Long Island Kids' Party Entertainment
A short character visit, a group performance and individual face painting use party time differently. Start with the children's ages and the number taking part, then explore Party Pro profiles for an activity format that works with your schedule.

What to look for
How much of the visit is active entertainment, and how are photos or individual turns handled?
What space, adult involvement and materials does the activity require?
What will the children actually do?
Picture the party from a child's arrival to the goodbye. A birthday can have one shared highlight, a choice of individual turns or a character moment woven into the celebration. Choose the experience first, then compare what each entertainer proposes.
- A shared show. Give the group a clear time to gather, with food and cake planned around it. Tell the performer the children's ages, the audience size and whether the birthday child enjoys being invited forward. Ask what watching and joining in look like.
- Individual turns. For face painting, balloon twisting or a creative table, plan what children can do while another guest takes a turn. Ask how many turns the proposed format can accommodate and which adult will help organize the group.
- A character visit. Decide whether the important moment is a hello, photos, a story or hosted games. Request the actual running order and exact character offered so the theme and the promised activity match.
Keep one short brief: ages, number taking part, favorite interests, venue, activity window and the help your adult hosts will provide. The children's entertainment and character planning guide compares these formats in more detail.
Make the details clear.
- Place the activity in the party timeline around food and cake so children can take part without rushing.
- Tell the Pro about the planned group and any participation needs you want to discuss.
- Confirm exactly which character, activity and supplies are included instead of relying on a general theme photo.

Kids' Entertainment & Characters: planning answers
How long should a children's entertainer stay?
Ask the Pro to recommend a format for your age range, group size and planned activities. A performance and an activity with individual turns need different amounts of time.
Does hiring an entertainer include supervision of the children?
Clarify the entertainer's role and the host's responsibilities before the event. Do not assume that activity delivery includes childcare or supervision outside the agreed activity.
