Thanks to financial constraints, many families are now looking into more cost effective measures and destinations when it comes to their family holiday.
Camping is becoming extremely popular, and in addition to the fact that it is cost effective, many families are finding that camping is a great way of improving their family bond and relationship. There are many reasons why this is the case.
Cost Effectiveness
Yes, it’s been mentioned but the fact that camping is a lot more reasonable in terms of cost than other holiday destinations means that the family either has more to spend on daytime activities whilst away or less financial constraints during their time at home. This increase in available money (in either case) can mean that they have less in the way of stress and can instantly improve relations between them.
Fresh Air
There can’t be a person who as a child was told by an older relative or adult that the fresh air was good for them and they shouldn’t be indoors. It’s hardly a shock to find out that this is true but activities and sleeping in the fresh air of a campsite are great for increasing circulation, encouraging endorphins and promoting happiness throughout the family. Tie in (hopefully) the great British summertime and it is little wonder that so many people find the joy in camping to be infectious and inviting to them and their families.
Memories
Family holidays, whether you go, are a great way of making memories to last a lifetime. Camping brings about the epitome of these memories. Whether it’s an over-confident dad insisting he can put up the tent on his own and then, almost as though it were scripted, chasing it around the field, or the time you woke up surrounded by sheep as far as the eye can see, a camping trip can bring out the memories like nothing else. Families are built on memories and in the future, when tempers start to fray – those memories will act as a conduit for laughter.
No Distractions
One of the biggest obstacles in family time now are the various distractions which stand in the way of having fun. Whether because of work, the television, household chores or games consoles, it can often seem as though the family are too busy to bond or work on their relationship. Having a lack of these distractions can have the effect of almost forcing the family to bond together (albeit without hands being forced up backs) and encourages them to spend time together as opposed to away from each other.
In an effort to promote this distraction free bonding, parents or even the children might suggest a return to “old fashioned fun” with ball games, word games and just general conversation filling the gap where the distraction might otherwise sit.
Many family members might complain that after the camping trip they miss the closeness and the time when the distraction did not get in the way of family time and many alter the way they manage their time at home as a result.

For many people, the thought of having children is an exciting time, where they start to plan the ways they will instill values, morals and traditions to their kids as well as passing on their passions.
Passing on your love of your horses is more than a simple labour of love; it’s essential in order to continue the various sports, activities and care of horses. So how do you promote your passion of horses?
The Fun Factor
It almost seems too good to be true but making any activity more fun for a child will ultimately make them want to be a part of it. This is why so many parent adopt the “aeroplane game” when trying to entice a toddler into eating vegetables and it is certainly a tactic worth trying at this stage.
Luckily for you, children are naturally curious about animals and a cute pony nuzzling on their ear or eating a carrot from their hands in a petting zoo or farm is a great place to start feeding their interest.
Seeing you then interacting with your horses and having a grand old time of it is sure to win them over.
It’s also well worth finding a tame pony in your yard on your equestrian property to give your little one a short and safe ride as you look on.
Afterwards, it’s important to talk to them about what happened and even assure them that the pony enjoyed seeing them too. Adding a “they can’t wait to see you again” is sure to be met with wide eyed wonder.
Find a good child friendly stable or trainer
If the first contact went well and you think they’re ready for some more interaction then remember where you started. Book them a lesson or let them ride with you. If your stables aren't particularly family friendly or you don’t have a suitable horse for your child to ride then you may need to spread your loyalties into another yard but the sacrifice will be worth it in the end.
Whichever approach you take, it’s well worth remembering that just as is the case with everything else they do; only your child can decide when they’re ready so take your cues from their natural behavior. If they seem anxious then speak to them about it, if they seem unsure about riding but want to pet or help you to care for your horse then this is a great start.
Finally
You already know this but it’s very important. Horses are your passion. There’s every chance that because your child has seen your love and enthusiasm they will follow naturally from that but you can’t force them to share your love and trying to will only make them rebel and less likely to want to be involved. By making their introduction to the equine world as fun as possible you’re making a great start but after that, it’s essential to let them find their own way into a hobby or interest. Forcing something on them won’t make them love it – they will just end up resenting you.
This is a guest post on behalf of Anna Wright who enjoys horses, equestrian property and the outdoors and is looking for horses for loan.

