Holiday Bounce House



Winter break is just around the corner, bringing a change to the family routine. The kids still have a lot of energy to use. Since it’s their vacation, why not make it special with a holiday bounce house?

I’ve always enjoyed the bouncing around and wonderful feeling of temporary flight as I soar into the air before falling back to the surface before lifting off again. Treat the grownups to their own special session. Rules are the same as for the kids – shoes and jewelry off, no sharp objects, and no roughhousing.

The play area encourages the kids to leave the TV and video games. Happy laughter, encouraged by bouncing and the sheer job of freedom to move, makes the holidays special. 

You’ll find the kids communicating with one another as they announce which direction they intend to go. “I’m going to fly really high!” They learn to judge distances and use their muscles to help balance their moves. 

Talk with the other parents in your area to see if they’d like to share in the cost of setup and rental. It may even become a holiday tradition that carries on for years. 




Have you experienced the joy of hopping around a bounce house?

  4. Bounce houses are the most fun a kid can have without breaking kiddie law. This would make any kid's party the best party ever.

  5. My kids never pass up a chance to enjoy a bounce house, and if we're being honest, neither do I! It is a great way to get some energy out and have fun too.

  6. We rent a bounce house every year for our family reunion! The kids play on it for hours and sometimes the adults join in! I wish they made bounce houses just for adults!!!

  8. That's a fun idea! We don't have neighbors with kids that would be interested, but if we lived in a neighborhood that did, I'd totally ask if they wanted to share the cost and rent one, too!

  14. My friend just rented a bouncy house for her Son's birthday party. It was a huge hit. We normally have a few feet of snow this time of year. This year it was a beautiful warm sunny day and the kids loved it.

  17. Some friends of ours bit the bullet & bought one. It's so much fun for everyone (parents too). Why not have one accessible?
