child's day as even after the party has finished they can go home and have their faces still painted to show everyone else.
Confectionery
This one can be amazing for a child. Most children love sweets and sweet things so what can be better than having someone serving children candy floss on a stick and not only that they are doing it infront of them so the kids are being entertained and seeing how their candy floss is made. Obviously it doesn’t just need to be candy floss, it can be chocolate fountains, toffee apples etc.
Magician
Magicians are the ultimate old school type of children’s entertainers for parties. They mesmerise a child so much and are definitely fun. Kids will talk about when the magician made mummy disappear in the cupboard for weeks to come. Again with this type of children's entertainment you need to make sure they are good as you want kids to be saying how amazing the magician was rather than saying he didn’t do too much. A magician can keep kids entertained the most as they are so exciting and intriguing to a young child’s mind.
Games
Another favourite is someone that can put on games after games after games. Kids love to play games and especially games that they could possibly win a prize in. A lot of children’s DJ’s will put on games for the kids, or you can hire a children's entertainer who just specialises in doing children’s games. You need to make sure there are enough prizes for all the kids so everyone can enjoy the experience. The games can be things musical statues, musical chairs etc.
Characters
Character entertainers don’t actually do much to entertain a child, but saying that children get more excited about seeing their favourite character walking around and them getting a picture taken with them. Especially smaller children who can’t join in the party games as the bigger kids sometime take over. A character like iggle piggle, or spider man turning up to a kids party can make the party all that more special for the child who’s party it is and also all the children who are there to enjoy it with them.
Key Rings/Photographs
Everyone needs a memento of the best party ever so having someone there that can go around and take pictures for the child to keep forever or for the guests to take home with them is something that keeps the day alive forever and something they will always have. They can even have their picture taken with there super hero and be able to show everyone at school that Spider Man really was at their party.
