In today’s economy, it is hard to justify spending lots of money for entertainment products, but without those entertainment products, what fun is life? And as important as our children are, finding exciting and energetic ways to entertain them can be a challenge for a parent. All too often, we see an easy way to get a lot of “bang for our buck” with a gaming console or computer games, but experts warn us all to readily of the dangers of our kids not getting the outdoor activities and exercise they need. So what kinds of alternatives are there which are truly affordable?
We’ve all seen the huge inflatable slides and bouncers at carnivals and at large school functions. And everyone knows what an inflatable pool is. But between those slides and bouncers being huge and extremely expensive, most inflatable pools bringing the image of an itty bitty kiddy pool to mind, very rarely are those considered to be real alternatives. However, don’t let those misconceptions fool you. Inflatables are a very real, very affordable and very possible alternative to those sedentary video games!
While you can rent those slides and bouncers for special occasions, if you stop and look at the pricing for them, and also check out the pricing for a real size inflatable pool, you’ll see that they are quite affordable. For little more than you’ll pay for a good gaming computer or fully outfitted video game console, you can outfit your back yard with a good selection of these toys.
And another benefit is the fact you don’t have to buy new games when they come out, or shell out major dollars for upgrades. Once you make that initial investment, your money has been spent. And spent wisely! Kids love spending hours outside and the inflatable pool provides enjoyment for the entire family. Not only that, but your home can become the “nerve center” for the neighborhood kids to come play during the summer months when all the kids are out of school.
Let’s face it, having the kids in one place where you can keep an eye on them, while getting them out of the house for some fresh air and exercise is definitely worth the price of admission. And because these activity centers are inflatable, that means when the kids go to school and it’s too cold to go outside and play, all you have to do is deflate them and store them in the garage. Not only does that make it easy to take care of them, but you can also have all of your yard back whenever you want.
Between that kind of flexibility, the fact that you are enabling your children to get the exercise and activity they need for good growth and having that in an affordable, economical package is a a real, true value for your dollar.
