Most children's entertainers tailor their shows to suit specific age groups, typically ranging from toddlers through to children aged 12. Some performers offer different packages for younger children (ages 2 to 5) and older children (ages 6 to 12). It is worth checking each entertainer's profile for the age range they specialise in.

Many entertainers combine several of these elements into a single package.
