Bouncing isn’t just for triggers! Read about the benefits of Inflatable Castles for toddlers and kids.
Bouncy castles have been around for years, with larger versions normally up for use at fairs and carnivals while smaller versions can be rented or purchased for home use.
While even adults have to admit they are pretty fun to jump around in, are there really any benefits of bouncy castles for kids? You bet!
THE BENEFITS OF BOUNCY CASTLES FOR KIDS
AWESOME WORKOUT
One of the main benefits of bouncy castles for kids is the fact that it is a great way to encourage exercise or help with weight loss.
Even children that have a normal body weight still need regular exercise and trying to create an exercise routine for a child is almost impossible.
While kids will need a little bit of adult supervision, they can basically bounce on their own and the recommended 20 to 30 minutes of exercise a day, three times a week can easily be achieved.
Shoot, my boys could go outside and bounce for an hour. They come in drenched and HAPPY!
For some extra fun, add soft of plastic balls or stuffed animals to the Inflatable Slide. Let the craziness begin!
PROMOTES SOCIAL INTERACTION
Children can obviously enjoy themselves while jumping alone, but bouncy castles tend to attract other children for what seems like miles around.
Who doesn’t love having someone to play with? It’s the perfect excuse to get together with friends.
Of course, kids will need to learn to take turns, play well with each other and also be conscious of their actions as to not bump into each other while playing.
Clear rules should be explained about how many kids can be on at one time and any other rules, like whether or not shoes are allowed, etc.
SAVES MONEY ON RENTALS
While this may be more of a benefit for parents, bouncy castle rental can cost a few hundred dollars per day, while purchasing one can run about $300 to $400 depending on the size.
After just two uses, the castle has already paid for itself. I can’t tell you how many parents I know just went ahead and purchased one for the summer.
New bouncy castle kits should include the fan, the Inflatable Obstacle Course itself and the correct electrical cord or breaker.
Bouncy castles provide exercise and hours of entertainment for both children and adults.
While rentals are a good option, purchasing a bouncy castle is probably the best choice for unlimited amounts of fun.
