Believe it or not, spring actually IS right around the corner, and for many people, that means Easter is coming up! This year, Easter falls on April 20. Kids love Easter celebrations and there are so many events and parties around this time of year celebrating Easter and the return of spring.
Our entertainers know all about painting faces with Easter egg designs, bunnies, baby chicks, flowers, Easter baskets, and more. Maybe you could even wear a silly balloon hat with springtime colors or have a balloon bunny for a pet!
Silly Sally's is available for all kinds of Easter events, whether it's entertaining at your Easter egg hunt, face painting springtime designs at your egg-decorating party, or even making balloons next to the Easter bunny. Just give us a call at 888-78-SILLY, and we'll be sure to make your Easter party a hopping good time!
This weekend (March 15-16) is the Jewish holiday Purim, and we at Silly Sally's are ready to have tons of fun! Often known as the "Jewish Halloween", the story of Purim is recorded in the Book of Esther, and it's a holiday where everybody dresses up in costumes and masks, dance, make arts and crafts, eat tasty treats, put on plays, and so much more. Not only do we have Purim events coming up in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but we have also been requested to perform our super silly bubble show at synagogues, Hebrew schools, and Jewish community centers, and create some great face painting designs and balloon hats at a senior center (so it really is fun for all ages!). We can't wait to make your Purim events a blast!
Silly Sally's was honored to provide lots of silliness at the Amway event in Los Angeles, CA.
At the event, Silly Amy made amazing balloon designs which kept the kids, guests and event organizers, smiling all day!
Silly Sally's also provided beautiful face painting which was a big hit with all the kids - throughout the day tigers, princesses, superheroes and dinosaurs could be seen, walking around enjoying the fun!
The bubble show was a big hit with all the kids - some even got to create giant bubbles themselves using the silly bubble tools. Bubbles of all shapes and sizes were created by Silly Jordan. Bubbles were floating all around at the event, adding to the magic of the day!
Catering was also provided by Silly Sally's which included scrumptious cupcakes of many different flavors!
Everyone had a blast at this company event, especially the kids who had a wonderful day of fun thanks to Silly Sally's!
Balloon twisting and balloon design is both art and a
performance in itself! From years of balloon twisting at kids’ parties, I’ve
learned some important things about creating balloon designs when entertaining
at birthday parties and school events:
Hats!
Balloon hats are perfect for kids’
parties. You can go totally wild with the colors, height, and design of balloon
hats.
They’re great because most balloon
hats begin with a “helmet” base, and you can build off of there. That way, each
kid at the birthday party can have their own unique balloon sculpture, and
there is much less risk of popping if the kids are just wearing the hats on
their heads instead of bopping them around. Imagine Seussical like hats
floating around your party!
Some kids will request swords or
balloon doggies or other balloon animals at their parties, but if a kid isn’t
too particular and just wants something colorful and fun, balloon hats are the
way to go!
Also…adults love balloon hats too!
Oh no,
what if a balloon pops? Believe it or not, this can be the fun part. It’s
a chance to be silly and make jokes about repairing the balloon! If a
balloon doggy pops, he can go to the balloon vet! If a balloon hat pops,
it can get taken to the hat repair shop! It’s an opportunity to crack
silly jokes and entertain, so kids’ frowns are turned upside down very
quickly, and no need for tears if a balloon goes snap, crackle, pop!
Finally, here are a couple tips for balloon twisting if you
want to try it for yourself:
-Don’t overfill your balloon with too much air: it might
look nice and full if you do, but the more you twist, the more room you’ll need
in the balloon, and a too-full balloon will pop more easily.
-Practice, practice, practice! When doing certain
balloon designs, sometimes the balloon has to be a certain length, or has to
fit around a kid’s head. Don’t be afraid to measure a balloon around a kid’s
head, it can be something silly to add to the show! When you practice the
precise measurements of the balloons, and where to twist one balloon onto the
next, eventually you can twist balloons at super fast speeds and it will still
come out perfectly!
-Be silly! Every step of the balloon twisting process,
from blowing up the balloon, to the twisting, to adding more fun colors, is a
chance to be creative! When I am making balloon designs, I always have a
captive audience, and why NOT entertain at the same time? As a party clown, I
often use the balloon as a silly prop, like a telephone or a bowtie, to make
jokes and interact with the children as I am making the balloon creation. It
really adds something special to balloon twisting, and I love it when I am able
to see kids smiling the whole time!
