| The tone of the party is set by the age of the birthday child and his or her friends. |
 |
Magicians, balloonists, clowns or face painters would work well if the children are below 5 years. |
|
Hired inflatables like the Bouncy Castle would give them a chance to work off all their excitement and excess energy. |
|
Gym parties - held in indoor gyms - are another alternative for the little ones. |
|
There are a great number of entertainers specialising in science or magic, who can be hired out to entertain children for an hour or so. |
|
Outdoor parties in venues like bowling alleys, skating rinks or mini golf works well for older children. |
|
An easy decorating idea is to fill the venue with helium balloons. |
