Entertainment

Guaranteed to get your guests gasping in amazement, Alan Extreme is a one-man juggling, fire eating, balloon twisting children’s entertainer. His mime and living statue shows are not to be missed either.

If your wee guests just love to laugh, then Alex the Magician is your man. This roving entertainer makes little ones giggle with a mix of ventriloquism, puppetry, clown acts and balloon sculpting and is big on audience participation. He’ll even hang around to help the birthday kid cut their cake!

Mini Picassos can host an art jamming party with Art Boot Camp and have a ball getting messy while painting their own art canvases. Parties are fully hosted and include food, decorations and even invitations!

Got a garden, mama? Then you definitely need a bouncy castle and the masters at Bouncy Castles can hook you up with a rental for the day. If bouncing isn’t your thing, then they also have ball ponds, slides, obstacle courses, and water floats, as well as carnival items and entertainers (a unicyclist could fit the bill perhaps?) available for hire.

Dance with the Flo will host a dance party at your venue of choice, providing props and music for the gang, with entertainers on hand to keep the party going! You choose the choons, with previous themes including Pop Star, Disco, The Fairies, and High School Musical.

Fantasy Parties have a great selection of roving entertainers on their books, offering a nice selection of characters (think superheros, princesses or cartoon characters) that’ll keep your wee guests wowed. With themed games and activities, entertainers will keep your mini guests busy while you put your feet up. 

The entertainment specialists at Fizazzle provide a one-stop-party entertainment package that includes a party coordinator (so you can sit back and relax mama), a full decoration service, a costumed host, music and all props and materials. Parties are specially themed for the age group of your guests.

Jelly Bean Party is a one-stop shop when it comes to finding the perfect party entertainer. Featuring magic shows, balloon sculpting, face painting, glitter or airbrush tattoos and party games, these guys are dedicated to providing parents with professional entertainers who amp up the fun factor for party guests.

How about a science party where kids can learn how to make sticky slime? Mad Science Singapore designs parties for 4 to 12 year olds that are science themed, hands-on and lots of fun. Kids will be kept busy with demonstrations and activities that are just as much fun as they are educational!

Or let Mr. Bottle’s Kids Party organize your mini’s next birthday bash! Their themed parties include magicians, balloon sculpting, face painting, airbrush tattoos, caricatures, storytelling, classic carnival games and even popcorn, candy floss and bouncy castles! Parents looking for something a little more educational can opt for a craft party, with mosaics, origami and tile painting all available for little learners.

If you are looking for an entertainer for the tinies, give Mr. Rabbit a call. This children’s magic specialist (and balloon sculpting pro) will come to any party location to delight young audiences.

Performing at over 320 parties each year, Star Dazzle Concepts know children’s parties. Their team of magicians, jugglers, clowns, fire eaters and stilt walkers will wow young guests, while their birthday party packages include a cake cutting ceremony and a free confetti shower!

Six to twelve year olds can roll up their sleeves and get messy in the kitchen with a ToTT baking party. Decorate cupcakes and make cookies in the custom ToTT kitchen and leave the mess for someone else to clean up!

If you’d prefer to let the little ones entertain themselves, then order a birthday party package from Toy Rental Club and hire any number of toys for your next party.

Don’t want to invite the entire class to the party? Then entrust That Magical Party to create a small party that is interactive and fun for little friends. Their signature magical concerts use magic, music and movement to capture imaginations and keep kids busy!
