All About Kids Party Face Painters, Clowns & Mascots in Nairobi
At Kids Parties & Event Rentals, our entertainers are the people who actually keep the children laughing — the face painter little ones queue up for, the balloon twister handing out swords and puppies, the clown running the games, and the costumed superhero or princess who makes the room gasp on arrival. Everything we offer here is close-up and interactive, designed around the birthday child as the star.
Pick a single entertainer to anchor the party, or stack a few — face painting and balloon twisting running side by side, then a costumed character mascot for the big reveal near cake time. Prices start from KSh 3,000 for face painting and scale up to a two-character meet-and-greet, so there is an option for a small home party and one for a milestone celebration.
Whether it is a superhero birthday in Karen, a princess party in Runda, or a school fun-day in Lavington, our performers are vetted, child-friendly and gentle with nervous toddlers. We bring everything needed, coordinate timings with you, and read the crowd so the energy peaks exactly when you want it to. All paints and glitter are cosmetic-grade and skin-safe.

Entertainer Questions, Answered
Kids Party Face Painters, Clowns & Character Mascots in Nairobi
Looking for a kids party entertainer in Nairobi who will keep the children laughing all afternoon? These are the close-up, hands-on acts that turn a birthday into an event — the face painter little ones line up for, the balloon twister handing out swords and puppies, the comedy clown running the games, and the costumed character mascot who makes the whole room gasp on arrival. Every act comes to your venue, and bookings start at just KSh 3,000.
How much does a face painter, clown or mascot cost in Nairobi?
Pricing depends on the act and how long you need it. Kids face painting starts from KSh 3,000 for a 2-hour session and a glitter and gem art bar from KSh 3,500. A balloon-twisting entertainer is from KSh 4,500, a comedy party clown from KSh 7,000, and costumed character mascots — superheroes like Spiderman or princesses like Elsa — are from KSh 9,000, with a two-character meet-and-greet combo at KSh 12,000. Transport is quoted separately by venue location.
Professional Face Painting & Glitter Art
Our trained face painters work straight from a picture board, so children point to exactly what they want — a roaring tiger, a delicate butterfly, a web-slinging superhero or a sparkling crown. We use only cosmetic-grade, water-based, skin-safe paints that wash off easily at bath time. For toddlers or big groups who want something quicker, the glitter and gem art bar applies sparkly tattoos and stick-on jewels in under a minute each, keeping the line moving and every child happy.
Costumed Character Mascots — Superheroes & Princesses
The thing that sets us apart is our costumed character mascots. A performer in a full-body suit — a superhero like Spiderman for a hero-training mission, or a princess like Elsa for a sing-along, story and royal crowning — makes a coordinated grand entrance and stays for photos with every guest. It is the ultimate surprise reveal, built around the birthday child as the star. For milestone parties, our two-character meet-and-greet combo brings a pair of characters for an extended, photo-packed appearance.
Balloon Twisting & Comedy Clowns
A balloon-twisting entertainer sculpts swords, puppies, flowers and hats on request, sending every child home with their own creation as a party favour. A warm comedy party clown, in the much-loved local Bambula tradition, hosts the whole room — leading musical games, silly dances and gentle slapstick that is friendly and never frightening. Both pair beautifully with face painting so children always have something to do between cake and games.

Our painters, twisters, clowns and characters travel to your home, garden, hall, clubhouse or restaurant across Karen, Runda, Westlands, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Langata, Muthaiga, Gigiri, Kitisuru, South B, South C and the CBD.
