January 28, 2026Wonderful addition to our family event
What a wonderful time our family had with the addition of the balloon, twisting and the face painting the kids were little and most of them really enjoyed it and loved the balloons. Even the adults took part. We will use these services again!!

October 11, 2021Best in the Business!
If you are looking for a face painter and/or balloon artist, you will not find one better than Lib's Lab. She showed up early, brought and setup her own tent and equipment, and was an absolute delight to talk to. There are other face painters out there, but they will not do anywhere near the quality of job that you will get from her. The faces were amazing, the balloon art she made was truly amazing and I cannot recommend her enough!

About
Welcome!
Let me introduce myself! I am Jean Lewis, owner of Lib's Lab Family Entertainment. I have been working with my husband in children's ministry for over 30 years and loving every minute of it! Our love for working with children began when our own kids were small! We got ahold of our first puppets, created their characters, and the laughter we came up with, well, it was really good for the heart! It was SO much fun in fact, that we realized, hey, this is where we belong- with kids! Over the years, we've had so much enjoyment from puppets, face painting, silly skits, singing, gospel presentations, balloon twisting and foreign mission trips, all the while gaining valuable experience for interacting with and training up the next generation! We've also picked up like-minded friends along the way!
In 2008, wanting to create my own business to supplement our family income, I took it to the Lord in prayer, asking for a 'download', from heaven's" idea zone" so to speak :) The business would have to be a fun platform where kids' lives could be impacted by love, encouragement, exhortation and comfort. Weird, but I got the old Beatles' tune playing over and over in my head relentlessly: "Let It Be, Let It Be". Hubby interrupted my train of thought with a cup of coffee and I shared the craziness with him. After musing a bit, he replied," Hmmm, 'Let. It. Be. So.', like, speaking good to come into the kids' lives..." BINGO! I saw myself dressed in a white lab coat with electric blue hair creating things in the "laboratory" of my mind to bless kids! Thus," Libby" the lab technician was born, who creates good things for kids in her 'laboratory'!
Since that day, Libby and her friends have been focused on providing you, the client, with the best professional entertainment for any event, both corporate and private! Just imagine the possibilities!

Influences and inspiration
Kids are our passion! We've been involved in children's ministry for over 30 years when we picked up our first puppets!
Personally, I have to thank my mom for encouraging me in the arts. From the time I was taking private art lessons at 11 years old, I've worked with all kinds of mediums from oils, acrylics,and watercolors, to creating edible masterpieces such as wedding and birthday cakes!
I was encouraged by a good friend in the 80s, Celia "CiCi the Clown" Wright, to try painting on a different canvas- kids' faces- with Mehron brand face paints. What fun! Then she influenced me to try twisting balloons, teaching me the basics! I loved it, and the rest is history!
Setup requirements
Just add kids of any age!
Testimonials
Bueno el birthday party de Solanyi. Estuvo super. Gracias porque tiene el don de tartar a los ninos. Me gusto su sencilles y carismatica con la que trata a los demas y claro que la recordaremos para nuestros futuros eventos. Los comentarios de las personas que asistieron al evento fue porque no estaba disfrazada de payaso con peluca y maquillaje. A nosotros en lo personal nos encanto el show.
– Margarita Portillo

– Good View Elementary School
I was very pleased with Lib's Lab and plan on hiring her again. All the kids, teenagers and adults really enjoyed having her there. She is really talented and does a wonderful job and is very patient with the kids while face painting. Thanks for everything!
– Sonya Reed
I love Lib's Lab! Jean Lewis came as Lib to my son's birthday party last year. Lib was a zany character dressed in a white lab coat and had bright blue hair. Immediately the children were mesmerized by her personality. She told them a story and made the most wonderful balloon creations you have ever seen! This year she came as Sunshine. Sunshine is a bright and cheerful clown dressed in a yellow jumper and colorful socks. Once again the children were drawn to her magic and parents were amazed! This time the children-AND some parents too- were face painted. These faces were some of the most beautiful and detailed pieces of art I have ever seen! Sunshine finished up with her balloon creations. I recommend Libs Lab to everyone! She creates a fun and inviting atmosphere. Her prices are always fair and best of all, she doesn't leave until every child is satisfied! Thank you, Libs Lab!
