Love them! I had Blue's clues the first year...my daughter was 2...they came and entertained the whole class...loved it.. For the life of me her 3 s were a total blurr...we had someone...for her 4th birthday I had beauty and the beast...OMG they were FABULOUS! They literally put on a show for the whole school..and my daughter was the star of the whole school!! I have hired this company 4 times...and every time...THEY WERE ON TIME..FULLY PREPARED...and I tipped them well! LOVED EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! My daughter has since out grown this fun stuff...but it sure was fun!!! My son does not go to day care...so If I had a costume character show up he would totally melt down! For me I would set up a time with her school...set up the time with celebrate kids...I would get the cupcake cakes and matching plates and cups (at party time clearance rack) bring little box drinks...and the party was FUN EASY AND CHEAP!!!!! SUPER EASY WAY TO GO!!!!
