Obstacle Courses Combine Challenge and Fun

Inflatable obstacle courses have become one of the most popular amusements for activities ranging from school fundraisers and corporate events to backyard home parties. They offer participants an experience that’s fun, challenging, and different elements can be combined to form unique opportunities. Individuals can choose from multiple themes to accommodate any interest.

Obstacle courses provide individuals with the opportunity to test themselves against others and awaken a sense of childlike wonder and fun.

K2 Cliffhanger

Military Challenge

Participants can jump, crawl and climb their way to victory during multiple activities sure to test the fortitude of anyone.

Radical Run

Kids Love Inflatables

There’s something inherently appealing about inflatables and they’re a must-have at any kid’s party. There are dozens of reasons to throw a children’s party, from birthdays to holiday celebrations. No matter what the occasion, there are inflatables to support interests and themes encompassing water parks to carnivals.

Inflatable Slides

Kids love to slide and both dry and water slides are available in multiple heights for age appropriate fun. Some can even be set up to deposit sliders into a backyard swimming pool for older kids. Inflatables have the advantage of being equally applicable for parties at home, schools, churches, and neighborhood block parties.

Bounce House

A bounce house is essential for any gathering that involves children. They’ve been entertaining kids for decades and are visually appealing with their bright colors and larger-than-life appearance. Bounce houses provide an environment that fosters imagination and kids can spend hours pretending they’re anyone from a pirate riding the high seas to an astronaut walking on the moon.

Inflatable Games

Inflatables encompass much more than slides and bounce houses. One of the most popular is inflatable obstacle courses. Inflatables run the gamut from rock climbing walls and corn mazes to sumo arenas, and jousting contests. Inflatable dart boards are available for foot darts, whack a mole, the basketball version of Connect Four, carnival game booths, and skee ball.

For older youngsters, there are Wild West themed inflatable ax throwing games utilizing specially designed ax pieces with VELCRO® brand fasteners to adhere to the target. Parents can choose 9-hole mini golf inflatables and those that incorporate giant hamster balls. Kids can kick and throw with inflatable football challenges, compete in interactive space arenas, and dance in a disco dome.

Inflatables make it easy to hold a party for kids of any age and keep them entertained for hours. The wide range of inflatable games, bounce houses and slides ensure there’s something to appeal to every age and interest.

Throw a Fun Fall Party

Children love everything about Halloween and it’s a favorite with adults. The popularity of Halloween is second only to Christmas. A fun fall party can satisfy the fun of Halloween and celebrate the autumn season with a multitude of activities. The following are just a few of the activities that can be utilized for the trendiest fall parties.

Pumpkins

The orange fruits can be carved or painted, depending upon the ages of the children. Some innovative party planners are holding parties during which youngsters decorate their pumpkins by using a hairdryer to melt crayons and letting the wax drip over them. Don’t try this without adult supervision. For an outdoor activity, try removing the stem from mini pumpkins and try pumpkin bowling.

Scarecrows

The traditional defenders of cornfields throughout the ages are also fun decorations to make. Stuffing a life size scarecrow isn’t necessary. Mini scarecrows and versions thereof can be constructed with jars filled with candy corn, craft sticks and Styrofoam, plastic flower pots, or even paper bags and crayons for the youngest scarecrow fans. Be sure to have accessories on hand for faces and other features.

Creepy Snacks

Almost everyone has heard about peeled grapes to imitate eyeballs, but there’s a myriad of ideas to try from a spider web cake decorated with plastic arachnids to frosted Rice Krispy treats that emulate ghosts. Add some green food coloring to create a batch of toxic mac and cheese or create edible hairy spider legs with breadsticks coated with parmesan cheese.

Bounce House

For easy and convenient fall party entertainment, consider a bounce house shaped like a pumpkin, castle or haunted house. They’re popular entertainments that can be combined with carnival games, interactive activities, virtual simulators, and fun food machines if desired.

Fun Options

All the activities designed for a fun fall party can be adjusted and scaled to accommodate multiple age groups, interest levels and budgets. Autumn and Halloween are synonymous with spooky fun and as the second most popular holiday, deserves a classic party to celebrate.

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.

Keep Your Pet Safe in the Florida Heat

Millions of people flock to Florida each year to spend time in the summer sun and they often bring their pets with them. What you may not realize is that the very warmth you seek can make your pet ill or even kill them if you don’t take appropriate precautions.

A majority of the pets that people take with them are dogs, but cats, birds, fish, ferrets and even pet pigs can experience heat exhaustion and death if left in a car, truck or motorhome for even a short length of time on a mildly warm or humid day.

Animals don’t sweat – they can only pant to cool themselves off. Vehicle temperatures can elevate by 20 degrees in just 10 minutes and increase exponentially. Leaving a window cracked doesn’t help and can actually exacerbate the situation. The following tips will help keep your pet safe in the Florida heat.

  • Never leave an animal in a parked car, even for 5 minutes
  • Don’t walk pets on paved surfaces or on hot beach sand – it burns their feet
  • Avoid walks and playtime during the warmest and most humid parts of the day
  • For pets with medical or breed-related conditions, be aware that even a short walk can endanger them
  • Always make sure your pet has a sufficient supply of fresh clean water, plenty of shade and a non-paved place to rest
  • Provide your pet with access to air conditioning – they need it even more than you do
  • A hair trim is fine to help your pet in the heat, but never shave them – they’ll sunburn
  • Regular grooming can help pets shed loose hair that can contribute to overheating
  • If you see a pet trapped in a vehicle on a hot day, notify authorities and stay there until help arrives

Humidity adversely affects pets as much as heat and Florida experiences its share of both. The danger increases when the two are combined. You and your pet can enjoy your sojourn in Florida by taking appropriate precautions to keep them safe and factoring in the weather conditions for the time of year you visit.
