This Is Your Brain on Fun

January 24, 2017 by Christine Nieto Leave a Comment

Think play is just for fun? Think again! An afternoon at Bounce ‘N Play may put a smile on your children’s faces, but the benefits will last long after the day is done. Active play positively impacts kids moods, mental development, and even their performance in school.

The ABC’s of Exercise and the Brain

  1. Happy School KidsAll about blood flow. Physical fitness improves blood flow to the brain, which means your kid’s cranium is getting more oxygen and glucose. What does that mean in the real world? Kids are more alert and focused, which allows them to memorize more efficiently and learn new material more quickly.
  2. Building blocks of the brain. Studies show that regular exercise builds brain cells in the areas relating to memory. Kids who exercise have better short-term memory and respond to things more quickly than kids who don’t.
  3. Crush that creativity! Are your kids artistically-minded, auditorily adept, or creative problem solvers? Exercise improves the brain’s flexibility, allowing kids to think outside the box.
  4. Develop spatial awareness. Studies show that interactive, dimensional play—that is, play that incorporates multiple surfaces and spaces, like jumping rope or climbing up and jumping down an inflatable slide—help kids develop spatial awareness, which allows them to understand fundamental skills like geometry later in life.
  5. Everyone works together. Active play develops social skills and leadership abilities. Kids who play together can tackle teamwork in other areas too, like group projects at school.
  6. Fun! Stress damages children’s brains, but having fun helps kids release their daily stresses. Bring on those smiles!

  • Give back to our community. This is something we always feel is important. We look for every opportunity to help the local community in any way we can!
  • Provide great service. Not that we don’t already, but we want you to leave feeling like you had a personalized and unique experience with us that you won’t get anywhere else!

5 Ways To Make The Most Out Of Your Birthday Party

November 9, 2016 by Christine Nieto Leave a Comment

We’ve heard so much positive feedback from our birthday parties at Bounce N Play! We do everything we can to ensure your party is stress free, runs smoothly and creates long lasting memories for your kids. But what’s the secret to having the best birthday party ever? Being prepared!

Here’s a few “know before you go” tips to ensure your party is one for the books!

holiday birthday parties new york

  • Sign the waiver. It’s required by each parent to sign a waiver for their child before bouncing. And you can get ahead of the game by signing it online! Have all the parents do this beforehand and you’re already a step ahead when you walk in the door.
  • Know the perks. Visit our birthday parties page for a full detailed list of what each party package includes. We have everything from a Basic Private Party to a Rock Climbing Extravaganza! Number of kids, price per package and extras all vary with each package.
  • Pick a theme! This is one of our favorite aspects of birthday parties at Bounce N Play. We want the experience to be as personalized as possible, so allow your child to pick out a theme! Whether they love Spongebob or Superman, we’ll have all the decor, food, etc designed specifically for that theme.
  • Book in advance. It’s never too early to book a birthday party. It’s the best way to secure the time and date that works best for you! A non-refundable deposit is made upon party purchase. Scroll to the bottom of our parties page for more payment details.
  • Get excited! We always encourage you to make fun invitations, call us if you have any questions or concerns, or watch a video of a birthday party at Bounce N Play. We are here for YOU!

As we’re approaching the holidays, there’s no better time for a birthday or holiday party! We also do fundraisers, group events and field trips. We don’t have any info on our website yet, but you can call us at (718) 777-7529 for more information.

Not booking a birthday party this season? You can also join us during Open Play hours, perfect for when the extended family is in town! Check our calendar first before you come, as open play hours vary by day.

Happy holidays, and let’s party!

Must Know Safety Tips For Trick Or Treating

October 24, 2016 by Christine Nieto Leave a Comment

Trick-or-treating is almost here! It’s time to start creating the perfect costume for you and your kids. Maybe you’ll go as a parent-child combo, or maybe you’ll spend all your time focused on creating the best costume for your little ones! Either way, just like we’re all about safety here at Bounce N Play, we want you to be safe when you’re out trick-or-treating, too!

kids halloween safety

Lose the Mask

Masks can really make a good costume great, but they’re also known to inhibit the vision of your child. Try to see if you can recreate the mask with face paint, or with an open-faced mask. That said, don’t ruin your child’s Halloween because of one mask. You can always keep a close eye on your little ones to make sure they don’t run into anything in the dark!

Plan a Route

Before you and your kids leave for the night, plan a route and show them where you’re going to go! That way you can avoid busy intersections and not spend all night out, if there’s a plan it’s easier to stick to it!

Wear Comfy Shoes

Ok, this may not be a safety tip, but it’s a comfort tip! This goes for costume wearers and non-costume wearers. Cinderella may have worn glass slippers, but she didn’t’ walk half a mile up and down sidewalks. As for yourself, grab some tennis shoes you wear when you come by Bounce N Play! This night all about making sure your child has a good time, and you being comfortable is part of that! Make sure your child is comfortable before they hit the trail for trick-or-treating!
