4 Things Kids Love at a Party

Kids love parties and everyone wants their child’s party to be a memorable occasion. While kids love games, it’s not always the best option for very young children that don’t understand the concept of only the winners receive a prize. There are other ways to ensure everyone has a good time and the following are four things that every kid loves at a party.

Animals

South Florida is home to a variety of zoos and conservancies that hold educational sessions where youngsters can see wildlife and exotic animals up close, while remaining completely safe. There are also numerous companies and organizations that will bring a petting zoo of popular farm animals to homes. Always be sure to research private companies to ensure animals are treated humanely and ethically and appropriate safety precautions are observed.

Bounce House

An inflatable bounce house will keep youngsters so occupied they may not want to come out for ice cream and cake. While stand-alone bounce houses are available, they’ve also evolved. Bounce houses are offered for toddlers to those with light and sound systems appropriate for tweens. Some are also equipped with inflatable animals to play with and basketball hoops. There are models to match any interest or party theme.

Magician

Magic is universally mesmerizing and entertaining for all ages. It’s important to seek a magician that specializes in magic for the appropriate age group. The same slight-of-hand that will awe a five-year-old won’t necessarily find favor with a 12-year-old. It’s a good idea for individuals to look for videos of the magicians they’re considering, obtain a background check, and find out if they’re insured. Look for someone that has been in business for several years.

Waterslide

Kids love slides and water – put them together and it’s a winning combination. Best for older youngsters, there are water slides of varying heights and individuals can also choose 40 ft. monster water slides with one or two lanes for double the fun. The slides can be used as stand-alone amusements and for those with a home swimming pool, some can be set up to deposit guests directly into the pool.

Trending in Travel: Family Adventure Trips

In the not too distant past, family trips were taken once a year as a vacation. Reservations were booked at a specific resort each year and the activity typically involved a road trip cross country. For families of today, life is something to be experienced to the fullest through adventure trips.

Family adventure trips are No. 1 on the list of things to do for families across the nation and it’s not just the young and daring. Travel trips are multi-generational events that include children, parents, and grandparents. In some instances, grandparents eager to explore, educate and share their experiences are taking their grandchildren on adventure trips and leaving parents at home.

The trend has given rise to specialty events and travel options that are tailored to the desires of the individuals. An increasing number of family groups are choosing to visit foreign lands, with Italy, France and Spain being top destination choices. However, a significant portion of the population is choosing unconventional destinations such as Iceland, the Galapagos Islands, India and Japan.

Still others that are on the hunt for a truly unique experience are taking the road less traveled and booking trips to go whale watching, hot air ballooning, dog sledding, and to visit the Great Barrier Reef. African safaris, sleeping under the Northern Lights, and sand surfing in the Sahara are other options. Snorkeling in exotic locations, volcano surfing, and swimming with dolphins are also popular activities.

For those that want adventure without the risk that comes with extreme activities, water parks and theme parks remain popular, but a substantial number of those seeking something different are choosing outdoor activities at national parks and other locations where they can view wildlife up close, go flying across sand dunes in a buggy, zip line across tree tops, or enjoy an authentic western experience.

No matter what the age, there are millions of people seeking something new and different and family adventure trips top the list of the most highly sought activities. There are adventures to accommodate every desire and interest, allowing anyone to live boldly.

Adding a Pet to the Home

 

There will come a time in every person’s life when they consider pet ownership or their child asks for a dog or cat. The decision to adopt a pet of any type shouldn’t be undertaken lightly. A pet is a lifelong commitment – their lifetime, not yours. Animals are living beings with feelings and needs – not a disposable accessory.

It’s your responsibility to ensure pets are fed, vaccinated, have the physical comforts required, and children are taught how to treat the animal with kindness, caring, and compassion. No matter how much your child begs, you need to honestly evaluate your child’s maturity level before adding a pet to the family.

The Downside

  • Canines need to be trained not to relieve themselves indoors and it takes time and patience. Smaller breeds will need to relieve themselves more often.
  • Dogs and cats go through teething like kids and will chew on anything available
  • Keeping animals in ‘training cages’ often leads to boredom and destructive behaviors
  • Dogs need obedience training
  • You’ll need a pet sitter if you travel frequently
  • If you get a cat, they’ll need a litter box that will require daily cleaning
  • Pets shed and it increases when they’re stressed
  • You may be allergic and not know it
  • There are considerable expenses associated with a pet
  • Depending on their natural behavior patterns, they can be noisy at night
  • If a dog attacks someone, you can be sued for any medical costs and the dog may be taken and euthanized
  • You’re liable if your dog destroys someone’s property
  • Pets can outlive you
  • All animals don’t like kids

The Benefits

  • Pets provide unconditional love and comfort
  • They empathize with you
  • They relieve stress
  • Pets can be the impetus for you to get more exercise
  • Pets don’t judge you
  • They look to you for love and comfort – yes, even cats
  • Pets reduce blood pressure
  • Pets improve mental health

Having an animal companion can be one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll have, but it’s also an expensive undertaking and requires commitment. Adopting from a shelter provides a forever home to a deserving animal and aids in curtailing pet mills. Never give an animal as a gift for Christmas, Easter, or other occasion.

