Why Children Love Bouncy Castles

This is why all children's parties need to have a bouncy castle. Bouncy Castle hire is amazing fun - ask any child. If we look at it from the child's perspective, there is nothing quite like the excitement of turning up to a party, an event or any other celebration, and seeing a play area set up for a Bouncy Castle and other play inflatables or soft play. Children love being around their friends and have the freedom of bouncing around. Best of all, children don't normally have to be invited to join in the fun. There are no teams, no captains, no waiting periods (unless it’s at an event where there are queues) and there’s no need to prove yourself. Children can simply climb in and start bouncing. If children didn't come to the party with lots of friends when they arrived, they'll have lots of new ones before the party finishes. For parents hosting a children's party or any event can be a major headache with lots of stress involved. For example, How many children should be invited? How many games should you organise? What type of games should you organise? Who gets the prizes? What if no one wants to play any of the games? And how tired are you going to be at the end of the day? With a bouncy castle it is the perfect way to break the ice, get the party started, and make sure that everyone has a really good time. Of course, you will have to keep a careful eye out to make sure that everyone stays safe while the kids play on the inflatables, but watching kids have a great time is never a chore.

There are other benefits to hiring a bouncy castle. Modern life involves a lot of sitting down even for children. Sitting at desks for long periods at school or in front of computer screens at home means a lot of pent-up energy and also increasing levels of obesity. Jumping on Inflatables improves balance and stamina and spatial awareness. A bouncy castle is brilliant all-round exercise in a safe and fun environment. There is another great benefit, safety. When you hire a bouncy castle you can be sure that all the health and safety boxes have been ticked and you're providing a safe play environment for all the children. A bouncy castle also offers a great opportunity for social interaction. If they bump into someone It's not a problem - they just need to laugh it off and carry on bouncing. When children are laughing and using up energy there is no time for worry or anxiety. But it needs to be pointed out that a bouncy castle is not a free for all in order to avoid spills, knocks and bumps. And there is an important social lesson in that as well. Imaginative play provides food for the imagination and children can use their great imagination about the bouncy castle being a pirate ship, a zero-gravity spaceship, a jungle or farm with lots of animals or even somewhere where children can pretend that they are flying, or all of those things at the same time!
