The Funky Fairy

Face painting and glitter tattoos tend to draw the first queue when The Funky Fairy arrives, and there's plenty more once the kids have had a turn. The menu runs to balloon twisting, party games, a kids' disco and craft, plus candle making and soap making workshops for children who like to take something home they made themselves. It scales from a small birthday at home up to a large public event, and works as a roving act at a corporate family day too. You won't need to buy supplies, and a marquee is available on request, along with a fold-up table and seating. For face painting and glitter tattoos, set aside a patch of about 2 by 3 metres with water nearby. The hosts are covered by public liability insurance, and each one has a current Working With Children Check. Based in Canberra, travelling up to 100 km.
