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.

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.
