Fun Ways to Explore Nature with Kids

With the rigors and responsibilities of everyday life, adults can lose sight of the importance of exposing children to nature. There are dozens of fun ways for parents to explore the natural world with children of all ages that aren’t expensive and will instill a love of nature in youngsters.

Everything from the weather to rocks is just waiting to be discovered. Families don’t have to live near a forest or the beach to explore nature, though those locales can surely be included. Exploring nature is a fun and easy way to learn about the natural world. It’s a great way to relieve stress and children will also be learning disciplines that include math, science, and biology.

A walk in the park, nature trail or even the backyard provides healthy exercise and is one of the best ways to be up close and personal with trees, indigenous flowers, and wildlife. Children can collect leaves and identify different types of trees, learn about plants to avoid, and be taught about the preservation of endangered species.

For those with an artistic flair, buy a sketchbook and let them draw what they see. Younger children often enjoy finding colorful leaves and pressing them between the pages of a heavy book. Go on a seed hunting expedition to find different types of seeds and talk about how they’re transported from one location to another.

Even the weather has possibilities. Have kids keep a journal of the weather conditions at the same time each day. They can record the type of clouds they see, especially vibrant sunrises or sunsets and what caused the colors, and what the air smells like after a rain. It’s also an excellent way to teach kids about signs of incoming storms and precautions they should take.

Everyone loves a scavenger hunt and parents can create one with a nature-based theme. Send children out to find items such as three different flowers, aromatic leaves, pine cones, acorns or different types of rocks. Plants aren’t the only things to discover in nature.

Beat the Heat with an Inflatable Water Slide

The turn of the seasons from summer to autumn doesn’t mean the end of hot, muggy weather in South Florida. With everyone looking for opportunities to beat the heat, one of the best ways is with an inflatable water slide. They’re available with multiple themes, come in sizes to accommodate little tykes to adults, and provide hours of watery fun.

Inflatable water slides are an economical way to have fun. The water is recycled so it’s easy on a family’s water bill and it uses far less water than a swimming pool. A water slide virtually screams family fun and the sounds of laughter from those using it will bring a smile of joy to anyone’s face.

Water slides that can be rented provide a bigger thrill than any that can be purchased at stores. Inflatable water slides are available in one and two-lane styles and of special interest is the Tropical Cyclone. The 30-ft. water slide is new and built exclusively for South Florida Bounce. It features two lanes of sliding fun, each at a different height, to accommodate smaller children and one for older youngsters and adults.

South Florida Bounce is also the home of the Typhoon, Twister, and Hurricane water slides, all of which feature an exhilarating 40-ft. drop. The Twister can be assembled without a curve for a crazy long ride of 110 ft.

A theme party is no problem with a water slide. They’re available in an extensive range of designs to capture anyone’s interest. For those that fancy pirates, the “Black Pearl” with a 32-foot drop empties into a pool for an added splash at the end of the pirate ship-themed water slide.

Superhero fans can beat the heat with The Hulk, a 36-ft. tall water slide with 100 feet of dual-lane sliding fun that deposits riders in a pool at the end. Captain America is 30 ft. tall and features two lanes. Also available is the Purple Rain water slide at 25 ft. tall and highlighted with a slip-n-slide and pool at the bottom. Any water slide selection provides an excellent way to beat the South Florida heat.

Pros and Cons of Adopting a Dog

At some point, almost every child begins asking for a pet – usually a dog. Adopting a pet is a serious undertaking and shouldn’t be done frivolously. By adopting a dog, an individual is agreeing to care for that pet throughout their lifetime and provide them with the food, medical care, and safe environment that will enable them to thrive.

Adopting a dog from a shelter is less expensive and deprives puppy mills of profiting from the pain of defenseless animals. Adopting from a shelter also provides a home for a dog that might otherwise not have a chance at a long life. Most people want a puppy, but don’t overlook older and adult animals. The following are the pros and cons of adopting a dog.

Puppies certainly won’t be housebroken and some older dogs may have never received the training when they were young. They can all be housebroken, but it requires a significant time investment. A dog will also require a number of vaccinations, along with flea and tick treatments, to protect them against a variety of communicable illnesses and diseases.

