Our birthday parties for kids boast age-appropriate activities that will keep everyone entertained. You and your birthday party guests can fully enjoy this momentous day.

Our musicians play music for children under one every day, and will tailor their music for your group! They will include infant appropriate movements, pass out instruments, and engage the children and adults alike. Our musicians are able to accommodate song requests and adjust to the theme of your party, so the music will be tailored to your family! Musicians will invite your adult guests accompanying children to participate in making music and entertain the whole group. 

Kids and adults alike love our musical entertainment! Our musicians are wonderful at getting everyone involved to create a special memory for your child on their birthday. We have several musicians to choose from, and you can always come to a Kids at Work class to check them out!