A lot goes into the development of small children, and the time spend in preschool is far more valuable than you may imagine. For most kids, it's the first time they get to socialize with a large group of kids their own age, and it helps them develop, both mentally and socially. As important as social skills are, they are still somewhat overlooked in some scenarios, but when a child is as influential as they are at that age, they will carry on what they learn here for the rest of their lives, even if they don't fully realize it.
Inside the classroom, children learn how to complete tasks and work in teams while following instructions from the teacher. They learn about time management and how to share as well, which at tools that are invaluable even as an adult. Outside the classroom, they learn to use their imaginations and express themselves in a safe and comfortable environment, where they can play with other children and exert some of the energy they build up during the day.
Making sure that your students have the means to decompress and have fun throughout the day is very important, and having the right kind of playground sets can really make a big difference in how they perform during the rest of their lessons. You have to ensure that you give them enough space to run around, but still have enough there to engage them, and keep them from getting bored and upset.
There is a delicate balance that needs to be upheld, and in order to provide your students with the most well rounded education and care, all of the pieces must fit together evenly. By making the academic side of things more intense, without the freedom to go outside and decompress, children are more likely to lash out and are less receptive to the learning process.
It doesn't seem like much, but having the right preschool playground can also draw in more business, getting kids excited upon arrival, and helping the parents get comfortable with the idea of leaving them for long periods, in some cases for the first time since birth. It's just as important for the parents in that respect because it shows then that you care about keeping the kids happy while still providing them a safe place to learn and grow.
If you are planning on opening your own preschool, or already have one, you should take a look at your outdoor recreational space and really think about how you can make the most of it for your students; you'll be glad you did.
Call (877) 777-3700 and let the super friendly team of professionals at ParknPool assist you in picking the perfect outdoor playground and school playground for you!

Theme parties for children are more popular than ever. Partly due to shrewd marketing of movie and TV characters, but also because of high demand by children for items related to their favorite characters, such as Spiderman, the Pirates of the Caribbean, Barbie, etc. – or dinosaurs, princesses, football and rock divas.
Whatever the theme, there are party supplies available to fit every budget, and ideas are limited only to imagination. Even the most traditional of family rooms or patios can be transformed into an undersea world, with fish, sharks, mermaids, shells – and sunken treasure - or the Bat Cave. From wielding pirate cardboard swords to cuddly animals for the wee ones to college or pro football and sweet 16 parties for the older kids – and everything in between - let your imagination run wild.
If your child is a little pirate at heart, a pirate party will be a thrill. Invitations can be burnt-edged treasure map scrolls tucked inside a bottle. Free templates are available at various websites online - a simple search and you'll find what you're looking for.
Depending on the design of your front entry, a “plank” made of sturdy plywood can be laid for little pirates to walk to “come aboard.”
Hang fish nets around the walls, with toy rubber fish, sharks, sea horses, etc. Make antique-looking treasure map posters and a skull and crossbones flag of black and white felt. An old-looking scroll spread across the doors with “All ye enter at yer own risk!" "Beware – Matey! There be Pirates here!” and “Dead Men Tell No Tales!”. These can be made by soaking paper scrolls in tea, and burning the edges - you can also “age” maps the same way.
A treasure chest cake can spill over with pirate’s loot: chocolate gold coins, candy necklaces, ring pops, and peanut butter cup gold nuggets. Party favor bags can hold pirate tattoos, eye-patches and a few chocolate gold coins. A treasure hunt, with hidden clues and maps makes a good party game, as well as “pin the eye-patch on the pirate” and a pirate ship piñata.
Pirate loot party favors can be held in a “treasure chest” made from an empty disposable diaper box. Use sand paper to rough up the exterior so that paint will stick, and then decorate to look like a treasure chest.
Each pirate guest can make their own “ocean in a bottle” using baby food jars or empty clear water bottles. They add sea jewels (loose “gems” and beads from Michael’s or other hobby store) water, a little baby oil and some blue food coloring – and they have their own little ocean party favor! Have an adult on hand to hot glue the lids so you don’t end up with “ocean" all over your floor or upholstery!
And don’t forget pirate grub! "Parrot legs” (chicken drum sticks or tenders) “peg legs” (fish sticks). Goldfish crackers and hot dog pirate ships will thrill hungry little pirates. Drinks can include pirate’s ale (root beer in a frosty mug) buccaneer brew (hot or cold chocolate milk) pirate grog (fruit smoothies) or shark blood - frozen cubes of red Kool-Aid or punch dropped into glasses of Sprite. Kids love to watch the "water” turn red!
