Hey there! Planning a birthday bash in Springfield, MA? If you're searching for fun, reliable, and super creative birthday party entertainers in Springfield MA, you've come to the right place. We’re DazzleDay Face Painters — your friendly neighborhood pros at face painting, balloon twisting, and glitter tattoos. If you’re looking to wow the kids and make your party one to remember, let’s talk about why face painting is a total crowd-pleaser. Kids love it, parents appreciate the ease, and honestly, we’ve seen more giggles and “wows!” than we can count.

Face Painting is Always a Hit

Let’s be real—there’s something magical about turning into a tiger, fairy, or superhero for a day. Kids don’t just get a design on their cheeks—they get a whole new identity (and sometimes a whole new personality!). We’ve painted thousands of faces, and the sparkle in their eyes never gets old.


At every party, we hear the same thing:
“Can I be a unicorn next?”
“Do you have Spiderman?”
“I want to match my best friend!”


And we say YES to all of it. Face painting brings a splash of creativity, vibrant colors, and pure fun to any birthday celebration.


Entertainment can be the highlight—or the headache—of any birthday party. That’s why hiring pros who know how to keep kids laughing, engaged, and happy from the moment they arrive makes all the difference. 

Why Parents Love It Too

Let’s talk about you for a second—yes, the wonderful, slightly overwhelmed parent trying to pull off the perfect party.

Hiring professional face painters takes a huge load off your plate. While we keep the kiddos entertained, you get a chance to chat with other parents, enjoy the cake, and maybe sip your coffee while it’s still hot (miracle!).


Plus, we use safe, hypoallergenic paints that are easy to remove and totally kid-friendly.

The Data Doesn’t Lie: Kids Love Face Art!

In-person events offer a fun and personal way for attendees to connect and share real moments together.( source).

Here’s something cool we found from a survey by Eventbrite and Parents.com:


  • 82% of parents said interactive entertainers like face painters were the most memorable part of their child’s birthday.
  • 67% of kids preferred creative entertainment over passive activities like watching a movie or playing on a bounce house.


And based on our own DazzleDay bookings from last year, face painting and balloon twisting were requested at nearly 90% of birthday parties.

What Makes Us Stand Out

We’re not just birthday party entertainers—we’re artists, performers, and lovers of laughter.


Our team at DazzleDay comes with:

Feature Why It Matters
Professional-Grade Paints Safe for all skin types, even for sensitive skin

Friendly, Trained Artists We don’t just paint—we interact, joke, and connect with kids

Real Party Feedback (Yes, We Blush)

One mom told us, “My daughter didn’t want to wash her butterfly face off for two days!”
Another said, “You saved my party. The kids didn’t want to leave!”


We don’t take that lightly. As children’s birthday entertainers, making families smile is what we live for.

Face Painting vs. Other Entertainment Options

Let’s compare your choices:

Entertainment Type Setup Required Cost Interaction Level Clean-up
Face Painting Minimal Affordable High None
Clowns Medium Varies Medium None
Bounce House Large High Low Needs supervision
Magician Stage Space Medium-High Medium None

We’ll just say it… face painting wins in versatility, affordability, and joy-factor.
