Funniest Things Kids ask the Characters


The funniest things children ask the characters

Over the last Eight years of doing kids parties I've grown to understand the minds of children. Every weekend playing a character for Kids Party Characters you really see how a child's imagination works & how they interpret reality.

Children under the age of 8 & in some cases up to 10 years they still believe that Spiderman can really shoot webs from his wrists & climb walls while elsa is building Ice Castles & snowmen with a wave of her hand.

so bearing this in mind it's important to know how your character you're portraying so you can answer their questions and keep them believing in miracles.

As I arrive in my Cinderella gown the questions I often get are "Where is your horse & carriage" or "Where is Prince Charming"?

My response is as follows: "I have to send the horses away so they don't make a mess in the neighbors yards & eat all their grass and Prince Charming takes the best care of them so he drove away the carriage".

Elsa is probably the most booked princess today. the most asked questions are "Why did you freeze your sister?" or "Were you sad when your parents died in the boat wreck"?

How do you answer these questions to a precious little child?

As I think long and hard I respond. When I was little girl not much older than you my powers were new to me. I didn't quite understand how they worked & I was learning to control them. Freezing my sister was an accident but it showed me how much I love her and always want to protect her. 

How I respond when they ask if I was sad when my parents died I try very hard to keep it positive and teach them the circle of life. I explain to them to always look at the good memories you share with those you love when you lose them. 

This may not be the best answer but I know I'm teaching them the power of Love for family and those you care about.

Now Moana is up and coming as the newest Princess of interest. This princess teaches the children free will and to follow your ow path no matter what anyone else tells you.

I personally admire her courage and empaled the writers for teaching the children this valuable lesson.

I feel we are evolving into a world where girls and woman can finally speak up and be anything they put their minds to.

Moana is the epidemic of that in todays world you can be anything you want if you just believe in your self and follow your dreams.

As far as boy characters I'm gonna have to interview our male actors so you can hear their stories of what such characters like Batman or Spiderman get asked.

Always remember a child's imagination is priceless. As long as you never lose that you will never lose your inner child.

3 Tried & Tested Tips For Traveling with Kids

In January, Pedro Pla and his wife Grace Cheng embarked on a six-month journey around the world with their two sons, 4-year-old Ramses and 2-year-old Ranefer.
The couple, who are the cofounders of credit-card comparison site Get.com, hit 1 million airline miles after a year of racking up credit card rewards points, which they used to purchase four business class Round-the-World tickets, worth a total of $54,000 (though they had to cover taxes and fees).
The family of four is traveling to five continents and at least 15 countries, including Kenya, Switzerland, Argentina, Colombia, and South Korea. That's a lot of constant movement for anyone, but add two toddlers into the mix and the journey becomes a bit more challenging.
Along the way, Pla says they've discovered a few "tried and tested tips" for traveling with toddlers. Check them out below:
1. Pack more of their stuff and less of yours
"As we are traveling to five continents on this six-month round-the-world trip, we have the additional consideration of packing for both warm and cold climates as we traverse from the Southern to Northern hemisphere, and then down to South and then up North again, and so on. We made sure to prepare sufficient winter and summer clothing for them in advance to avoid having to hunt for them in times of need."
2. Set aside free time in between sight seeing
"Ramses and Ranefer are still toddlers, so they have toddler-specific needs, such as needing rest time and play time. As we are traveling on our own, we have the freedom to plan how and where we want to spend each day. We try to stretch out our visits in a particular destination over several days so that we can explore the different places at a leisurely pace and have time to rest and relax. Our two boys have napped everywhere, be it in a pool cabana, safari jeep, plane, taxi, museum, restaurant, or national park.
"We also try to strike a balance of setting aside time to let them run in the park and also having time to check out art galleries and museums, which have proven to be quite intriguing to their young minds."
3. Engage them in stories about their experiences
"Whenever we take on new places or activities, our focus is to let them soak in the atmosphere. For example, when we visit museums and galleries, we would tell them stories of what they were looking at — be it portraits of historical kings, Egyptian mummies, or dinosaur fossils. Stories capture their imagination and make them feel a connection to what they are seeing."
