Since 1991, Buttons the clown does balloon twisting, magic, parties, games, humorous daycare/senior shows and deliveries. Costumed characters include Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, a bunny or a tiger. For no costume, makeup or wig, she would be The Balloon Lady, doing any of the mentioned activities.
Buttons the Clown was a great addition for our company picnic. She was non-stop for 2 hours doing balloon figures for our large group.
Played games, did tricks and kept them entertained! Thank you!
Buttons was the BIGGEST hit of my party! She proved that not just kids enjoy balloon art as it was for my High School Graduation Party! She just gave my party that spark it needed and she didn’t such an amazing job! BOOK BUTTONS!
Response from Buttons the Clown:
It was so fun to be around so many happy people. I didn't stop for 2 hours, as they wanted the balloon hats, animals and things. Turtles and swords were the most popular. I taught at this school for one year many many years ago and was so happy to be around them. A well-done party, Ethan.
p.s I'm sure that was a typo when he said "she DIDN'T such an amazing job." :)
All the kids loved her and her work
Response from Buttons the Clown:
the kids were delightful and eager to participate. The grownups were very friendly. It was a very enjoyable event.
We had her for my son’s birthday party and it was absolutely wonderful! She was on time and was bery good with kids.
Thank you Buttons!!!
Kids had a great time !!
She kept everyone focused. Even the 8 month old. Thank you so much! Birthday girl will want this every year.
Response from Buttons the Clown:
I am grateful for the review, as the reactions were hard to feel - a very quiet group of people. They were very helpful in getting all my stuff to and from my car. The birthday girl was so cute and very participatory;
I do have to report, though, that Gig Salad gave me the wrong address. It was 3rd St., not 4th St.
We recently had Buttons the Clown do balloon twisting for our Kid's Christmas Party and she was wonderful. We ended up having around 130 children attend the party and Buttons was able to get everyone a balloon that wanted one. Buttons was very professional and the kids enjoyed the balloon twisting. Would recommend her for your event.
After some navigational issues, Buttons the clown delivered a great show the kids liked. She kept them well entertained.
Response from Buttons the Clown:
Thank you, Sven. Little did I know that Moore Park and Moore Memorial Park were two different places. It's hard to compete with playground equipment, but those who participated were very responsive. BTW, I had no problem getting back to Des Moines.
While not energetic or fully engaging to audience - can provide basic balloon animals and did 2 magic tricks.
Response from Buttons the Clown:
I am very disappointed in the review. The hostess was seldom in my company. The family that was, seemed very satisfied, especially with the tricks. I made all the grown ups a balloon creation of their choice, as well as the 3 children. Because of the time restriction, I told her in advance that the balloons would be simple choices.to working dressed as a clown, where I would be more outgoing, but the hostess didn't want me The party was for her dog, and I even wrote a poem for him. They were all the nicest people to work with, so I didn't expect this response.
Buttons the Clown attended our event as the Balloon Lady. She was fantastic!
Response from Buttons the Clown:
I am so grateful for your endorsement. I truly enjoyed myself and your wonderful townspeople. Thanks again for choosing me.
