Planning any kind of gathering presents a variety of difficulties that can be remedied with a call to a local company that rents inflatables. The businesses are an excellent one stop resource for everything from bounce houses, water slides and fun food machines to tents, tables and chairs. The companies offer affordable pricing and provide an ideal way to ensure everyone has food, entertainment and seating for any event. Entertainments Inflatables run the gamut from the ever-popular water slide to bounce houses for younger guests. Attendees can indulge in interactive sports and sci-fi experiences to bull riding and an impromptu dance party for teens. Individuals can play life-size board games, try their hand at an obstacle course or engage in a sumo wrestling challenge. Games Inflatable rental companies also have a variety of carnival-type games. Hosts can choose from balloon pop, basketball throw and tic-tac-toe to ring toss, whack-a-mole and skee ball. Booths are available to create a fun atmosphere. Inflatable rentals are equally appropriate for a backyard party, corporate event, or a church or school fundraiser. Food It’s not truly a party without food – guests burn a lot of energy playing games. Fun food machines can be rented that are easy, convenient and keep guests fed. They include hotdog broilers and bun warmers, along with those to make popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy and to dispense pucker powder candy. Amenities One of the most overlooked details is providing sufficient amenities for guests that includes tables and chairs where people can eat, rest and converse. Inflatable rentals offer adult and child-size chairs, traditional rectangular and circular tables, along with cocktail tables. Tents are another overlooked item when planning a gathering. The South Florida heat and humidity can be overwhelming, particularly if guests are moving around playing games and having fun. Tent rentals are available, providing an essential place for adults and children to savor some shade while resting and rehydrating.

What Age is Good for Bounce Houses

March 20, 2023 sfbadmin

The short answer is that bounce houses are appropriate for ages 6 to 12 for safe and supervised playtime. No child under the age of 6 should be allowed to play in a bounce house unsupervised. They don’t have the coordination or motor skills to remain upright or right themselves when they fall. Bounce houses transfer motion easily and that can knock small children off their feet. Supervision There are some important factors to consider for anyone thinking of purchasing a consumer bounce house or renting an inflatable for a child’s party. The amusements aren’t something that can be set up and left alone while children play. A responsible adult will need to be in attendance to supervise anytime a child is using the inflatable. The potential for an injury always exists. Set Up Equally important is the location where the entertainment will be located. The place where the bounce house sets will need to be away from utility lines, fences and structures to prevent injuries to children. To ensure the integrity of the bounce house is maintained, the location must be free of rocks, sticks, sprinkler heads, fences, structures, and overhanging branches. Never use a bounce house outdoors in storms or winds strong enough to blow dust and dirt around. Affordable Entertainment A bounce house provides affordable entertainment for children ages 6 to 12 that won’t break the bank. They’re a great way for youngsters to play and get beneficial exercise for strong bones and muscles.

Can I Put My Bounce House on Grass, Cement or Gravel

February 19, 2023 sfbadmin

Bounce houses are one of the most popular inflatable rentals for children ages 6 to 12. If you’re considering renting one of the amusements, there are some things to keep in mind, especially placement. Surface Grass is the preferred surface for a bounce house, but the entertainments can also be set up on cement or concrete – providing the surface is smooth. The inflatables can be placed on smooth gravel, but it’s not a good idea in terms of child safety. Even asphalt is acceptable, providing it’s in the shade. Asphalt can reach temperatures of 125° F. on a 75-degree day, posing a danger to children and the inflatable. Bounce houses should never be placed near water or on a slope. Obstacles Safety should lead the way when setting up a bounce house. Make sure the ground where the bounce house will set is free of sticks, rocks and other sharp objects such as sprinkler heads. Never place a bounce house near power lines or other utilities, fences, structures, or low hanging branches. Keep in mind that children often stumble when they exit a bounce house and can fall. There should be ample space on all sides of the bounce house that’s clear of any objects that youngsters may potentially fall on. Bounce House Supervision Your bounce house rental will provide hours of fun for youngsters, but children should never be left alone in the amusement. You’re going to need a responsible adult to supervise usage for safety. Only children age 6 to 12 should be allowed in a bounce house. Youngsters under the age of 6 don’t have the coordination, strength or balance to right themselves if they fall. The adult will also need to ensure that children remove their shoes, jewelry and glasses before entering and don’t have any sharp objects in their pockets that could puncture the bounce house. Take care to limit the number of children using it at one time and ensure that youngsters of the same height, weight and build use the device at the same time. The ripples created by jumping can knock smaller children off their feet and lead to injury.

