Typical Birthday Party Format
-We arrive 15 minutes prior to performance time to arrange costumes, supplies and props. Children will be immediately engaged in activities appropriate to the theme of the party.
-Children decorate a birthday card that has been especially pre-decorated with your child's name and greeting written in glitter.
-Children dress up in costumes related to the theme of your choice. Everyone gets a costume. Even mom and dad if you choose!
-Your character will lead the children through games, movement and drama play. Each party is designed around specific storyline and is designed around your childs age level.
-After the games we stage a special birthday picture with all the guests, the birthday child and family (if requested).
-Storytime and performance will lead into the presentation of the birthday cake and songs.
-Happy Birthday Song and Cake Service - We sing, serve cake to children and adult guests and tell stories at table.
-Each party is customized to the occasion or to your child's special interests!
