Performer for outer space themed birthday party for daughter turning 6
My daughter's 6th birthday is coming up, and she's requested a space themed birthday party. We've decided to have the party at home, since Chabot is a little more than we'd like to spend. I was thinking of having someone come to our house and give a demonstration in our backyard on making a comet out of dry ice or something similar. However, I haven't been able to find any entertainers that will do this. I was considering finding a grad student who wanted to make a little extra money. Has anyone done this before? I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

My child had space themed birthday parties at ages 3,4,5,6 and 7! So I've got lots of experience.
I found craft kits at Oriental Trading that worked fine. One was a flyer that kids pop out, put together, and color (made out of foam board). That was a good one Another good one was inflatable space shuttles, just help each child blow theirs up & they had a ball playing with them.
At an older age, we did Alia seltzer / film canister rockets. It's fun but messy & requires too much adult involvement
Personally, I don't think an entertainer or a more difficult craft is needed at that age. Although having an adult or teen at the craft table to help is important.