5 Life Hacks to Use for Raising Kids

August 21, 2017 sfbadmin

South Florida Bounce Parent’s Corner We all need a little advice from time to time, and if you’re a parent, you probably need it more often. As you know, kids are tricky little devils and need attention, life lessons and guidance through it all. In this week’s South Florida Bounce Parent’s Corner, we uncover a few of life’s hacks ideal for the journey. So, get your favorite beverage and read on! 1st At the end of every school year, write your child a letter and put it inside of an envelope. Include $20-50 and then seal it up and keep it in a safety box with a lock. When your child is 18, think of how much fun they’ll have when reading the letters as well as getting an excellent graduation gift! 2nd Get your kids to eat a healthy diet by promoting organic vegetables and fruit arranged to make funny faces, little houses or anything else your creative mind can conjure. 3rd Throw a pajama party once a month and host it in your living room campground. Help your kids and their guests construct cool looking tents out of blankets, sheets, and chairs. Don’t forget to string the interiors with white lights found at the dollar and craft stores. Make it educational by making it a book party and promote reading with friends. 4th Download apps such as bSafe if your child has his or her cell phone. While we don’t recommend all apps work the same, this is one that offers some nice features. Not only does it track your child’s whereabouts it also takes video recording when pushing the distress button which also acts as a siren. A ‘must have’ when kids are at the mall or hanging out with friends. 5th Teach children manners, you’ll be glad you did. Not only is it important for children to grow up understanding rules and to abide by moral values such as being kind and polite, but it’s also right for home. Kids who are taught respect, discipline and being selfless can go along the way for the rest of the family. These are a few life hacks that can help make life more pleasant for both you and your child. Practice every day finding some improvement. At the end of the year, you’ll have less stress and anxiety, and your kids will learn valuable lessons.

Parenting by Example: Imagination, Creativity, & Relaxation

June 28, 2017 sfbadmin

When children grow up in a world that is full of electronics and other distractions it can be difficult for them to use their imagination. As parents, we need to encourage our kids in thinking outside of their current surroundings to explore other avenues. Let’s face it, without imagination and creativity, the world would be a much grimmer existence. You’re job as the mom or dad is to give your kids the green light to use their imaginations. Here’s how you do just that. First, if you’re a busy parent like most of us, take the time out to explore your own imagination. Meditate, daydream or just lie quietly with eyes closed and erase all day to day stress. Encourage the kids to try this as well. Everyone can benefit from a little quiet time. Allow new thoughts to come in and old ones to move out. Think of nature, taking a ride on your bike or even planting a garden. The point here is to allow your mind to be free enough to get your imagination flowing. Next, set a good example. We are just as guilty of spending too much time on our devices. Kids notice this. Make a rule to take a break from all electronic devices for a period each day. That includes you! Since we spend way too much time looking at Facebook and email, and a plethora of other interrupting activity, it’s hard to come out with a clear mind. By learning to go without, you’ll be gaining within. Other than distractions caused by mobile devices, iPads and the like, try to avoid anything that makes you anxious. Anxiety can cloud your imagination making things impossible to flow gently in and out. You can avoid this type of mind boggle, by putting on some old music or just jotting down what comes to your mind. The trick here is to quiet the anxiousness and fill up your mind with new and interesting thoughts. No room for worry here. Besides letting go of restlessness, take the time to try new things. Whether you explore a new food or a different way to do your hair, the idea here is to just do it! Let your kids see the excitement in you when you try something new. If you don’t like it or fail, laugh it off and show the kids that it’s okay. Embrace these teachable moments. How can you teach your kids to develop creative and adventurous minds if you don’t know how to first? Now that you know the secrets to sparking your own imagination, try these things on your kids.

Creating Great Childhood Memories with these South Florida Bounce Ideas

June 28, 2017 sfbadmin

While we all like to take a walk down memory lane, today’s families seem to be striving for the time, more than creating a lifetime of family history that will never fade. Since we are all struggling with the day to day operations of life, it may seem a bit daunting to take a moment and remember what childhood is, as a non-perishable time of laughter and smiles. In this week’s blog, we help you re-create some of those childhood memories, South Florida Bounce style! First, living in the moment is one of the best aspects life can offer us. Remember to put down your cell phones and pay attention to those around you. Have a pillow fight, bake some cookies, go to a movie together. Whatever the case may entail, be sure to take the time to stop and enjoy. Technology is a necessary evil, but you have the power to combat using that time that could be spent with your treasure of your kids. Next, after snapping a bunch of pics with your cell phone, download them and get them prints made at a local Walmart and make a scrapbook. While it’s certainly nice to keep a collection of photos on your phone, scrapbooking can be special because you can make it a family activity. Make that weekend getaway into a coffee table scrapbook that will spark conversations with friends and loved ones. In addition to the scrapbooking and putting down that mobile device, why not have some fun with an old time favorite activity? Build a fort in your living room with blankets, chairs, and pillows. Follow up with a flashlight and telling some ghost stories over some warm buttered popcorn. It’s not about the money you spend it’s about the time that will make your kids remember what a great family they have. Why not go retro and break out some vintage board games. Make it a theme and encourage kids of all ages to embrace it. Your child will have just as much fun playing a game of Mousetrap as they would be burning up their video cards on X-box. Make it fun, change the rules, get creative and laugh! Who knows, they may find the old-school way to be more intriguing. The point here is to help you bring back some old school family fun and build new memories for you to keep forever. Disconnect from the devices and reconnect with some good old fashioned fun. Don’t forget to contact us if you’d like to organize your next family events such as a reunion or party.

