Update May 5, 2020
As we round into Month 3 of the covid-19 lock down, we have a few updates for our clients:
Why is face painting so expensive? Why do you have to pay so much to have a princess come to your party? Why can’t you just have a 30min mascot visit?
Because almost all of our clients are party parents on a budget (although most of our income is actually from corporate clients on an even tighter budget) we’ve always put a lot of effort into keeping our prices down and our packages flexible enough for everyone to afford.
But we also understand it can be frustrating when you don’t see a package or price you had hoped for. So in the spirit of transparency in our business and respect for our clients, we published a breakdown of why, exactly, party entertainment can be so pricey.
Ever wonder what’s in face paint? (Is it really paint? Does it have any peanuts, soy, milk, or animal products? What about latex? Heavy metals?) What about perfumes? Is it okay for sensitive skin?
We use only 2 supplies for 2 brands of face paint–“face paint” being a misnomer, since what we really put on children’s faces is kid-friendly makeup. Face paint should never be done with actual paints! Our makeup is free of cancer-causing metals, unlike actual paint, all safe for skin, and cruelty-free.
Below is a full list of all of our face paint brands and their ingredients lists. If you have any additional questions, please contact our office during the booking process and we’d be happy to answer them!
A Guide to Throwing a Jojo Siwa Themed Event
At Kaleidoscope we specialize in custom combination packages–whether that’s a balloon twisting princess or a face painter who also does caricatures.
One of those options for the past 4 years has been balloon twisting stilt walkers–something no other company in the area has been able to offer.
However, after an incident in the balloon twisting line this past weekend lead to a stilt walker falling (the second time this year) we have to discontinue this product.

New Ideas and Activities for Unicorn Parties
At Kaleidoscope, we’ve been doing Unicorn parties for almost a decade. We’ve seen the trend go from My Little Ponies to something so much more glittery, sparkly, and iridescent. In fact, the trend has grown so much that our office staff had a “Unicorn Meeting” so we could brainstorm all the great ways we can make your Unicorn party super original and memorable! Here they are–take a look, and when you think you’ve found some good choices, our booking specialist can help you with a quote:

So, did your kid ask you for a Baby Shark themed party—and you’re thinking, “What could I even do with that?”
Baby Shark is not a new song—but when the entertainment brand Pinkfong released its new rendition of the old nursery song in 2016, Baby Shark rose to unprecedented popularity, and unlike absolutely everything else in the world, babies and children everywhere still love Baby Shark in 2020. So it’s no surprise you want to throw your child a Baby Shark themed party! At Kaleidoscope, we hear this request all the time, and as Professional Fun Makers, here are some of our suggestions as to how Kaleidoscope can help you throw the best Baby Shark themed party for your kid.
After 10 years in the event entertainment industry, we have a pretty good idea as to which weekends are best and worst for throwing events. Our office team actually keeps track of the busiest event weekends of the year (or, at least the busiest for CT, RI, MA, and NH) to help our clients pick make great choices when picking a day to throw their party.
Here are a few general rules:
