Childrens entertainers are all the rage at the moment, and with good reason. They do a whole lot more than just provide a guaranteed focus for a kids’ party: they can also represent better security and help deliver as smoother feel to the whole party experience. Leaving, generally, a lot more breathing space for the poor old parents, who usually end up twice as tired and scratchy as the children at the end of a birthday party or other celebration.The first and most obvious benefit of the kids’ entertainer is clearly his or her ability to entrance a whole house or garden full of children with jokes, games and magic routines. Childrens entertainers are highly skilled professionals, used to dealing with the most critical audiences in the land.Children are notoriously good at seeing through less than perfect routines, or spotting adults they know who have dressed up as something else. A kids’ entertainer is a different box of tricks entirely. Because the children in question don’t know the entertainer, they are incapable of divorcing the man or woman inside the costume from the character he or she is conveying. That means that to a child, a children’s entertainer really is whatever he or she purports to be – a clown or magician, for example. Because childrens entertainers encourage kids to suspend their disbelief in this way, the children who see them are more disposed to believe that the things they are doing are “real” – real magic, real tricks and real clown routines. Having mum or dad try to do the same thing, even if mum or dad happens to be pretty good at it all, will be seen through in seconds.The other obvious benefits of hiring and using a kids’ entertainer all revolve around the free time that mum and dad have when the entertainer is used. First, mum and dad are able to keep a much better eye on everything that is going on because they don’t need to provide the entertainment themselves. That means fewer upsets and no tantrums. Childrens entertainers take the focus of games and so on away from the parents, leaving them free to watch the kids as supervisors rather than nervous amateur magicians.Secondly, a kids’ entertainer’s presence gives the parents or house holders more time to arrange the food, liaise with other parents and so on. While the children themselves may not notice much of a difference, all the parents of those children will find a party staffed by a kids’ entertainer much easier to deal with, in terms of picking their charges up at the right time, feeding them at the right time and taking them home happy.Childrens entertainers are pretty much an all in one solution for any child’s party. Why waste time, energy and emotion trying to do everything at once – when a really good entertainer can take all the stress out of the occasion and make it a happy one for adults as well as kids? Choose the right one and there’ll be no tears before bedtime, no fights and no tantrums. Perfect.
