Frequently asked Questions

How do I remove face paint?

Our face paints are easily removed with soap and water. We recommend applying liquid soap(baby shampoo is great!) BEFORE adding water to help lift the pigments from the skin without reactivating the makeup. Rinse with warm water. For smaller designs, a quick wiping with a warm soapy wash rag should do the trick.

How long does it last?

It lasts until you take it off, as long as it stays dry.

Are your face paints safe for kids?
Yes. We use professional-grade, cosmetic face paints that are non-toxic and skin-safe. Our products are designed specifically for use on the face and meet industry safety standards.

What ages are face painting good for?
Face painting is great for kids ages 3 and up. Younger children are welcome with parent approval, and we always adjust designs based on a child’s comfort level and patience.

How long does face painting take per child?
We focus on keeping lines moving while still delivering high-quality designs. Most designs take about 3–5 minutes per child, depending on complexity and the number of artists booked.

Do you offer full-face and simple designs?
Yes. We offer a menu of quick designs for high-volume events as well as more detailed options for smaller parties. We’ll recommend the best setup based on your guest count and event type.

Do you follow hygiene and sanitation practices?
Absolutely. Brushes and sponges are cleaned and sanitized regularly, and we follow professional hygiene practices throughout every event.

Can kids with sensitive skin or allergies participate?
Our paints are hypoallergenic, but we always recommend a small patch test for children with very sensitive skin. Parents may decline face painting for any reason, and we’re happy to offer alternative options when available.

Do you need anything from the host to set up?
We typically need a small table or space for our kit and access to water for setup and cleanup. Shade or a covered area is recommended for outdoor events. but most of the time we have a table available if we need it ( I keep one in my car).

How far in advance should I book face painting?
Popular dates fill quickly, especially in spring and summer. Booking early helps ensure availability and enough artists for your guest count.

Can face painting be combined with other services?

Yes. Face painting pairs perfectly with balloon twisting, foam parties, games, and other Busy Bees Arty Party services for a full entertainment package.

Foam Party FAQs

Is the foam safe for kids?

Yes. Our foam solution is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and designed for kid-friendly events. It’s safe for skin and won’t stain clothing.

Will kids get wet?

Yes, participants should expect to get wet and foamy. We recommend wearing play clothes, swimsuits, or clothes that can get wet. Towels and a change of clothes are a good idea for after the party.

Do you need water and electricity?

Yes. We need access to a standard outdoor electrical outlet and a water source within about 50 feet of the setup area.

What kind of space is needed?

Foam parties work best in an open outdoor space like a yard, field, or blacktop area. The surface can get wet, so an area that allows for water runoff is important.

Is there a mess to clean up?
The foam naturally dissolves on its own. Most of the cleanup is simply rinsing down the area with a hose. We handle setup and breakdown of our equipment.

What ages are foam parties good for?
Foam parties are best for kids ages 4 and up, but teens and even adults love them too. Younger children can participate with close adult supervision.

What if it rains?
Foam parties are weather dependent. In the case of heavy rain, lightning, or unsafe conditions, we will work with you to reschedule your event.

Can I add other services to a foam party?
Yes. Face painting, balloon twisting, games, and optional music can be added to your foam party booking based on availability and space at your event location.

How far in advance should I book?
Summer dates book quickly. We recommend reserving your foam party as early as possible to secure your preferred date and time.

Balloon twisting is live balloon art where each guest receives a custom balloon creation such as animals, hats, swords, flowers, and themed designs.

What ages is balloon twisting good for?
Balloon twisting is great for kids of all ages, including younger children. Designs can be simple for fast lines or more detailed for smaller events. Teens and adults love balloon art too.

How long does each balloon take to make?
Most balloons take about 2–4 minutes per guest, depending on the design and crowd size. For larger events, we recommend simpler designs to keep lines moving.

Are the balloons safe?
We use high-quality professional balloons designed for twisting. Balloons are latex, so guests with latex allergies should not handle balloons directly. Broken balloons should be discarded immediately and kept away from small children.

Do you follow hygiene and safety practices?
Yes. Balloons are handled with clean hands, and we follow professional safety practices during setup and service. We also monitor the area to keep popped balloon pieces from becoming a hazard.
