Just Clowning Around: Costume, Balloon & Party Supply Store

Last updated February 2026

Just Clowning Around operates as both a party supply store and face painting service from its upstairs location on Altree Court in Phillip. The store stocks costumes, balloons, and party decorations while offering professional face painting services for children's events and parties. Located in the Woden Town Centre area, it serves Canberra's southern suburbs with both retail supplies and entertainment services. The face painters work with quality paints and offer designs ranging from simple butterflies and superheroes to more elaborate full-face transformations. **What to Bring** Wet wipes for cleanup afterward. Hair ties to keep hair away from the face during painting. Camera to capture the finished designs. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 3-10 years old when children are most excited about face painting and can sit still long enough for detailed designs. **Good to Know** Bookings recommended for face painting services, especially on weekends. Located upstairs so not suitable for prams without lift access. Parking available in the Woden Plaza shopping centre. Face painting typically takes 5-15 minutes per child depending on design complexity. **Tips From Other Parents** Book face painting well ahead for weekend parties as they get busy during birthday season. Let the paint dry completely before touching - it takes about 10 minutes. Simple designs work better for younger children who might get fidgety.
