It's Bouncy House Time of Year

At Kids Party Characters we have one big goal, which is to become your “one stop shop” for all of your party entertainment needs.

As moms, we know planning your child’s party can become so stressful that it’s hard to make time to actually enjoy the festivities.

But what if you could make one call to Kids Party Characters, arrange all the best entertainment in that one conversation, and sit back and relax while we saw to it that everything was delivered, set up, and thoroughly enjoyed by your child and her guests?

With our new bouncy castles, that’s exactly how things will work.

When you call Kids Party Characters, we’ll reserve your child's favorite character to show up as the honored guest at his party. And your character’s not just there to look good.

We use professional actors to represent our characters, and they come to your child’s party ready to put on a show.

In addition to the show, Kids Party Characters has all the kids’ favorites when it comes to party fun, including cotton candy, face painting, balloon twisting, and now — bouncy castles.

Once you’re booked with Kids Party Characters, we take over the heavy lifting and let you turn your attentions to the food and cake (and maybe a little house cleaning!).

Why Bouncy Castles?

The number one reason to include a bouncy castle in your child’s next party is pretty simple, kids love them. 

And while that’s really all the reason you need here, as a bonus, it just so happens that bouncing is good for kids too.

As you can probably imagine, bouncing improves your child’s balance, coordination, and agility. It also increases spatial awareness and helps with motor skill development. 

Sharing the space with other kids is a great exercise in socialization as well.

The bouncy castle can also help release some of that crazy energy that comes with the excitement of the party, and that can make it hard for mom to even get through everything that’s planned.

When kids are in the bouncy castles, they’re basically getting a full body workout. In addition to bouncing, you’ll see them on their backs, stomachs, crawling, and climbing — especially if you choose our ultimate obstacle course bouncy castle pictured above.

Bouncing has some other health benefits you probably don’t know about. First, it calms the nervous system, which means yes, that hyper activity is actually having a calming effect.

Bouncing is also great for the lymphatic system, which is the main carrier of the immune system and which is essential to proper digestion. 

Another crucial benefit of a healthy lymphatic system is that it reduces stress and anxiety.

While the parent observers might just see the excitement and chaos surrounding the bouncy castle, it’s actually working for us to keep the kids healthy and happy, and yet not out of control.

Funniest Things Kids ask the Characters

The funniest things children ask the characters

Over the last Eight years of doing kids parties I've grown to understand the minds of children. Every weekend playing a character for Kids Party Characters you really see how a child's imagination works & how they interpret reality.

Children under the age of 8 & in some cases up to 10 years they still believe that Spiderman can really shoot webs from his wrists & climb walls while elsa is building Ice Castles & snowmen with a wave of her hand.

so bearing this in mind it's important to know how your character you're portraying so you can answer their questions and keep them believing in miracles.

As I arrive in my Cinderella gown the questions I often get are "Where is your horse & carriage" or "Where is Prince Charming"?

My response is as follows: "I have to send the horses away so they don't make a mess in the neighbors yards & eat all their grass and Prince Charming takes the best care of them so he drove away the carriage".

Elsa is probably the most booked princess today. the most asked questions are "Why did you freeze your sister?" or "Were you sad when your parents died in the boat wreck"?

How do you answer these questions to a precious little child?

As I think long and hard I respond. When I was little girl not much older than you my powers were new to me. I didn't quite understand how they worked & I was learning to control them. Freezing my sister was an accident but it showed me how much I love her and always want to protect her. 

How I respond when they ask if I was sad when my parents died I try very hard to keep it positive and teach them the circle of life. I explain to them to always look at the good memories you share with those you love when you lose them. 

This may not be the best answer but I know I'm teaching them the power of Love for family and those you care about.

Now Moana is up and coming as the newest Princess of interest. This princess teaches the children free will and to follow your ow path no matter what anyone else tells you.

I personally admire her courage and empaled the writers for teaching the children this valuable lesson.

I feel we are evolving into a world where girls and woman can finally speak up and be anything they put their minds to.

Moana is the epidemic of that in todays world you can be anything you want if you just believe in your self and follow your dreams.

As far as boy characters I'm gonna have to interview our male actors so you can hear their stories of what such characters like Batman or Spiderman get asked.

Always remember a child's imagination is priceless. As long as you never lose that you will never lose your inner child.

3 Tried & Tested Tips For Traveling with Kids

Don't forget to make time to run in the park.(Ramses with a Masai warrior in Kenya). Courtesy of Pedro Pla
In January, Pedro Pla and his wife Grace Cheng embarked on a six-month journey around the world with their two sons, 4-year-old Ramses and 2-year-old Ranefer.
The couple, who are the cofounders of credit-card comparison site Get.com, hit 1 million airline miles after a year of racking up credit card rewards points, which they used to purchase four business class Round-the-World tickets, worth a total of $54,000 (though they had to cover taxes and fees).

