Just Common Sense?

In a recent article found in Parenting Magazine, the author highlights some excellent points for do’s and don’ts of taking photos of your child. Rather than adhering to photography 101, they mention the safety issues of making her son’s pic and then distributing it across all your social media channels. Today’s world has become hazardous when it comes to places such as Facebook and Instagram. While we don’t want to discourage anyone from sharing family events and the like, we do think many of the tips in the article were valid. As parents, ourselves, we want everyone to have a safe and happy life without putting our kids in danger. In this blog, we expound on some of the important points you should know.

The first point they make is not to take pictures of your kids during their bath time. It’s downright sad to say they have a point that these types of photos can get into the wrong hands. While we think, kids are adorable, it’s their safety that counts.

Next, up, posting shaming videos may seem innocent but, it’s also something that can make a real mess. We’ve all seen a few videos on Facebook and Twitter where a child pouts or tells off a parent. The article claims this can be devastating in the long run. Not exactly sure how or why but they also advise this type of photo opportunity can cause a child to become stressed or develop anxiety. While this may be true, we do think this is an over the top statement by the author.

Now we know shaming and bath time are out, when do you know when to take a photo? The time may not be right if your child attends a private school where uniforms are worn with a school logo. This can tell perpetrators where your kids go to school. Be sure to give your kids proper instruction when babysitting or attending events. Children should be taught that people can find them online and places like Facebook aren’t good to advertise addresses, situations where they’re home alone or what school they go to. It may seem like common sense to you, but to your kids, it might be a different story.

Lastly, the author gives some excellent advice on not taking photos during unsafe activities. The picture isn’t the important part, the safety of yourself and your children are. People taking pics of your kids while you aren’t looking at all angles of a situation can be dangerous. Parents could be reported if they’re taking photos of their children sitting on their laps while driving a car when they should be in a car seat, can get you into some serious trouble, on top of backlash from your followers. The best suggestions we should think twice before grabbing your smartphone.

Winter carnivals are always a wonderland of fun. Good times apply when you live in a place like South Florida. Since there’s so much to do for planning one of these events, we thought we’d call on a few superhero friends to help you out! “Wonder-Twin Powers Activate”!

Just like Captain Marvel is versatile; winter carnival activities don’t have to be costly just wise. By using household items to create fun stations, you’ve got the wisdom of Solomon just like that! “Shazam”!

Your guests can climb the rock climbing wall just like Spiderman without spinning the web. The visitors at this winter carnival won’t have time to get cold while using their superhuman powers to reach the top. Good times along with an excellent way to build skill with the 25’ high rock wall, perfect for any winter party.

The Hulk is sure to enjoy testing his strength and skills while adrenaline fills his veins in our Meltdown interactive carnival attraction. Mini-Hulk’s can enjoy hours of activity while they take on the Marvel Universe with their friends.

Both Batman and Robin are eager to slide into the bat cave with the dual lane skyscraper that’s 25 feet high and perfect for winter parties since this is a dry slide.

Procrastinator Ideas for Your Fundraiser

It seems with the fall being upon us once again, more of our philanthropy events are taking place around South Florida. Every organization from the Boys and Girls club to the local churches are planning their yearly events. Many of us busy bees and procrastinators forget the entertainment till last. In this blog, we dedicate our expert advice to conjure up some ideas even if you’re a last minute planner. Read on!

Bounce houses are obviously a favorite past time for all ages. Today’s BH’s have more to offer than the moonwalks of yesterday. It’s important to know the square footage when reserving your BH with any vendor. The sqft gives them the opportunity to offer a great deal with the correct size.

If you have a more selected age group that’s older, consider one of the obstacle courses for your guests. You can charge the participants a dollar a fight and command the audience betting on the winner. Request local business co-op the event and donate a prize for the donation. Great way to build awareness of the event along with raising funds.

If this is a family event, strong games can be fun. Rock climbing is a favored feature for many of the younger generation.

Food vendors can be expensive. If you’re looking to offer food at your charity event, keep in mind that you can cook with our appliance rentals such as hot dog griller and cotton candy machine. South Florida Bounce has one of the biggest selections of food prep tools.

When you live in a place such as South Florida waterslides are extremely popular. With the perfect weather temperatures year around, a waterslide rental can be ideal whether your event is planned for July or December!

We’ve seen a lot of rentals for October with big races such as Cure for Cancer. If your event is a 5K marathon, we can’t suggest to you more how great waterslides are. Many of these races are family affairs; kids love to participate too. Now, watching dad run a marathon is more exciting for both fathers and children.

No matter if you wait until the last hour to throw your shin-dig together or you’re someone who’s run out of time, our office staff can help you schedule the perfect entertainment in town.

We’re here to help!

Tips for A Back to School Party

If you or someone you know has been selected to throw this year’s back to school party then this blog is for you! Seems many of the teachers and school administrators are looking for ways to make their back to school parties a hit. Of course we know that the main goal here is to get our children interested in coming back to school once summer is over. So what better way to do it than with an awesome party that will energize grades K-12? Let’s get started:

First, we want to say that safety is paramount to everything we do, and so should you. Be sure the parents have filled out all forms necessary if you’ll be incorporating bounce houses, waterslides or obstacle courses. Keep these in a locked file and don’t hesitate to make this a priority.

Next: Decorate according to the location of the party. Outdoor themes should have plenty of balloons and Streamers, sidewalk chalk is also another great item to have on board.

Don’t forget the Sanitizer: Keep plenty of jugs of sanitizer on board to lower the spread of germs.

Food: Whether you have it catered or your school is supplying, there’s nothing better than items you can eat quickly with your hands. An old standby like hot dogs, hamburgers and even pizza are amongst the favorites with the younger crowds. Don’t forget something sweet such as sno-cones or caramel apples that are great this time of year in Southern Florida.

Remind everyone to wear appropriate clothing to ensure they’re protected from the sun and are comfortable.

The first sign of rain, take shelter immediately. Again, safety is key here.

Organize an interactive game, such as a scavenger hunt. Have groups found items around the school or event area. Make sure a head count is done before and after for accountability.

Don’t stress out. Do meditation, book a massage or just take some quiet time either before the event or after allowing yourself time to unwind. The party should reflect how happy you are to have the kids back and telling them learning is fun as well as important.

Games are the one of the most important elements to any kid party. However, kids in the older age groups such as 13+ do well with our obstacle courses and competing games. Contact us for information on what works best for your event.