A dog will require regular walks to relieve themselves and obtain necessary exercise. Individuals will need to clean up the mess and dispose of it appropriately. Adoptive pet parents will need to have some idea of how large the canine will be as an adult. A Great Dane isn’t suited for a small apartment. It’s also a good idea to erect fencing for the protection of the dog and others if possible.

The equipment and food for a dog can be expensive. The animal will need a collar or harness, leash, and dishes for food and water. For those that travel a lot or work long hours, adopting a dog isn’t a good idea. A dog that’s bored will find mischief. Don’t expect to relegate dog-related tasks to the children – the adults typically still end up taking care of the dog themselves.

Two of the most profound pleasures of adopting a dog are the unconditional love and companionship they provide. A dog is a faithful friend that’s always excited to greet their humans when they arrive home. They always do their best to please and sharing affection with a dog provides humans with a variety of health benefits. A dog is always prepared to provide comfort and demonstrate how happy they are to share your life.

Break up Pandemic Boredom with a Waterslide

Lockdown orders to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic can be difficult for adults and even more so for energetic kids. For families that are tired of movies, taking walks, or can’t get their kids to read, an inflatable waterslide can keep everyone happy and break up the boredom and monotony of the pandemic.

There are waterslides of all heights, lengths, and some are also designed to deposit merry-makers directly into an in-ground swimming pool. Some are single lane, some have two lanes for competitive players, and come equipped with splash pools. Multiple, brightly colored themes are available, along with more tame versions for younger children that will keep kids busy for hours.

South Florida Bounce is taking the pandemic very seriously. We employ rigorous anti-bacterial and anti-viral cleaning solutions after every rental. Each inflatable is also accompanied by a South Florida Bounce employee with additional cleaning supplies on hand for everyone’s safety.

South Florida Bounce has the largest inflatable water slides in South Florida. The Twister is a single lane waterslide featuring a 40-foot drop of excitement. It can be set up with a curve at the bottom or left straight for a crazy ride that’s 110 feet of aquatic fun. With the wide variety of waterslides available, it’s easy to recreate the feel of a waterpark experience without leaving home.

The Typhoon and The Hurricane are two-lane waterslides that also have a 40-foot drop. For those that want three-lane excitement and competition, The Triple Lindy has a 27-foot drop. The selection of waterslides is extensive, with drops ranging from 16-feet to 40-feet depending on the selected model. The Elite with a 13-foot slide is available for younger children that aren’t ready for a monster waterslide, but are full of energy and need a break from boredom.

Get Outside this Summer with a Waterslide

There’s no better way to cool off than with a water-based form of amusement and even when a pool is available, nothing can beat the fun of a waterslide. The inflatable slides are available in multiple heights to accommodate toddlers to adults, have a myriad of themes, and some can even be arranged to deposit individuals directly into an existing swimming pool. Depending on the model, they’re offered in 1-4 lane styles for friendly competition.

South Florida Bounce is home to The Twister, South Florida’s largest waterslide highlighted by a 40 ft. drop and a slide that’s 110 ft. long. For those that want a little extra excitement, it can be designed with a curve. Adding the curve will shorten the length of the slide, but fun is just as huge and sliders will be delivered to a pool for a watery splash ending.

There are also options for younger children. The Elite Slide features a unique ladder in the back for climbing to the top. The 13-ft. slide provides all the fun of a larger model, while allowing smaller children to enjoy all the fun that older youngsters have.

Waterslides let adults forget their cares and act like kids again. They’re one of the most popular amusements available for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or a special treat for the family. An inflatable waterslide just for the younger children is a gift of fun that will be a cherished memory for years to come.

Renting an inflatable water slide is convenient and is an eco-friendly solution that uses less water than a permanent waterslide. The water is recycled, making it much less expensive to operate. South Florida Bounce takes care of the set-up and inflatables have an advantage over anything that could be permanently constructed at a pool. They provide the experience of a water park for summertime fun right at home.

Outdoor Fun with Inflatables

The use of outdoor inflatables is an increasingly popular option as an affordable way to inject an extra level of fun into special events. The selection is truly amazing and there are inflatables to accommodate every age group and fitness level.

