Our office team gets calls asking us to “donate our time” or “provide free face painting” daily,  so we finally wanted to blog about it. We love working for nonprofits–actually, we specialize in it! But a lot of these types of phone calls end in this: “I think we’ll just have our volunteers do it.”

It’s tempting (we know) to get a service done for free when you’re on a limited budget.

Hiring Kaleidoscope almost always mean you can actually make money off of face painting, but it’s still a leap of faith. So if your organization is still looking to get free face painting, here are a few tips from the professionals on making sure your event’s face paint isn’t a disaster:

Unique entertainment is our specialty–but what do you do when your kids get too old for traditional face painting and balloon twisting? In the hundreds of parties our face painters and balloon twisters have performed at, we’ve noticed after age 10 or so parents tend to forego entertainment since the kids are less interested, which can often lead to a pack of excited tweens tearing up their house with not much else to do!

Glow Parties are really fun alternatives to “little kid” parties and adult parties where there isn’t much going on besides talking. Here are some of our favorite things for helping your tweens and teens impress their friends with the best birthday party of the year! (And yes, you can have these parties at any age–from toddlers to adults!)