Other treats include “octopus legs” gummy worms, “cannon balls" grapes, “rubies” cherries or strawberries, gummy fish and gold and silver wrapped Hershey’s Nuggets.
Another party theme that produces fits of giggles is the Backwards Party! For those on a budget, this theme is inexpensive but high on laughter and fun – and appropriate for both boys and girls. Invitations are written as thank you notes: “Thank you for coming to my Backwards Birthday Party on (date) at (time), we had a great time! etc. It can be written backwards, so that it must be held up to a mirror to be read – example:
Put the invitation into the envelope backwards and upside down, with the addressee’s name and address upside down on the back side of the envelope.
Decorate your party space by turning pictures backwards or upside down, party streamers and balloons on the floor. Put an “Exit” sign above your front door for arriving guests, print out “Happy Birthday” posters and banners and clock faces backwards. Or “Birthday Happy!” The inscription on the cake can read: (child’s name) Birthday Happy!
When guests arrive, have them walk in backwards and greet them with “Good bye! Thank you for coming to my party!” When they leave, say, “Hello! I’m so glad you could come to my party! Come on in!”. Yes is no – and no is yes! Have the children eat on a table cloth on the floor, under the table. The guests can even open the presents they brought - but make sure that they are old enough to get the joke! And don’t forget to take pictures of everyone with their backs to the camera.
If you have a digital camera and a printer, you can send each guest home with a photo of one of the most unique birthday parties they have ever attended!
Most little kids will be thrilled with a party theme of their favorite characters from the Yo Gabba Gabba TV show on Nic Jr. Yo Gabba Gabba's silly, lovable and brightly colored “monsters” are a huge favorite with toddler 1- 4 set.
Hosted by a character named DJ Lance Rock, the show is live action with cartoon-like characters named – and pay attention because to your toddler, this is important! – Muno, Foofa, Toodee, Plex and Brobee and includes animation and musical numbers that encourage little viewers to dance and sing along. Unlike most TV programs, Yo Gabba Gabba was not created and developed by network execs – but by two Southern California fathers who were disappointed with children’s programming.
Ideas for a Gabba party theme are easy as a good color scheme and life size cutouts are a big tip off to the theme of choice. Have guests choose a character and wear the appropriate colors - girls will most undoubtedly elect the cut pink Foofa! Decorations are key and since this targeted age group is so young, there's no need to fret over designer brands or super quality decor - except you might want to invest in extra sturdy napkins, paper towels and plates!
An easy, affordable theme party for girls is the tea party. Thrift stores have ball gowns for very little money, along with costume jewelry, boas, hats, etc. Have a bunch of gowns and accessories on hand for each guest to dress up and either hold the tea party at home or at a tea room. Even an ice cream parlor will do.
Second hand and thrift stores also have tea cups and saucers and tea sets priced inexpensively, and they don't have to match. Serve herbal tea with finger sandwiches of egg salad, cream cheese, tuna or even peanut butter and jelly – scones and cookies.
Decorations should be pastels, lots of flowers and white or pastel linen table cloths and napkins. A "butler" can greet guests at the door and formally announce their arrival. Activities can include making a beaded bracelet with inexpensive beading supplies or a makeover and fashion show, with lipstick, cologne, and inexpensive “fancy” hair ornaments. Be sure to take pictures of each guest.
The spa theme party is popular with girls of all ages from 6 on up. Who doesn’t like to be pampered? Set the mood with lots of white accessories: towels, scented candles, lights, table cloth – and pastel accents on the napkins, flatware and cups. Guests arrive in their pj’s and robes for a day of manicures, pedicures facials, makeup and hair. “Spa” food includes finger sandwiches, smoothies, fruit slices and dip, cookies and birthday cake. Have your friends volunteer as spa personnel at separate stations to apply the nail polish to guests’ fingers and toes, cucumber slices for the eyes and avocado facial masques.
Activities can include making beaded bracelets, flower hair clips or little potpourri pouches for their dresser drawers at home. Fill goodie bags with plastic mini bottles of bubble bath, shampoo, nail polish, cologne, hair wraps, glitter gel and lip gloss.
And don’t forget the music!
Plan well in advance so that you will have time to create new ideas for your chosen theme. Allowing your child to choose the theme, contribute ideas and help plan the party is a great way to make the party a family event that makes wonderful memories!
