Balloon artist
for hire
Hire a balloon artist or balloon clown for your event. Children ask for an animal or a sword and watch it take shape in a few twists.
Balloon figures made to order
A balloon artist turns long, thin balloons into figures that children take home. The child asks for something, the artist starts twisting, and the children in the queue watch to see how it turns out.
We arrange a balloon artist or a balloon clown to suit your event. A clown plays more with the children in the queue and cracks jokes. A balloon artist without a costume works at a calmer pace. At a busy event that makes a difference to how long the queue gets, while at a children's party the clown is often more fun.

Four places for a balloon artist
Family day
At a company family day, a balloon artist keeps the youngest children busy while the parents chat with colleagues. Every child walks away with something in their hand.
Shopping centre
On a Saturday or during a theme day, a balloon artist makes families stop and stay. A queue of children automatically draws more people in.
Children's party
A figure for every child, in the party's theme if possible. Handy at the start, when not all the friends have arrived yet.
Opening or open day
A shop opening, open day or anniversary that children come to as well. You can see balloons from a distance, and parents stay longer when their child is in the queue.
How long the queue gets
A little dog or a sword is quick to make. A flower with leaves or a figure made of several balloons takes more time. At an event with lots of children, we agree beforehand which figures are on offer, so the queue keeps moving and nobody waits half an hour.
At a party with a set group of children, it's different. There's time to make something special for each child, or to let the children guess what it's going to be.
If a child has a latex allergy, please let us know beforehand. Ordinary balloons are made of latex.
A balloon artist alongside the rest of the programme
A balloon artist works well as a calm spot alongside busier activities. At a family day the artist stands next to the games, and during theme days in a shopping centre at a fixed spot where the public passes by.
At a party for children, it also goes well with a children's disco. Figures are made in between the dance sets, and at the end every child goes home with something made of balloon.
We work from Enschede all over the Netherlands. We agree beforehand where the artist stands, for how long and whether a costume is included. The price depends on the duration, the date and the travel distance. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a balloon artist and a balloon clown?
A balloon clown makes balloon figures in a clown costume and plays more with the children, with jokes and a bit of light teasing. A balloon artist works without a costume. Young children often find a clown more fun, although some children are a little scared of clowns.
Can children choose what they get?
Yes. At a party with a small group, almost anything is possible. At a busy event we usually work with a card of figures for children to choose from, so the queue keeps moving.
How long does a balloon figure last?
Usually a few days, depending on the temperature and how it's played with. In the sun, in a hot car or near a radiator, balloons pop sooner.
Are balloons safe for young children?
A whole figure is safe to play with. Pieces of a burst balloon shouldn't be near children under three, because they can choke on them. So clear up burst balloons straight away. If a child has a latex allergy, it's better for them not to play with the balloons.
How much does it cost to hire a balloon artist?
The price depends on the duration, the date, the travel distance and whether you'd like a balloon clown in costume. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
Where should the balloon artist be?
Tell us the date, the place and roughly how many children you're expecting, and we'll check what's possible within 1 working day.
