With summer upon us, the time is perfect for some outdoor fun. Outdoor play is essential. Kids these days spend way too much time indoors. This is not healthy for them. Children need fresh air and exercise. They also need exposure to sunlight for vitamin D. It is not always easy to persuade children to play outside, as many are hopelessly addicted to their computers and tablets, but a safe, fun bounce house will definitely keep them entertained outdoors.
Many families rent bounce houses for special events, but most inflatables are simple to use at home. They take minutes to inflate and even less time to deflate. A durable bounce house in the back yard will encourage your kids (and all their friends!) to exercise and have fun at the same time. A smaller bounce house can even be used indoors.
Here is a quick guide to the inflatable bounce houses we think tick all of the right boxes for kids.
