Children’s birthday parties are such a big deal. Not just for the children who are celebrating, but for all of their friends too. And parents really do feel the pressure to put on the best party performance. From the decorations to the entertainment, there are so many things to consider that planning your child’s party can be a real struggle. But have you thought about a party theme? From princesses to super heroes, here at Mr Stix, we have performed at all manner of themed parties. And jungle themed parties, are often the most successful. As a result, we have produced this guide to planning a jungle themed birthday.

Why choose a jungle theme?

While princesses or superheroes might be more in your child’s interest, not all of their friends will have the right costume or even share their enthusiasm for the theme. This means that some of their classmates might not be as enthusiastic about attending the party, and might not turn up altogether.

At the same time, if you have a mix of genders and age groups attending the party, it can be a real struggle to fit together a theme to keep everyone happy.

A jungle theme solves all these problems. Animal masks are really easy to get hold of, and most children love animals.

In addition, party food, party bags, party games and decorations can easily be found to fit this theme.

The entertainment

All parties, even jungle parties, should have good children’s entertainment. And here at Mr Stix, we can provide top quality, award winning entertainment to children of all ages. And if we know about your theme, we can even incorporate that too.

Additionally, we can throw in some balloon modelling. And what better theme for balloon models, that balloon animals? We can create all manner of wonderful balloon creatures and animals, perfect for your little ones jungle themed birthday.

Any event in any place

Children’s parties and events range from a small gathering in a village hall, to a massive outdoor celebration. And finding children’s entertainment options that can keep all of the guests happy is a big ask. But balloon modelling comes close. Suitable for outdoor or indoor events, large or small, balloon modelling can be used to entertain children in small groups, one to one, or in large groups. This means that whatever you have planned balloon modelling could really make a big difference to your child’s birthday party.

Surprise and delight

Children of all ages are interested in balloon modelling. Watching someone create a familiar shape from a balloon with a few simple twists and turns is enough to keep them guessing. And the finished result will often surprise and delight. In fact, it is both fascinating to watch, and exciting from them to receive a balloon creation of their own. And with the option of leaving the birthday party with their own balloon model, children are more likely to remain engaged and interested.

As an award winning children’s entertainer, Mr Stix and the team attend a lot of children’s birthday parties. From tiny tots, to almost teens, we cover all age ranges. One party element that has been rising in popularity over recent years is the themed birthday party. But what is a themed birthday party? And how do you begin planning a themed children’s party? Well, here at Mr Stix, we’re here to help.

What is a themed birthday party?

A themed children’s party is one where all aspects of the party are planned around the theme. From the decorations to the party food, and even the party games, the whole party is planned around one theme. In fact, in some cases, the invited children and parents will be informed of the theme when invited, and the children may have to attend in fancy dress.

Planning a children’s party around a particular theme can make it easier for parents to make sure that their child has a birthday celebration that is geared around their interests. This will make it even more special. But what steps are involved in the planning?

Planning a themed children’s party

When it comes to planning a themed children’s party, you need to start by deciding on a theme.

One of the first things to consider is the gender balance of the guest list. Is your child going to be inviting boys and girls? Or just one gender? This is an important question, because a princesses party might not be inclusive to the boys you are inviting. So you might have to stretch the theme. Superheroes and Princess, and Pirates and Princesses are just two of the themed parties we have attended.

Once your theme is determined, you can purchase decorations to show off the theme. This is one of the most exciting parts for your little one to join in with, but some parents prefer to keep it as a surprise for the big day. Cardboard cutouts, table decorations, and even themed balloons can all help tie your themed party together.

Party food can also be themed, especially with things like mini pizzas that can be cut to shape, and biscuits and cakes that can be decorated in line with the theme.

Once you have planned your themed party, it;s time to book the entertainment. Make sure the entertainer knows the theme in advance, as some parts of the routine or show can be tweaked to fit. Why not get in touch with Mr Stix today to find out more?

 

When it comes to your child’s birthday party, or your family event, you’re probably focused on the entertainment value. Just how will you keep so many children happy? But did you know that hiring a children’s entertainer can also support child development? So with an expert like Mr Stix, you won’t just get a whole host of fun and laughter, you’ll also give your child an educational boost. Without them even realizing. As a result, we have produced this guide to show how exactly children’s entertainment supports development.

Language skills

From birth, children are able to understand the sounds around them and distinguish between different types of sounds. Talking and singing can help your child develop their listening skills, not to mention their speech and vocabulary. So if you want to host an under 4’s party, Mr Stix’s show will feature lots of signing and storytelling. And this will not only keep them engaged and happy, but it will help their development too!

But what about the older children? Well, believe it or not, children’s entertainment can still effect language development at an older age. Whenever children experience something new or exciting, they always want to tell you all about it. And this reciting of events helps to boost their vocabulary and improves their storytelling skills, which can even help with their writing development. Birthday parties or events are the perfect way to provide this excitement.

Co-ordination

Children love dancing and nursery rhymes. But have you ever noticed how children’s dancing games and nursery rhymes take a certain amount of co-ordination? Even heads, shoulders, knees and toes is a game that relies on the child being aware of their own body space. So for any under 4s party, you can expect that a good children’s entertainer will be using these songs and rhymes to encourage the children to join in. And in doings so, your children will develop their co-ordination skills further. Especially when there is a lot of dancing to be done!

For older children, dancing and games are a great chance to take this further and practice their control movements. Just look at musical bumps and musical statues. On top of this, Mr Stix can offer balloon modelling workshops, which is an opportunity to develop a whole host of new skills.
