Hiring a Clown for Your Child's Birthday Party

1. Clowns for children are usually multi-talented. When booking entertainment for your next party, don't forget to ask the entertainer what they offer. If you just ask for a magic show you may be missing some other talent that could add a lot of fun to the party!


2. Clowns with large amounts of makeup often frighten small children. Carefully evaluate your child's reaction to a clown. You may be surprised to find out that the clown becomes a monster in real person. If you child is in the 2 to 4 year old range, the clown should adjust the amount of makeup used


3. A professional entertainer should be able to guide you carefully during your decision making process. They have many years of experience when it comes to dealing with children.


4. It's always best to follow your instincts. If the entertainer you're speaking with is helpful, thorough and informative, you'll probably get some great entertainment. If the performer is abrupt, hasty to book the party and seems bothered by your questions then just look elsewhere. Attitude usually carries all the way through to the end.


5. Clowns come in hundreds of variations. A picture is worth a thousand words. It's always a great idea to see what your entertainer will look like. As them if they have pictures on their web site. Sometimes people perceive a certain image and get something different. Most clowns have a variety of different kinds of costumes.


6. Balloon Sculptures are very popular with kids. Most clowns do Balloon Sculpture. Make certain the smaller children do not eat their Balloon Sculpture.


7. Face painting is very popular with kids. Most clowns do some kind of face painting. The paint should be non-toxic and easy to wash off later.


8. Book the clown for the party as much in advance as you can. Saturday and Sundays  afternoons are the most popular times to have a birthday party. Most clowns charge more for that time period. To save money,  have the birthday party during the week.
