Introduction
Your carnival in a box! Custom Crafted Creatures and Games Galore! Pro-freedom and special needs friendly! Balloon animals? How about something more unique? I make a balloon animal alternative out of pipecleaners that kids love a thousand times more. They get mythical creatures, animals, characters and monsters, that all foster creativity. My kids' craft activities are more popular than the bouncy castle, and even the Lego workshop at Comicon. A larger custom order creature for the birthday child is included in every 3 hour or longer booking, or can be purchased separately for shorter bookings. I also offer larger custom creatures for party attendants. In addition, I also have designed craft kits of several of my creatures, for sale as party favors. My long-lasting alternative to balloon animals teaches a child to build things they can play with! And I will teach them how to make my designs if you or they like. Make your party or event stand out and bring out the creativity of children through arts and crafts. Not only can arts and crafts be fun, but therapeutic as well! The skills learned through arts and crafts can help children with their cognitive, emotional, social and sensory-motor development. I also have developed a game that kids can play with the pipecleaner creatures that either I make, or they make themselves. There is a short version and long one, depending on attention span. "A History of Games" I also have a carnival arcade's worth of indoor, outdoor, and arcade games. They span the range from old school carnie to 80's arcade, to give an experience most kids have never had, and adults the retro nostalgia that calls to the "kid at heart". I have gone to great lengths to curate a version of every carnival style game, and many your child hasn't even heard of. I have choices that can fit your living room, basement, garage, or backyard. All have been play tested for popularity and enjoyment, and great fun for kids of all ages.

I was very impressed with Play it Funward, they were on time, showed compassion towards the event that I was hosting and had so many options available to choose from. Very professional and the Bus with all the games is the state of the art entertainment.

He showed up early and was set up and ready to go well in advance. Kids loved the yard games as well! We had a slight mix up and had to move his set up and he was professional and rolled with it which was greatly appreciated! All ages loved the animal creations and they can be kept forever!

We worked with Devin to provide entertainment at a block party. The kids loved it and loved that they got to keep something after the party. We would definitely work with Devin again!
