How to Find Your Favorite Kids Entertainer, Clowns, for Your Kids Party
As a professional kids entertainer and parent of four, I would like to share some of my experience with parents who are looking for entertainment for their kids party. Folks usually turn to professionals for solutions, they are willing to invest their hard earned cash to put on a kids party that would be fun and memorable for both their child and their guests alike. The purpose of this article is to shed some light on some key points to consider when hiring entertainment for your child’s party.
Age appropriate:
What is the age range of the kids that you are looking to entertain? Usually, a parent would want entertainment not only for their child but for the guests as well. We know that your child likes Elmo, but you have invited other kids to the party as well. You may want to consider entertainment that would cater to the appropriate age group invited as opposed to just the birthday child. A professional entertainer would know how to make the birthday child feel special without making the other kids feel not included.
A clown isn’t just a clown:
Please consider the person behind the make up. Performers vary greatly in approach and style. The best example is when people hire a costumed character, let’s say Elmo. Please, consider the person who will be wearing that costume. Kids have an amazing intuition and can pick up on each others fears. A seasoned professional will know how to calm those anxieties very early on and bring the group together into the fun zone.
Use your best judgment:
Do some homework on the performer before you commit: Are they a full time kids entertainer? Are they patient and genuinely like children? (Kids require a lots of patience) Do they project a professional image? (Website, Demo, Costume etc.) Can you find reviews or testimonials on them? (Websites reviews, Local library reviews, etc.)
Planet 51 is worth watching
Last night, I ordered the new movie ‘Planet 51′ from Direct Star TV on demand service in high definition. We made some popcorn and had a family night. The movie may confuse the younger generation with some of the science fiction references, but it was still a really great movie.
I like how the creators of the movie flipped it around to where the humans are the ‘aliens’. This is something that I have never seen done before and it really has a lot of potential. Seeing a NASA trained astronaut running frantically through the alien city is sure to produce some laughs from all age groups. It gives a refreshing outlook for an area of films that have been reproduced far too many times.
There are several typical parodies that you would expect from an ‘alien’ movie. There are countless ‘Star Wars’ and ‘ET’ jokes. If you love science fiction movies, then this film will not leave you disappointed. While it is directed mainly at children, even adults will have a great time with the references to ‘Area 51′ and many other popular scenes.
One of the funniest characters that you will see in the movie, is a small robot named ‘Rover’ that thinks he’s a dog. Rover’s mission is to collect mineral samples to take back to Earth for analyzing. But what makes this odd machine so hilarious is that he’s so focused on collecting these rocks, that he completely overlooks the aliens that surround him. It runs around wildly, searching for anything that it can possibly get in to. And when it meets up with the alien dog, this scene is sure to make even the toughest man crack a smile.
Overall, this movie was hysterical in every aspect. I would recommend this movie to everybody, not just children.
Cleaning Made Easy
Finding time to clean in a fast-paced environment has become more of a chore than ever. Women with hectic schedules can attest that convenience and effectiveness are key when dealing with the overabundance of stains, smudges, dirt and grime encountered daily. While cleaning is never a preferred activity, there are surefire methods to make the process less excruciating. Check out these helpful hints to save some extra time and energy:
Removing Red Wine Stains From Upholstery
There’s nothing quite as unsightly as a red wine stain on a light-colored couch or love seat. To remove red wine stains from upholstery, simply blot the area with a paper towel and sponge with warm water to dilute the stain’s concentration. Blot again and sprinkle talcum powder on the remaining stain. Let the powder stand for 2 or 3 minutes and then brush off. Repeat the sponging and blotting if the stain remains.
Removing Burned Food
From Pots and Pans
Scorched food on pots and pans can cause a real headache when it comes to washing dishes. Often, no amount of elbow grease will remove a stubborn burned spot. Try pouring full-strength bleach on the scorched area and let it soak for 10 or 15 minutes. Fill the pan with hot water and continue the soaking process. This should clean off the entire area of burned residue. Remember to wash the pot or pan with soap and water to remove any leftover bleach.
Quick and Easy Cleaning at Home and On-the-Go
Women who want an easy-to-use cleaning tool with on-the-run convenience should use the WD-40 No-Mess Pen. Designed specifically to meet the needs of women, the No-Mess Pen is the perfect tool for removing sticker adhesive from picture frames and clothing; erasing crayon marks from floors, walls and counters; and getting rid of scuff marks on floors and other surfaces.