June 20, 2017 sfbadmin

But, for another child, it may be a bit more challenging. We’ve compiled a list of some of the hottest gift ideas for both boys and girls that might give you some grand ideas and look like a complete hero. Girls 4-6 Pull up any Walmart or Target ad and your choices are overwhelming. However, some of the hottest trends you’ll find for girls between the ages of 4-6 is are Shopkins and anything from Disney’s movie “Frozen.” One tip to keep in mind is to contact the parents before purchasing these items since there may be a good chance they’ve already got them. Also, either one of these brands does offer a wide selection with this theme. Any young girl will be dazzled when opening these gifts as they are two of the biggest toys to sell this summer. Girls 8-11 It seems like girls in the age category enjoy crafting. Bead kits can be found on places like Amazon, or your local craft store like Michaels. You really can’t go wrong with this type of gift at this age, as young girls enjoy working with their hands. Girls 12-16 This age group is a bit trickier as this is also the time where gifts become pricey. If you’re looking to get a gift for a girl between 12-16, think about gift cards. Gift cards are always a good selection because the kid can buy what they want. Boys 4-6 Kids between the age of 4-6 are practicing things like hand to eye coordination as well as their motor skills. These children tend to enjoy working with their hands and building things. Lego Blocks, toys with gears or pieces where they must think and make are most enjoyed. Another idea for your consideration is drawing or painting kits. Children of all ages love to be artistic, and at this age, their minds are free to imagine and explore. Art Boxes tend to be great presents for both boys and girls in this age category. Boys 8-11 These little tikes are more advanced than the other the post-toddlers. They enjoy sports, video gaming and a variety of other activities. The key word is ‘active.’ This year we’ve seen many kids wanting Drones and Quadcopters to fly around. Although it’s a great gift, you may want to check with the parents as these toys can sometimes cause a problem. Boys 12-16 This age group presents a little more challenge. But, one item that is flying off the shelves is GeekerCity’s Mini Flying RC Drone. This cool gadget changes colors, and it’s safe to use. The price point is excellent too under $20.

Plan Your Party at a Local South Florida Park

May 30, 2017 sfbadmin

When it comes to South Florida, one thing you can bet on is there are a plethora of parks to plan your next party. There’s more than enough of these natural jewels are filled with tropical brush, lots of wildlife and of course plenty of acreages to set up even the biggest events. Planning your party is important especially if you project throwing your celebration outdoors. Here are some tips for you to consider if you are expected to organize at one of the many national parks nature centers. The first thing you’ll want to do is reserve a pavilion if you plan on hosting a large enough party. Not all parks have pavilions which can make things challenging. Give yourself ample time to locate one of these structures as they tend to get booked very fast. In most cases, there is a cost associated and the fees can vary from park to park. Next, plan your menu with the idea the food should not carry dairy or anything that can quickly spoil in hot temperatures. Many of the caterers will supply the correct equipment to keep food cold or hot. Be sure to plan accordingly for both grilling’s. Some parks will not allow outside grills so to be sure to call ahead of time. Once you’ve secured the locations and planned the food, be sure to pay attention to signs for predators. It seems strange to mention such a thing, but we should remember safety first. Snakes and alligators are present in most of the places where these natural parks are built so take the extra precaution necessary to keep friends and family safe. In addition to the elements at the park, don’t forget to check the weather. We Floridians understand weather can change quickly and we must remember to take care. Be sure there are solid structures or leave the party if it becomes threatening with things like lightning. Besides the weather, animals and your planning, remember to keep America beautiful and always clean up afterward. While there’s plenty of trash cans and other devices that will help you, do not forget to bring a few extra trash bags and leave the park like it was when you got there. Don’t forget; we’ve got the best selection of bounce houses and obstacle courses ideal for park settings. We’ll be happy to assist you with the planning. Be sure to contact us for any further questions on making your visit at the park and planning your gathering a success.
