Suzy Spindoll's Circus Arts - kids party entertainment in the Blue Mountains

Suzy Spindoll's Circus Arts (Blue Mountains)

Circus face painting turns the birthday crew into performers before they try their first tricks, or pair painting with balloons.

Booking Face Painting: What to Know

A face painter gives a children's party a calm anchor point. While some kids race around the yard, others line up to become tigers, butterflies or superheroes, and the finished faces carry through every photo and the cake.

In the Blue Mountains, face painting often comes as part of a wider kids entertainment package rather than on its own. Painters cover the Lower Mountains, the Mid Mountains, Katoomba and Leura, and Blackheath and the Upper Mountains.

Things to settle before you book a painter:

How many children are coming, since a queue of 20 needs most of an hour even with quick designs
Whether you want painting on its own with balloon twisting, or folded into a longer circus-skills session
A party theme, so the painter brings stencils, glitter and colours that match the invitations
A spot with a table, two chairs and good light, sheltered from the wind on a cold afternoon
Any skin sensitivities among the guests, which parents can mention when they reply

Pair the painting with other acts from children's party entertainment, and use the children's party planning page for food, games and the running order.

Under-fives often prefer a small cheek design, such as a star or a ladybird, over a full face
Kids from about four to eight usually ask for animals, fairies and superhero masks
Tweens may want something subtler, like a glitter swirl along the cheekbone or a sports team emblem
A design board lets children choose in seconds, which keeps the line moving

Questions to ask a face painter

Are the paints made for skin, and do they wash off with soap and water
Do you hold a Working With Children Check, first aid training and public liability cover
How many faces can you paint in an hour with simple designs compared with detailed ones
Do you bring your own lighting, mirror and wipes, or should we set anything aside

Mountains weather on the day

Cold, damp air makes faces harder to paint and slower to dry, so set up indoors or on a covered verandah in winter
Daylight fades early from May to August, so schedule outdoor painting for the middle of the day
Mist and drizzle can drift in quickly, so keep a dry table ready even on a clear morning

Questions About Booking Face Painting

Can a face painter join a circus-skills party in the Blue Mountains?

Yes. Painting can be added to a circus party built around hoops, juggling and plate spinning, or booked with balloon twisting as a separate package.

Which parts of the Blue Mountains do the face painters here travel to?

They cover the Lower Mountains, the Mid Mountains, Katoomba and Leura, and Blackheath and the Upper Mountains. Ask about access if your home is further out in the valleys.

What ages get the most out of face painting at a Mountains party?

Children from about four to 12 tend to enjoy it most. Toddlers may only sit still for a small cheek design, so keep their options simple.

How long should I allow for face painting at a Katoomba birthday?

Plan on roughly two to four minutes per child for simple designs. For 15 to 20 children, set aside around an hour and run it alongside another activity.

Is party face paint safe for kids with sensitive skin?

Ask the painter which brand they use and whether it is made for skin. Test a small patch on the arm first for any child with eczema or allergies.
