Keeping Kids Safe in a Bounce House

From coast to coast, bounce houses have become a must-have item for any children’s party, fundraiser, street carnival, school festival, and business-sponsored event where kids will be present. They’re a fun amusement and taking appropriate precautions will ensure a safe time for everyone.

The most important element for bounce house safety is adult supervision. A bounce house should never be left unattended, even for a moment. It’s essential to limit the number of children that are using the bounce house at the same time, that children are all comparable in size, and that they’re using the bounce house appropriately.

Children should never enter an inflatable with shoes on. Keep all food and drink outside the bounce house and make sure youngsters don’t have any sharp object on them such as pens, pencils, keys and other items. When clients rent a bounce house from South Florida Bonce, an attendant can be provided at minimal cost to ensure safety.

Wind is the enemy of any inflatable structure, making it imperative that bounce houses are securely anchored. They should always be anchored to the ground. Bounce houses should never be erected where they’ll physically touch other objects.

The experts at South Florida Bounce provide experienced setup for bounce house rentals and all the required equipment. Clients simply need to provide an appropriately sized space clear of litter, debris and other hazards. Many individuals and companies purchase a bounce house for repeated usage. For those that do, it’s essential that all included instructions be followed to the letter to ensure safety.

A bounce house can provide children with hours of fun and healthy playtime. The critical element for ensuring safety is adult supervision. If there’s any doubt that an adult will be available at all times, hire an attendant.

Family Beach Essentials

Almost everyone has arrived for a day at the beach, only to discover they need something they didn’t pack or they’ve included a lot of unnecessary items. Parents are charged with remembering everything from sunscreen to toys, but they don’t have to be pack animals. With a few simple adjustments, parents can remember all the essentials, lighten their load, and have a relaxing day of sun and sand with the children.

A waterproof carryall bag should be the first thing on a beach-goer’s bucket list for every member of the family, even children. If a child wants to take sand toys to the beach, they need to carry it themselves in their own tote bag.

Sunscreen is an absolutely critical item for the beach. Be sure to have enough to apply multiple times and that it has a high SPF rating. Sunscreen will need to be reapplied frequently.

Make sure everyone has a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that block UVB and UVA rays that damage skin. To save money and keep everyone fed and hydrated, a rolling suitcase-style insulated cooler is a must-have.

No one wants to lounge on the beach unprotected from the heat radiating from the sand. A single large beach blanket will do the trick and they’re available in materials that won’t trap sand and makes cleaning a breeze. It’s also a good idea to have a compact beach towel in which to wrap a child that’s cold from being in the water. Parents may prefer a beach chair for lounging and they’re offered in lightweight models with convenient carry straps.

Umbrellas provide shade for adults and children, but they can be limited in scope and difficult to keep anchored in the sand. For younger children, a small, popup tent can be helpful for shielding youngsters from the sun.

It’s also a good idea to invest in a waterproof and sand proof bag for phones. It will ensure the devices are safe and are always ready if needed. A day at the beach is fun for everyone and it will be more enjoyable when families take the essentials and pare down the unnecessary items they take.

Walt Disney World

This is the first venue that people think of for a family vacation and most head to the Magic Kingdom.

8 Must-See Superhero Movies

Love Avengers Endgame? Here’s 8 Other Must-See Superhero Movies

The superhero movie genre is one of the biggest in Hollywood and it’s not just comic book fans that eagerly await each new release. They’re a good way to escape into a universe where the good guys win. They satisfy the needs and desires of people seeking social justice. They’re also just good fun.

Thor: Ragnarok

With the release of the film in 2017, fans were treated to a comic book superhero that was the embodiment of Norse mythology, amazing special effects, great music, and a rare helping of humor.

Blade

An oldie but a goodie, the film features Wesley Snipes as an ancient Dhampir that hunts down evil vampires to protect the human race. It was the first in a trilogy and its success provided motivation for Marvel’s following succession of superhero movies.

Aquaman

The 2018 movie stars handsome hunk, Jason Momoa, who must stop his evil brother, save Atlantis, and take his rightful place as ruler of the sea. The underwater world that was created for the film is stunning.

Host an End of the School Year Party with a Waterslide

The end of the school year means moms get to sleep in and kids are happy to see the end of homework for the next three months. To truly celebrate, try hosting an end of the school year party with an inflatable waterslide.

Kids of all ages love water slides and South Florida Bounce has more than 60 waterslides in multiple themes to accommodate youngsters of all ages. Kids don’t get all the fun, though, parents can use them, too. South Florida Bounce is the home of the “Hurricane,” a 40-foot tall water slide that’s the tallest free-standing water slide available.

It doesn’t matter whether youngsters are fans of pirates or superheroes, options are available to make anyone happy. Smaller, 13-foot water slides are offered for younger kids that allow them to have all the fun of the bigger slides. Individuals can choose a stand-alone water slide or create a complete wet and dry wonderland with bounce houses, obstacle courses, interactive games, and carnival games.

Water slides have become one of the most popular party features across the nation. They’re a great way to beat the heat and are especially welcome for homes without a pool. They provide all the fun of a waterpark outing without leaving the comfort of home.

They’re also a great way for kids to release all that pent up energy, tire them out while getting fresh air and exercise, and get them to take a break from electronic devices. Even better, parents can get in on the fun and spend quality bonding time with the kids.

The first waterslide was introduced in 1923 and was actually a water toboggan. Today’s fun seekers need only go as far their phone to book their South Florida Bounce inflatable waterslide for an end of school summer celebration party.
