Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Children will gain knowledge in another form of performing. I think that some children may be afraid of Buster the Clown at first, mostly because they aren't exposed to clowns very often. I hope this program will change their feelings. Participant evaluation/surveys were collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The children weren't afraid of the clown. They learned the following:

The ability to laugh at yourself when you make mistakes.
A new chicken joke.
Magic.
A baby was exposed to colors, numbers and shapes.
"Super fun, had a good time."
"Great! I learned that I am qualified to do magic!"
