If you're not sure what type of kids party entertainment is appropriate for your child's age group, some recommendations are as follows:

	0 to 2 year olds - babies and toddlers are generally too young for structured birthday games and are happy playing with whatever toys you have or playground equipment.
	3 to 4 year olds - free play, playgrounds in parks, simple & traditional kids party games & craft activities (without prizes), jumping castles, kids party entertainers that do things like face painting and balloon sculptures.
	5 to 8 year olds - structured and active kids party games & craft activities (with prizes), jumping castles, face painting, ponies, clowns, fairies & other kids party entertainers.
	8+ - structured and competitive kids party games & craft activities, disco parties, makeover parties, slumber parties, lasertag parties

Tips for keeping kids entertained:

Play kids party games that involve all the kids at once - especially when there is a large group so they are not standing around waiting for their turn at something.
Don't give them too much to do - if you have a face painter and a jumping castle, or have a party in a park with distractions like playground equipment, trying to make the kids then play party games is going to be challenging. It's best to choose just one form of entertainment.
Most kids enjoy time to just play with each other so don't be too stressed about keeping them entertained the whole time. By all means have a format for the party which keeps them busy and engaged (and helps you be organised!) but also allows them to have a break to just socialise - e.g. have snacks for them to help themselves to when they arrive & something to do when they arrive such as tattoos or an art/craft activity (leave the presents for opening at the end), play active games and activities, have a break for food/drinks, do quieter games/activities/craft, then do the birthday cake at the end.