Water Slides

It’s no surprise that in South Florida, one of the most popular outdoor inflatables is a water slide. They can be used as a stand-alone entertainment and some models can be arranged to deposit merry-makers directly into a swimming pool. Dry slides are also offered and both styles are available in a wide range of heights with single or double lanes.

Bounce House

It’s easy to make any play date or party for children 12 and younger more exciting with a bounce house. They’re available in multiple designs to accommodate a wide range of party themes and interests.

Surf, Skate, Snowboard

For those that want to try their hand at surfing without going in the ocean, inflatable robo surfer games are available. They provide real wave action on a small scale for the backyard. They’re also offered for snowboarding and skateboarding.

Lawn Games

Inflatables bring all the fun of life-size board games to the backyard, but the good times don’t end there. Individuals can also choose from inflatable versions of golf, “hamster” balls, human foosball, billiards, jousting matches, sumo wrestling, and mazes.

For businesses, schools, churches, and other organizations that want to create the appeal of a carnival, there are options for game booths and mechanical rides with an inflatable element such as bungee trampolines.

Great Social Activities for Young Kids

All kids will benefit from social activities, but it can be especially difficult for parents to choose appropriate pursuits for young children. The level of involvement will depend on the age of the child and it’s best to engage in non-competitive activities for very young children.

Sports

Team sports such as pee-wee baseball are typically one of the first organized sports that parents turn to in their quest to socialize their child and set them on a path to extra-curricular activities that will hopefully lead to college benefits. Team sports are an excellent way for kids to learn to work together and to do so toward a common goal.

A sport of any kind demonstrates by example how to be a good sport if the team loses and not to be braggarts when they win. Kids learn about practice and commitment, time management, and hard work. Through trying, even if they fail, they develop confidence in themselves.

Dance

Whether kids are enrolled in ballet, tap, swing, or interpretive dance it’s an activity that essentially teaches youngsters the same lessons as sports. It also has some additional benefits that include better balance and self-discipline, along with problem solving skills and perseverance. Dancers learn that there’s always someone better than they are at a particular skill, not to take it personally, and to keep trying.

Martial Arts

A dojo is a great place for youngsters to begin learning lessons that will stay with them for a lifetime. The first is that learning is a lifelong endeavor and even small, incremental improvements produce long-term results. The discipline helps kids focus, concentrate, and they have better balance and control.

Respect, humility, discipline, and mastery of one’s self are all emphasized. Youngers discover that nothing is attained without a certain amount of risk and that adversity is overcome through mental strength and fortitude. Kids also find that there are no shortcuts to true success and not to compare themselves to others.

Ways for Grandparents to Connect with Grandchildren

Sometimes the generation gap can seem insurmountable for grandparents, especially if their grandchildren are tweens or teens. It’s much easier to find activities to share with youngsters when they’re young, but a loving connection is essential at any age. Grandparents can have a profound influence on their grandchildren and for those that may not know where to begin, the following are some great ways to start.

One-on-One Time

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with spending the day or engaging in an activity with just one of your grandchildren at a time instead of doing something as a group. They each have different interests that you can share and nurture. Just do the same for each one.

Activities and Hobbies

It’s never too early for children to discover new interests. It could be anything from collecting seashells or knitting to biking and horseback riding. If a grandchild is already passionate about a sport or activity, watch TV or movies about it with them, or try it with them.

Be Silly, Have Fun

A sense of humor and the ability to laugh at oneself are some of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon your grandchildren. If you like to sing or dance, do it with wild abandon. Let them see your own sense of humor shine through and teach by example – don’t be afraid to try new things.

Be Practical

There are dozens of practical things with which you can help your grandchildren. Essential things you learned as a child are often not taught or learned anymore, but they still have practical applications. Being able to make change without electronic means, create a budget, cook a meal or change a tire are just some examples.

Be Yourself

There’s been way too much hype about being the “cool” grandma or grandpa. Children know when adults are faking. Grandchildren want to see the real you, know that they’re important to you, and that you love them. Spending time with them enables you to be a major part of their life, pass on some of your knowledge and experience, and learn new things from them.
