My son is turning 4 in September and I've been thinking of hiring an entertainer for his birthday party (have never hired one before). We're not having a huge party but are going to have a little bbq at home with only about 10 kids around 3-5 years old. I've looked at some of the recommendations here but was wondering if it's worth having an entertainer for a small group of kids like this? I know his friends love face painting, balloon modelling etc. so no doubt they would like it. Any opinion and/or recommendations would be much appreciated!

I think for 10 children at home, you could entertain them yourselves with things like making hats, a treasure hunt, pass the parcel, apple bobbing...(or the dry equivalent, hang those circular iced biscuits with holes in the middle on a bit of string for them to try to bite with thir hands behind their backs..)


Maybe make a little mini icecream bar and let them make their own sundaes with fruit, sprinkles, sauce etc?

I agree - I don't think it's worth it for that number of kids. If they like painting then why not make masks (or buy them ready made) and get them to paint them. Or start watching the Mister Maker programme on CBeebies and copy one of his craft ideas. Or have a look on www.kidzcraft.co.uk for inspiration.


Followed by all the usual party games. Love the idea of the mini icecream bar Fuschia has suggested.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
