We chose bounce house. My son hates face paint, so that wasn't even a consideration, and I almost did a balloon artist but they seemed so expensive for what you get. But it may depend on the ages of the kids - most three year olds seem to really dig the bounce house, older kids might want something else.
There was a carnival at my DD's school in June and the balloon guy was SO popular! It was the same couple of kids getting their faces painted and then some were getting it all over their hands and making a mess? I haven't met a kid who doesn't like a bounce house, but I don't love the idea of it. I would probably say balloon artist, bounce house and then face painter.
Bounce house, balloon artist, face paint. My kids love a bounce house, like balloons, and DD can't have her face painted. She did it once and her face was swollen within an hour.
I would do face paint. But Balloon animals sound fun, I don't like balloons so I would personally not choose that. The bounce house really depends on the age of the kids and the number of kids who will be there.
Bounce house! You can get a kit and have anybody face paint flowers and rainbows or whatever.
This! Bounce house keeps kids busy forever!! I got a bounce house for my dds bday. As long as you follow the rules like not using on a windy day etc...you will be fine. I live in Oklahoma & it worked great. Also anyone can face paint
Re: So if you could only have one of these at a birthday party, which would it be?
1. Bounce house. 2. Balloon artist. 3. Face painter.
My kids love bounce houses and I know quite a few kids who don't like their face painted. I would go with what your child would love best.
