Let us create a spectacular Birthday Party for you!
All parties are staffed by Child’s Play NY lead teachers – expert players and lovers of kids.
We staff all parties with a minimum of 2 teachers.
For parties of 16-21 kids we staff 3 teachers at an additional $75.
If you would like a live musician or someone to come in costume we can likely also accommodate that! Please just note on the form below.
We create parties for kids ages 3-11!
Our price for 75 minutes for up to 15 kids is $400.
The cost for 16-21 kids is $475, for 22-25 kids is $550.
As we add more customized elements the cost begins to vary.
We do our dramatic play and games for 75 minutes! If you’d like the teachers to be there for the the start of the party we can be – but we find that starting 15 minutes in generally works great!
Here is a sample schedule for a party from 1:00-3:00.
1:00-1:15 – Guests arrive and do a small craft that we suggest to you. This activity helps grounds kids and ties in the theme. It also is usually a better party favor and we even use them during our games. (Craft examples: super hero capes, decorated microphones, magical mirrors, etc)
1:15-2:30 – Child’s Play NY teachers inspire and delight with games and activities that make the party guests and the birthday kid super happy and engaged.
2:30-3:00 – You do food and cake and guests say good-bye!
We come to you! Our parties take place in your home, common room, favorite spot in the park or other space that you provide.
We are passionate about tapping into kids imagination and play and do not rely heavily on external toys or costumes. That said, we have plenty of easy crafts we can suggest for the first few minutes of the party that can then be used as a prop during our play time. Occasionally, we do make suggestions for props to have on hand for our games!
If you are not in NYC, you can make your own Child’s Play NY birthday party.

My son wanted a “super spies vs police” theme for his 6th birthday. I was desperately perplexed about how such a thing could be pulled off. And then I received an email from Child’s Play NY about their birthday party services! I had a solution! Jocelyn was lovely and professional as we talked about super spies vs police activities and she even took some time to speak with my son about his ideas. On the day of the party, the three teachers arrived punctually and took charge. The kids had a blast (and the parents had a chance to relax). I would highly recommend them for any themed birthday party!
Jocelyn and her team made my daughter’s 4th and 5th birthdays pure magic! From a Paw Patrol performance to a Monster Mash dance show, the kids were completely engaged, the teachers the MOST creative and interactive, and the birthday girl completely on cloud 9 from start to finish. Truly believe there is nothing like this company in NYC. Thank you so much to the Child’s Play team!
When I approached Jocelyn with my daughter’s request to “be in a Wonder Woman play” for her 4th birthday, Jocelyn knew exactly what to do! The Child’s Play teachers who came to our party were fun, great with kids, and unbelievably prepared with a thorough plan that engaged all the kids in a Wonder Woman play that blew everyone away– including my daughter! We all had a great time!
