Birthday guests among the ages 2-3.
If the majority of your guests fall in the 2 year old bracket, I highly recommend the 2 year old variety package. I understand that your child is turning 3, has an attention span therefore you would like magic for them. But if there are only a handful of the group that are three and older the majority of children will not be entertained.

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 below.

"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

ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN

Face Painting
People of all ages love to be painted. I paint check art to full faces. The industry standard is 10-12 faces per hour. My years of expertise and training allow me to exceed that. Therefore I'm able to paint many faces in an hour. I can also paint and provide other activities, in the same time it takes other painters just to paint. If you want I can still paint 10-12 faces in an hour, but it's the same price if I were to paint and provide other activities. View FAQs to answer most painting questions. 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. Sorry, no sleight of hand, animals or cutting anyone in half. Read Tips for magic setup. Fun for most 3 year olds, 4 year olds to 7 year olds.

Sing-a-longs
I sing a classic kids songs acapella. Some songs, I use hand puppets. this NOT a puppet show. About 15 minutes. For toddlers and small children.

Parachute Play/Games
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.

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, 15-20 minutes. If your child is undecided, she doesn't know if they want a princess or a "Cora." I would strongly suggest "Cora." They have their whole lives to believe in fairies and princesses and only this small window of time to be in love with "Cora". 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 Arrr, 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. Great for girl or boy birthdays.

Ninja Training
What little person wouldn't love their own Ninja Training sensei training them in the way of the stealth-like warrior? Ninja will ground them with their breath, strenthen them to be strong like the willow yet, bend with the wind. They will learn some martial art moves and bow in respect of their new found abilities.

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
Ballerina 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.

Super Why Adventure
Princess Pesto to the rescue with her spelling power. Have a reading party aventure. Find the secret letters to form the super word: Sing Happy Birthday. Pair with balloon art to make the initials of your birthday guests. About 15-20 minutes.

Scooooooooby Dooby Doo Mystery Adventure
Have Vilma train your young sleuths to hone their detective skills, sniff out clues, and solve a mystery right in their own homes! What would they do for a Scooby Snack?

Scavenger hunt
I call out a list of found objects or make the guests act out adjectives. All while dutifully being aware of the boundaries of your event. No running allowed. For 6 year olds and up.
