We had California Kids Fun come to our school and perform for 60 TK (Transitional Kindergarten) students. The performer was fabulous and really understood the sense of humor of 4 and 5 year olds. There was so much laughter and joy during the performance. Kids were engaged and eager to see what would happen next. One of the unique aspects of the show was the ability for the students to interact with the puppets by coming up and touching them and the puppet would engage with them in a silly manner. The students were enthralled. We look forward to having them come back and perform for our school next year.
Ventriloquist Joe Put on an awesome show for our school today. Kids of all ages were entertained and had a chance to interact with the puppets. Even parents were entertained. Joe was funny and really really good. I would totally recommend him and I would hire him again for another party.
We have used California Kids Fun services for our preschool! We were able to record precious moments when Sam was performing the show. Sam is very professional and talented! Our children had a blast during his performance and we will definitely use California Kids Fun services over and over. Thank you Sam for the wonderful job! You brought joy to Butterflies Academy!
