The best festivals in Delaware and Maryland (Dover Days, Sea Witch, Harrington Heritage Day, Rock Hall, and more) have one thing in common: Kris & Holly balloon twisting. We can be the biggest attraction at your next event too!
Kris & Holly features two of the best balloon twisters in the region, incredible and imaginative designs, line management, and the delightful interaction Kris & Holly has become famous for.
Our balloon twisting is an affordable and exciting addition to your festival, corporate event, or birthday party. It's fun for all ages (c'mon, you know you want a balloon octopus), and you'll want us back each year.
Prepare to be mystified and astounded as Holly Gander performs one of the best magic shows in the region. A Kris & Holly magic show features illusions, audience participation, and so much more. Puppets, balloons, and more surprises highlight every 30-minute performance. It's an incredible experience for children of all ages.
Bring Holly (and her lovely assistant Kris) to your next party or event! You can book individual shows or combine a Kris & Holly magic show with our famous balloon twisting for a great discounted package.
We're Kris & Holly, and the magic is most definitely here.
If you visit any of Delaware's most popular festivals and find yourself regaled with a chorus of children squeezing rubber chickens while a friendly clown plays a kazoo/ukelele hybrid to the Star Wars opening theme, you've encountered Snippy Doodles the Clown.

At Kris & Holly, we realize that many children are not even aware who Mother Goose is. So we created a show that introduces children to some of the legendary nursery rhymes we all enjoyed. And we present them in a fun an exciting way that all ages can enjoy.
Holly Gander's Magical Mother Goose show features puppets, magic, and surprises that make Little Miss Muffet (with a GIANT spider), Humpty Dumpty (quite the daredevil), and more nursery rhymes come alive. And while it's designed for 3-8 year olds, it's a fun and engaging show all ages will enjoy.
Add Kris & Holly's popular Mother Goose show to your schedule of events. It's the perfect addition to any school, library or daycare center's event calendar.
Holly Gander has agreed to create a museum of color at the request of the nation of Dodovania! But oh no, all the art is missing! It's up to the children of the audience to create drawings and balloon sculptures to fill the museum before Mayzie the Dodo arrives!
Kris & Holly and the Museum of Lost Colors is our new show supporting the CSLP "Color Our World" theme. This show teaches about color and the power of art (both as the artist and the viewer). And we do it through Kris & Holly's unique combination of original songs, puppetry, magic, and lots of audience participation.
Kris & Holly and the Museum of Lost Colors is available both during and after the 2025 Summer Reading Program. Book this amazing show today!
Our original literacy-focused show is one of our most asked for programs. Heavily influenced by the works and style of Dr. Seuss, "I Love to Read" combines original songs, magic, puppets, and more. Holly Gander inspires the joy of getting lost in a really good book, along with her friends Mayzie and Pogo.
Kris & Holly's "I Love to Read" show is available throughout the year and is perfect for daycare, school and library event schedules.
Kris & Holly participates in many public events throughout Delaware and Maryland, and we'd love to have you join the fun. Whether it's balloon twisting at a festival, performing one of our shows, or creating magic as the Clauses, there's something we offer for every family.
Hi everyone, I'm Cocoa, Kris & Holly's roommate. A little about me? I'm a 2-year old shitzu/Bichon Friese mix with a rich history of circus performing in my family. I've learned so much from Kris & Holly (jumping through hoops, dancing, managing a blog), and I'm eager to share all of our adventures with you. If you have any questions, let us know!
