Birthday Parties
Even during the pandemic, we've thrown amazing virtual parties that have parents and kids raving. Whether you require a virtual or in person event, we provide a creative, dance-filled time certain to make your child feel special.
Our birthday parties are for children ages 3-11. We provide the host, entertainment, craft materials, and music. There are 3 birthday party themes: wizard, unicorn, and superhero. All of the kids make 2 art projects and the birthday child get a special craft or gift. The kids play 3-4 party and dance games and have a photo shoot where they don the costumes and props that they made during the party. The craft and photos are not only fun to create, but also memorable keepsakes. Contact us to customize a theme.
What do the kids create?
Wizard Birthday Party - kids make wizard hats and wands. The birthday kid decorates a satin wizard cape with embroidered patches.
Unicorn Birthday Party - kids make unicorn horn headbands, dreamcatchers or wooden unicorn sculptures, and unicorn hairstyles with colorful hair extensions and hair clips. The birthday kid gets 5 hair extensions and 10 the clips, while each guest receives 1 hair extension and 5 clips. Kids go wild for this, so we must have mirrors on hand for them to see their fabulous looks!
Superhero Birthday Party - kids decorate superhero eye masks and satin capes with sparkly, gem rhinestone stickers and geometric foam shape stickers. The birthday kid gets a special belt to decorate for a super look.
Party Sizes
Typical parties are for 5, 10, or 15 children. If your party is greater than 15 children, let us know how many you'd like to invite for a custom quote.
Music
Theme appropriate, of course. For wizard parties, lots of Harry Potter songs. For Superhero parties, Marvel movie and DC superhero theme songs. Unicorn parties have a fairy-magical like vibe. We also play Disney songs in the background as the kids craft - it's really cute to hear them sing along as they craft.