The family of four is traveling to five continents and at least 15 countries, including Kenya, Switzerland, Argentina, Colombia, and South Korea. That's a lot of constant movement for anyone, but add two toddlers into the mix and the journey becomes a bit more challenging.

Along the way, Pla says they've discovered a few "tried and tested tips" for traveling with toddlers. Check them out below:

1. Pack more of their stuff and less of yours
"As we are traveling to five continents on this six-month round-the-world trip, we have the additional consideration of packing for both warm and cold climates as we traverse from the Southern to Northern hemisphere, and then down to South and then up North again, and so on. We made sure to prepare sufficient winter and summer clothing for them in advance to avoid having to hunt for them in times of need."

2. Set aside free time in between sight seeing
"Ramses and Ranefer are still toddlers, so they have toddler-specific needs, such as needing rest time and play time. As we are traveling on our own, we have the freedom to plan how and where we want to spend each day. We try to stretch out our visits in a particular destination over several days so that we can explore the different places at a leisurely pace and have time to rest and relax. Our two boys have napped everywhere, be it in a pool cabana, safari jeep, plane, taxi, museum, restaurant, or national park.

"We also try to strike a balance of setting aside time to let them run in the park and also having time to check out art galleries and museums, which have proven to be quite intriguing to their young minds."

3. Engage them in stories about their experiences
"Whenever we take on new places or activities, our focus is to let them soak in the atmosphere. For example, when we visit museums and galleries, we would tell them stories of what they were looking at — be it portraits of historical kings, Egyptian mummies, or dinosaur fossils. Stories capture their imagination and make them feel a connection to what they are seeing."

As always sharing special memories with your children is our expertise. With over 250 characters to entertain at your child's birthday or event along with bouncy castles & vending machines available.

Helping Children Learn from Their Mistakes & Failures

Helping Children Learn from Their Failures and Mistakes. 

When I was a child, I was taught that hard work leads to your success. By the time I entered the “real world” this notion had been replaced by the concept that it wasn’t working harder but working smarter that would get us ahead in life. No, this does not mean that those with the higher IQ scores are going to have more successes than the rest of us.  What it does mean, is that those who are problem solvers, who utilize creativity, make the most of their resources and learn from their failures will often find themselves in a better position to succeed. I’d like to focus on the last point as something we should be teaching our kids on a regular basis: 

Learning from failures and mistakes. 

As a parent one of the hardest things to do is to allow your child to go through the inevitable failures life brings. We want to always be there to protect our kids from failure or from making those same mistakes as we might have oh so many years ago. We would much rather see them reap the rewards and riches of success without having to go through any pain to get there. 

Having a fear of failure or of making mistakes is something we all have dealt with. For some, it happens subconsciously possibly dictating a minor decision here or there or perhaps causing us to take the path of least resistance in an area of our lives. For others however, it causes painstaking anxiety, prevents us from taking risks and trying new things or even just being true to ourselves. Just as this fear lingers in us it’s also something that our children deal with as well. There will always be varying levels of this kind of fear as everyone is different. However regardless of if your child is a natural risk taker unafraid of failure, or you have witnessed first-hand the extreme disappointment after mistakes made, learning from failure is something that should be addressed by all parents with their children if only to try and shed some of the negativity that is associated with failure. 

As a little league baseball coach I come in contact with kids of all different backgrounds and skill levels. However regardless of where they are at on their baseball journey, I have noticed one similarity popping up over and over. They have been so trained to strive for perfection that more often than not when one of them strikes out they came back to the dugout head down, frustrated and maybe even on the verge of tears because of their supposed failure. The thing about baseball as with many other sports is, even the best athletes, the ones playing at a professional level fail more times than they succeed. Baseball players are considered great if they hit the ball 3 out of every 10 times. They may even make an All-Star team despite failing more than they succeed. Sports are filled with examples of how great success often comes side by side with failures and mistakes. 

Youth sports isn’t the only arena where we often see a fear of failure. Having experience working in classrooms both at the middle school and high school level, I would come across very bright students who would share this same fear of making mistakes. One of my first jobs out of college was teaching English as a second language abroad. In my classes, there were students of varying English speaking abilities, however some of the brightest students who had the most interest in learning English participated the least in class. We later found out that many of them shared a common fear of mispronouncing words, or getting an answer wrong as if this would somehow affect their English ability. As an English department, we made it a mission to make sure that our communication courses were filled with mistakes, and lots of them. If there were mistakes, it meant that the students were trying. They may have mispronounced words or jumbled up a sentence here or there, but these mistakes meant that they were putting themselves out there and in turn using those mistakes an opportunity to improve their abilities. 

