hi mummies! were planning for my lo's 1st birthday... is it necessary to get a clown or magician? we dont want lo to be frightened of the loud noise & clown's scary face haha.. any insights? what activities can you suggest for older kids?

If u have more older kids, you try balloon sculpting, magician, face or hand painting. A DIY photobooth is great too, for memories. If you have lesser budget, you can get walking animals and give 1 each to the kids, even babies at 1 years+- like balloons too.
