04 July 25 - 🎉 How to Keep 20 Kids Entertained at a Birthday Party

Without stress, screaming… or stuffing cake in your own face in panic

Let’s cut to the chase:
You’ve got 20 kids.
You’ve got 2 hours.
And you want a party that runs smoother than a Didi Car on a polished hall floor.

Here’s how to win the day and make memories — even if it’s chucking it down outside.

✅ 1. Split the Room Into Zones

One activity? Chaos.
Three fun stations? Genius.

Try this:

  • 🎨 Face Painting Station
    This is what we do best — magical designs, themed artwork (princesses, dinos, superheroes, unicorns & more), and professional, skin-safe paints. Kids will queue calmly while grinning from ear to ear.

  • Glitter Tattoo Zone
    Quick, sparkly fun for all ages. No drying time, no tantrums. Bonus: grown-ups love a sneaky glitter too.

  • 🎈 Free Play & Snack Table
    A table with colouring, toys, and snacks gives kids somewhere to chill (and parents somewhere to hover).

2. Add Didi Cars – It’s a Game-Changer

Seriously — Didi Cars are gold at parties.

They:

  • Don’t need batteries or plugs

  • Work on smooth floors in halls

  • Keep kids laughing, spinning, and racing without any drama

  • Are perfect for ages 3+ (and yes, even some adults try them…)

🏰 3. Indoor Bouncy Castle = Happy Kids, Worn-Out Legs

Ours are indoor-sized and interchangeable artwork, so we can match it to your theme without squeezing it into a space that’s too small.

Think:

  • Dinosaurs

  • Princesses

  • Superheroes

  • Unicorns

  • Mermaids

  • And more…

Fits most local halls – we’ll help you pick the right one.

🎨 4. Themed Doesn’t Mean OTT

You don’t need a full stage show. Pick a theme your child loves and let Mini Marvellous Faces bring it to life with:

  • Matching face paints

  • Glitter colours

  • Castle artwork

  • Themed table bits (plates, balloons etc.)

We’ve seen parents do AMAZING parties with a few pound-shop decorations and a sprinkle of creativity.

🎉 5. Structure is Your Superpower

(And yes, there is such a thing as a party that’s too long)

Here’s the truth: anything longer than 2 hours and the kids get tired, the parents get twitchy, and your party becomes less Peppa Pig and more Lord of the Flies.

🎯 Ideal party length?
1 hour 30 minutes of FUN, followed by food. Done. Dusted. Legendary.

💡 Here’s the Louise-Approved Winning Format:

⏱️ First 90 minutes – Full-On Fun:

  • Bouncy Castle madness

  • Didi Cars zooming round the hall

  • Face Painting & Glitter Tattoos (they queue calmly while others play)

This keeps everyone rotating naturally — no one’s waiting too long for anything, and there’s enough to keep all ages engaged.

🍕 Final 30 minutes – Food & Wind Down:

  • Call them to eat — this gives you time to start tidying up quietly

  • Parents start arriving = perfect time to hand out cake, party bags and compliments

  • Kids are tired, happy, and full — you’re a hero


🎉 Why It Works

  • No chaos at the end — you’re packing while they’re munching

  • No one leaves mid-game or mid-paint

  • Everyone goes home buzzing (and a bit glittery)
