Alexandra the Mermaid

August 25, 2021 kscope

Alexandra the Mermaid is one of Kaleidoscope’s specialty characters who would love to entertain at your party!

Here are some of the options for booking Alexandra.

Kids Bubble Play Parties

If you’re looking for mermaid entertainment at your kids party, Alexandra offers bubble play packages!

Every Alexandra bubble party comes with:

  • Alexandra dressed in the costume of your choice (walking mermaid fin, pirate, fairy, or clown)
  • 2 commercial bubble machines to fill your party with bubbles for the duration of her stay
  • Your option of face painting, balloon twisting, and/or glitter tattoos (depending on the size of your party)
  • 30 minutes of bubble play with Alexandra

 

Bubble Party FAQs

  • Can she wear a swimming tail and get in the pool with the kids? For the safety of Alexandra and all party guests, Alexandra cannot get in water at any event.
  • What does her tail look like? Alexandra has 2 tails: her walking dress (for kids’ bubble parties) and her swimmable fin (for meet and greets or with a stationary activity with a second entertainer). See our mermaid options here, but for bubble parties, she will come in her walking fin unless otherwise specified.
  • What games do you have for bubble play? Alexandra will set up a table of fun bubble supplies for kids, as well as play a variety of bubble and water-themed singalong / copy-me games with them. These games are more fun when adults join in the party, and are recommended for ages 2-5.
  • How many bubbles do the bubble machines make? Our bubble machines are professional grade and can create a ton of bubbles! However, if you’re looking for mountains and mountains of bubble bath, we recommend our foam dance parties.

Swimmable Fins

Most of our kids parties with Alexandra include her in a walking fin dress to make party activities more doable.

However, if you’d like her to come in her realistic silicone fin, Alexandra is available for meet-and-greets and corporate modeling. Ask our office about meet-and-greet pricing!

More about Alexandra

When living on land, Alexandra is a fashion student at Savana College of Art & Design and works at Kaleidoscope on her summer and winter breaks. Her hobbies include cosplay, everything Disney, and of course mermaid conventions!

Tie Dye Party Stations

January 7, 2021 kscope

Our tie dye party stations are available in CT, MA, RI, and NH and are the perfect addition to parties in looking for hands-on activities for guests!

What To Expect with a Tie Dye Party Station:

  1. When your guests approach the station, a professional artist will help them twist and band their shirt.
  2. Next, they’ll pick up a spray bottle and begin spraying the colors of their choice into the fabric.
  3. Finally, they’ll either place their (still damp) creation in the sun to dry or directly into a gallon bag (whichever makes the most sense for your event) to take home.
  4. In their bag will be a set of care instructions. At home, they can take their apparel and either iron it or throw it in the dryer on high to set the dye.

Step 2: a pair of hands holding small tie dye party spray bottles over a shirt
Step 3: several colorful shirts banded behind plastic
Step 4: a tie dye shirt sitting on top of a clothing dryer. Guests will leave the tie dye party with their apparel and set the dye by placing it in a dryer on high.

Why We Spray, Not Dip:

  • Traditional dip-dye requires tons of water, requires a long dry-time, and makes a huge mess. (None of which are ideal for a scheduled event!)
  • Our spray dyes can be easily applied to clothing by any age of guest without making a mess on themselves or the event venue.
  • The spray-dye effect on the apparel will leave more white than traditional dip-dye (as you can see from the photos in the above gallery), but also uses significantly less liquid–meaning that even large events don’t need a large drying station or long dry times.
  • Spray-dye stations are easier to transport and set up, saving clients unnecessary set-up fees.
ASK ABOUT AVAILABILITY

Tie Dye Party Station Considerations:

Mess: while our spray-dye is low mess, some dye may find it’s way onto the ground or guests’ clothing. While the dye is washable until is set with heat, we encourage you to keep your station outside in the shade during the warmer months and remind your guests to wear comfortable clothing.

Set Up: Our artists need a few things for a successful set up. We bring everything else!

  • A large folding table (or two) ideally outside to control the mess
  • A folding chair
  • If outside: a spot in the shade (if outside during warm months for artist and guest safety) or with adequate lighting (if at night)

Garbage Can: Guests will be given disposable (latex-free) gloves to keep the mess to a minimum. A garbage can (or even just a garbage bag) will help control the mess.

Dry Station: While guests can instantly put their spray-dyed creations into a gallon bag (which we provide), we’ve found the best results allow shirts to dry on the ground or a folding table in the sun. A designated drying area is helpful but not required, depending on how your event is being planned.

Large Events: For events over 50 people, we recommend several additional tables labeled in alphabetical order where guests can let their creations dry and then easily find their apparel before leaving. Please discuss the logistical considerations of large scale events with our office.

ASK OUR OFFICE FOR DETAILS

Tie Dye Party Pricing:

Tie dye stations parties include one or more professional artists (depending on your event size), a canvas drop cloth to keep the station clean, and all the dye, rubber bands, gloves, gallon bags, and laminated care instructions that your event will need.

Our stations are priced by the hour for all of the above labor and supplies and take into account the number of guests at your event.

We can additionally provide 100% cotton apparel, or you can supply your own apparel at the event when the artist arrives.

Contact our office for pricing of labor/supplies as well as apparel options.

Face Painting Ingredients and Safety (Updated 2024)

April 6, 2020 kscope

Ever wonder what’s in face paint? (Is it really paint? Does it have any peanuts, soy, milk, or animal products? What about latex? Heavy metals?) What about perfumes? Is it okay for sensitive skin?

We use only 2 supplies for 2 brands of face paint–“face paint” being a misnomer since what we really put on children’s faces is kid-friendly makeup.  Face paint should never be done with actual paints! Our makeup is free of cancer-causing metals, unlike actual paint, all safe for skin, and cruelty-free.

Below is a full list of all of our face paint brands and their ingredient lists. If you have any additional questions, please contact our office during the booking process and we’d be happy to answer them!
