🎓🎂 Turning FIVE is a pretty big deal! 🎂🎓

I’ve been really enjoying bringing my colourful HanAhrt fun to pre-schools for birthdays and graduations with face painting, balloon twisting and fun character appearances for those very special celebrations where a little one is turning five AND graduating from pre-school at the same time! 🌈✨

It’s such a great way to celebrate a huge milestone with all their pre-school friends and favourite teachers!

And then, once the exciting pre-school celebrations are over, you can have a more intimate family dinner or celebration at home. The best of both worlds! 🎉

Your little one gets to celebrate with all their friends, without you having to stress about planning a whole separate party, organising the guest list or wondering who to invite because all their friends are already there!

I love being able to turn their special day at kindy or daycare into a colourful little celebration, with fun, creativity and plenty of smiles along the way!

Whether it’s face painting, balloon twisting (I can even ride in on a dinosaur or unicorn while I twist balloons! 🦄🦖), a special visit from one of our 30+ characters, or any mixture of HanAhrt experiences, it’s such a lovely way to celebrate everything they’ve achieved together before they head off on their next big adventure. 🎒✨

If you’re a parent/caregiver, early childhood centre, kindergarten or preschool and you’d love to organise something special for a child’s next birthday, graduation or any other celebration at your centre, I’d love to hear from you!

🎄 With the end of the year coming up, I’m also starting to look ahead to Christmas and end-of-year celebrations, so if you’re thinking about having HanAhrt join your celebration, now is a great time to get in touch and secure your preferred time and date.

🦌🎅We have some fun new Christmas-themed characters and can also bring along themed balloon twisting & face painting design boards to help your event really embrace the silly season!

Bookings from $100 per hour, ask me for a full services & price list!

💌 Send me a message to chat about your next celebration!

📚BOOK WEEK IS AUGUST 15TH-21ST✨
Tell me your favorite book characters you would love to see made into balloons in the comments below!

🐻Winnie the Pooh has arrived at the library!🍯

With Book Week coming up, I’ve been having a little fun behind the scenes creating some book-themed character balloon creations!

This sweet Winnie the Pooh balloon bouquet was recently gifted to Te Whata o Kaituna, South Dunedin Community Library and I think Pooh is looking rather at home amongst all their beautiful books!

I’ve been experimenting with different book and storybook characters in balloon form, and as usual, I’ve got plenty more ideas bouncing around my head!

If you’d like to brighten up a library, school, book-themed event or gift a Balloon Boquet for a birthday, baby shower, leaving/teacher gift or any kind of special occasion - get in touch! I would love to create one for you to any theme of your choice!

Custom balloon bouquets available for Dunedin & surrounding areas. (Can deliver anywhere if travel costs are covered)
Happy to personally deliver with hand written card anywhere within Dunedin, you are also welcome to collect from me!
Contact me to book a special creation ✨

FYI- This year's Book Week theme is "Reading Around Aotearoa"

I had a little unexpected fangirl moment over Stardust the other day… 🤣👽🛸

I popped into town to post some of my HanAhrt fire prop orders and happened to glance over at the newspaper stand…

There was Stardust the Alien sitting proudly on the front page of the Low Down paper for the South Dunedin Street Festival !

Without even thinking I blurted out, “Oh my gosh… it’s Stardust the Alien!” 😂

The lovely lady behind the counter looked just a little confused. I think she thought I was talking to her for a second! 🤭

It honestly never gets old seeing my HanAhrt characters popping up in newspapers, online and all around. It’s such a surreal and incredibly special feeling.

🫧🦖✨…Then to top it all off, I spotted Chompy the Dinosaur featured on Fortify Events NZ page today too!

It seems my HanAhrt characters really have been getting around lately!

The South Dunedin Street Festival has become one of my absolute favourite events on the Dunedin calendar. It celebrates everything that makes our city so special. Local artists, musicians, performers, makers, crafters, delicious food, community groups, creativity and thousands of people all coming together showing off some incredible local team work for a truly magical day!!

The atmosphere is always buzzing, the community support is amazing, and it’s one of those events that leaves you smiling all day.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making it happen. I’m already counting down until next year’s festival and can’t wait to see you all there and what creative adventures it brings! 💜🎨✨