To be clear, the goal shouldn’t be to brush aside feelings of anxiety over potential failure or disappointment from mistakes made, as these are perfectly natural and even healthy responses. However, it’s important to utilize times of failure to teach our kids how to work through anxiety and process disappointment using it as a tool for growth.  We should be teaching them that it’s ok to fail, because no matter how hard we try to protect them in life, at some point failure will rear its ugly head.

Fear of failure and mistakes is human nature and as such, it’s something we must consciously push back against when we see it in our kids. We should be teaching them how mistakes aren’t something that should be avoided, they should be learned from. The sooner we get rid of the cloud of negativity that is hanging over the idea of making a mistake the sooner our kids will be able to take healthy risks, challenge themselves and free up their creativity. We should be sharing stories of role models and icons such as J.K. Rowling, Michael Jordan or Walt Disney to name a few whose successes derived from failures. People who weren’t afraid to take risks and in turn made a difference in the world. 

Another thing we can do is to let our kids in on appropriate examples of mistakes we have overcome or maybe even a mistake or failure we are going through in the present. I think that as parents, we sometimes put unnecessary pressure on ourselves to be perfect in front of our children. To let them in on all of the positives but protect them from seeing any of the negatives. We know our kids better than anyone so we should have an idea of when it might be an appropriate time to share these mistakes with them. Maybe even share with them an example of something that didn’t go right at work and how you made it through to the other side. If our kids see us unafraid to fail it may go a long ways in their own resilience to adversity.

Finally our kids shouldn’t be afraid that they have to go through any mistakes or failures by themselves. Having that open line of communication where our kids know they can seek help in resolving a problems or just asking questions in general without fear of repercussion is extremely important. They should be encouraged to stretch their curiosity to the limits and take risks even if it means they may fail. After all, we will be there to remind them that failure is nothing to fear, and mistakes are not the end of the road, they are merely another stepping stone on their journey to success. 

Summer is Coming, and Now What: Keeping Your Children Entertained This Summer

Summer is coming and with it comes children out of school and underfoot every day. Soon you will be hearing, “Mom I am bored, what can I do?” It is inevitable as the excitement of not having to get up early wanes. So, how do you keep them happy and give them something to do at the same time? What better way than with planning a party with their favorite characters, just to celebrate summer? 

Give Your Children a Reason to be Excited Again

As parents you know that when children are excited about something, there is nothing that can stop them. On the other hand, when they are bored there is nothing that can appease them. So, when that excitement of summer is gone, it is up to you to bring it back. Plan a party with all their friends and invite all the characters they love. Knowing they have something to look forward to will help pass the days in between.

 Imagine the excitement they will feel knowing that Mickey and Minnie, or Sky and Marshall will be coming to see them soon. With 275 characters to choose from you are sure to find the perfect one or maybe even a few to make this day the best. This will give them a purpose to find excitement in each day up to the party and for a long while after the day has gone. 

Get Your Children Involved

While you are planning, get your children involved. Let them choose characters or design. Maybe they want a bouncy castle, why not let them pick their favorite. Involving your children in the planning process will make them feel like the party is all theirs. You know your child wants to feel like they are making the decisions from time to time and this gives them the perfect opportunity to express their desires and feel like they are making a difference. 

While you are making plans for his or her perfect summer day, let them look at all the options with you. Let them think that you are giving them what they want. You know you like to spoil them a bit, why not let them think you are spoiling them here too? They don’t have to know you are really deciding things, we won’t tell.

Enjoy Time with Them

While your child is having the perfect day, you can be right there with them. With our staff taking care of all the little details, by including snacks in your package you can enjoy the day just as much as your little one does. Whether you include popcorn, snow cones, or cotton candy, we will take care of handing out the snacks while you enjoy the smiles you have made. 

Join the Fun and Gift Smiles Every Day

Now that you have seen the smiles that character parties can bring to the faces of your children; maybe you would like to be the giver of the laughs. You can join the Kid’s Party Character Business and earn extra cash by bringing smiles to more children every day. 

Throwing a party and inviting your child’s favorite characters, does not have to be reserved for birthdays. Any day is ideal for giving them the perfect party, and when it is a summer party it gives you a break from the “Mom, mommy, I want something to do,” syndrome that comes with being home. You will be giving them a day they will treasure and yourself a break from the summer blues.
