From the puppeteer who brings stories to life, the face painter transforming little faces into works of art, the musician whose tunes have kids singing and dancing, to the balloon artist, twisting balloons into delightful shapes and figures - each one of you is a treasure. 💃🎻

New vendor for Kidvention 2024! Cameleon Colors!

My resolution is to start planning my day around my "peaks" and "dips" in energy. I have found that I work much better during my peak times but didn't know when they were. I started using an app called "Rise Sleep" and it tells you every day what the times are based on your sleep. It's been working really well so far! Did you make a resolution??

We are about one month away!! We are STILL adding things to the convention! Look for more big announcements next week. The final schedule will be done by the end of next week. Does anyone have any questions about the convention? Post below!

Need a gift idea?? Registration to Kidvention would be a great gift for any magician, face painter, balloon artist, puppeteer, and clown! Purchase at KapitalKidvention.com

Dana Hill is teaching this year! He will be teaching a class called "Performing and Marketing for Libraries"
Learn the ins and outs to get booked year after year in libraries. Any children's entertainer looking to get into the library circuit will not want to miss this class!

Darci Mchenry is back as an instructor and a vendor! She has two unique classes that she will be teaching. Take a look:
Glenna - the glitter tattoo/henna hybrid that’s making an impact. Many of us have incorporated glitter tattoos and henna for years but now it’s a new emerging specialty. Attendees will learn how to use stencils specifically made for this craft and henna as one. We will have standard tattoos on hand as well to practice on each other with. No experience necessary.
Make the leap into something new!
Face Painting on a Budget aka “Dollar Tree”- getting started or maintaining income can be very intimidating. I will go over serious cost saving tips and tricks and places to get supplies to get your business going or to bring it to a new level on a budget. From Dollar Tree finds to DIY and thrifting you’ll be amazed at what you can find and repurpose! Special attention will also focus on what is essential to have for paints and what is “extra”.
