ACTIVITIES

THE CLASSICS:

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.

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.

ADVENTURES:

These activities last around 15-20 minutes, so you can choose what other activities you’d like to round out your time with me. However, the Pirate Adventure has a lot of activities. You can decide which ones are important to you depending on time and number of children and personal preference.

“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
