Castles filled with air
Ever thought about using a bouncy castle with your child?
Regular readers of this blog may have gathered that I am a huge advocate of playing with your child. Here’s another way to have heaps of fun together if you haven’t already discovered it.
If you are fortunate enough to have a big enough space, then I seriously recommend buying a small bouncy castle (I have one that is 8ft by 8ft) - if you shop around they can be relatively inexpensive, I bought one for less than $150 complete with pump. It is fascinating to watch this thing inflate in just 25 seconds! Then you and your child are all set for some serious fun - whenever you want.

The small bouncy castles are really meant for children, so adults may find that they are too heavy to really bounce inside them, but so what. You and your child have a ready made play room perfect for the two of you, or perhaps they can go in with their siblings. Your child will certainly bounce, and everytime you move they will bounce some more. A perfect situation for natural interaction. I defy you not to laugh and have a great time - both of you
Note: Small bouncy castles are designed for children, adults should take care not to hurt themselves by trying to bounce on them.
Do you have any great ideas to share? I’d love to hear them.