How Volunteering can Help Build Character

Every parent wants to help their child build character and one of the ways to accomplish that is through volunteering. There are opportunities to volunteer throughout the year and the holiday season is an especially needful time.

Anyone with a toddler is familiar with how they think and approach their personal goals. They want it, they want it now, and they have little – if any – regard for the boundaries, feelings, or consequences to others. Volunteering teaches temperance, restraint, and value for other living beings.

Depending upon their age, youngsters can participate in events that raise money for charitable organizations or donate to food pantries. They can collect essential items for the homeless, donate toys for those less fortunate, and help clean up at local parks. Even small acts help youngsters learn and embrace qualities of empathy, compassion and tolerance. Volunteering teaches gratitude, social responsibility, and makes you feel good.

Even toddlers can begin learning the character-building traits that come with service to others and it provides valuable bonding time with your child. Volunteering helps connect people with humanity at large and it aids in developing confidence since the experiences take people out of their comfort zones. People that volunteer develop a unique perspective and are often innovators as adults.

Individuals that volunteer learn humility, leadership, teamwork, and a sense of fairness. They learn to advocate for social justice and have a greater sense of community. Children learn a sense of gratitude that they carry with them throughout their lifetimes and tend to be happier and better adjusted in their personal and professional endeavors.

There’s a myriad of volunteering opportunities in which children can participate that aligns with their personal interests. It’s best to begin with activities in which they’re interested and as they develop pride in their efforts, they may turn to other organizations where they see assistance is needed. The important thing is that you’ve spent valuable time bonding with your child, developed their character, and taught them lessons that will help them throughout their life.

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.

10 Top Waterslides from Around the World

Here at South Florida Bounce, we love a waterslide.  While ours are super fun to ride and perfect for all the family to enjoy, some waterslides just offer crazy heights and sheer drops, while others are freakishly fast and will leave you feeling more than a little rinsed out at the bottom.

Are you brave enough to try any of the 10 top waterslides from around the world?  Take your pick…

  1.  Insano — Beach Park, Brazil

Formerly recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest waterslide in the world, Brazil’s towering Insano stands an intimidating 14 stories high and is still just as awesome as it ever was. It takes just seconds to descend at speeds of 65mph, and its extreme drop has become a viral sensation all over the world.

  1. The Scorpion’s Tail — Noah’s Ark Waterpark, Wisconsin

Start as you mean to go one with this ride, as the fear factor ramps up from the word go.  In the safety of a clear capsule, the floor vanishes beneath you and the adventure begins as you take somewhere between 5-7 seconds to complete the 10 story, 400 ft loop and plummet towards the pool at the bottom.

  1. Twister and Speedy — Sonnetherme Lutzmannsburg Thermal Spa, Austria

Set in the beautiful surroundings of this peaceful, thermal spa, this waterslide is there to really shake things up a little.  With not one, but two of the world’s scariest waterslides on the same site, you can hurtle down a 460ft descent at breakneck speed on the Speedy, or throw yourself down the thrilling 660ft flume ride that is the Twister.

  1. Faser — Galaxy Erding, Germany

German engineering at its best can be found in this incredibly water ride that is classified into three levels and features over 20 separate slides.  The Faser is the fastest and most notorious with riders regularly achieving speeds in excess of 45mph.

  1. Jumeirah Sceirah — Wild Wadi Waterpark, Dubai

Tucked away on the glamorous surroundings of Dubai, the Jumeirah Sceirah is a breathtaking tandem slide that completes its 360ft ride in just a few seconds at 50mph. Perfect for those who like to look their best when they fly down a waterslide.

  1. Leap of Faith — Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas

Set on the beautiful, relaxing islands of the Bahamas, this ride is anything but!  The flume ride throws you hurtling through a transparent tunnel, down into a shark-filled lagoon from 60ft high. Scary stuff indeed!

  1. Aqualoop — Terme 3000 Adventure Pool Complex, Slovenia

Coming in the top five fastest waterslides in Europe, the trail-blazing Aqualoop was also the first to include an exhilarating 360-degree loop. It is considered to be the world’s only truly looping waterslide, this one is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

  1.  Summit Plummet — Blizzard Beach, Florida

Beginning at a dizzying 120ft off the ground, the riders of this free-fall plummet along a 360ft flume, regularly reaching speeds of up 50 to 60mph. It may not offer quite a 90-degree angle, Summit Plummet is so steep that riders can’t see anything if they peer over the edge of the slide before they get down into position. Have faith, and just go!

  1. Brain Wash — Wet ’n’ Wild Water Park, Florida

This domed funnel flume bombards riders with sound, videos, and lights as they make the 53ft vertical drop, reaching incredible speeds. One of Florida’s finest, it really is an adrenaline-fueled feast for the senses.

  1. Città del Mare, Italy

Our final offering is something a little different.  There is no pool to land in, and you may not go mind-blowingly fast, but you will be sliding through the rugged mountains of Italy to be dropped from a great height straight into the Mediterranean Sea itself!  Amazing!
