Help me decide what entertainment to have at DD's 1st Birthday Party!

I'm so late in making this decision and I just need to book something already. There will not be a ton of kids there, maybe 10 tops, all around 1 year old.

The puppet show sounds cute, but will the kids really sit still for 30 mins? I wonder if they could do a 10 minute show instead.

Right now I'm leaning towards the pretty clown and the parachute games! (also the cheapest!)

Thanks for the votes!

I'm surprised that the Music Together class is running pretty much neck in neck with the cute clown & parachute. I was thinking that it might be too formal and class-like for a 1st birthday party.

Any BTDT moms want to weigh in?

I voted for the clown, bubbles & parachute. I LOVED MT class so that was a tough choice for me. I know we had Elmo at my DD's 1st Bday party and it was 50/50 who was scared and who wasn't, so keep that in mind for the clown!

I think MT would be great as well because it's fun & different and the kids might enjoy playing with the toys & making music, singing and dancing!

Good luck with your decision!

Either the first and last. One y/o's definitely don't have the attention for a puppet show. Also, don't go crazy with entertainment since there will only be 10 kids there, I think whatever is cheaper- MT or clown, is how I would go.

We did the clown and it was a huge hit. We used Arty's Parties in Merrick.

My friend just had a party and used the Play Hooray group. If you have mostly kids 2 and under then they would be perfect. However if you have a few older kids the clown/facepainting/tattoos/cotton candy, etc would be better.

Also, I know a company that has an Elmo- they do an amazing job! They just show up, hang with the kids, no other services required. I feel like ALL kids love Elmo- and its great for short attention spans. ANd its probably half the price of the clown or MT!
