When planning for your bundle of joy’s birthday celebration, it’s easy to get caught up with the aesthetics of the party – the overall theme, the color of the balloons, banners, party invites, and what inflatable play area to have. 

While visually appealing, designated play areas in a celebration do contribute to the magic of the celebration, let’s not forget about one crucial but often overlooked aspect: safety. 

At Party Baby Seattle, we don’t just create picture-perfect, Instagrammable play areas for your little one’s celebration. We also ensure your little one and guests are safe while they have fun playing in our interactive play areas. 

Here’s how we ensure your child’s well-being during the celebration: 

Thick, Cushioned Mats

Kids can get carried away when they play, which can sometimes lead to bumps and falls. That’s why we’re proud to offer thick foam mats – 1”  thick, to be exact – across all our party packages, from our original Party Baby Package to our Luxe Cotton Candy. These mats offer a soft, cushioned surface, giving your little one a softer place to land on. 

Only the Best for Your Little One 

We also prioritize your child’s health by ensuring that the space they are playing on is free from harmful chemicals. The foam mats that we use are made from 100% non-toxic EVA foam. 

The mats also have rounded corners and an interlocking feature, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your bundle of joy and guests are safe whenever they play. 

Before the celebration, our Events Prep team sanitizes the mats, ensuring they are from stains, dirt, or crumbs. If you are curious about how we create unforgettable parties, check out our exclusive, behind-the-scenes look to our party planning process. 

Complements the Theme of Your Party 

At Party Baby Seattle, we completely understand that having a visually appealing play area makes the celebration more exciting and memorable for kids. That’s why our foam mats come in a variety of colors, so we can match them with the overall theme of the celebration! 

Whether you’re going for a pastel-colored theme or a vibrant rainbow-inspired extravaganza, our mats are not only for your kid’s safety but also to enhance the visuals of the event.

What Parents Are Saying

“Party Baby Seattle delivered beyond our expectations! The children absolutely loved having the play set in our space. We originally booked the Sophie and Fawn but told team that our theme for our 1 year old was Hungry Caterpillar and they made the set up fit perfectly with little Hungry Caterpillars, stuffed fruit plushies and more! Definitely will book again and recommend to all”
– Teresa Nguyen

“We love Party Baby Seattle! Their team is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about helping make your party perfect! From planning to set up & clean up, working with them was the easiest part of the party. We used them for our daughter’s 1st birthday & they made sure the soft play yard matched our color scheme perfectly! It was a super fun & beautiful addition to our special event. We can’t wait to plan another party with Party Baby Seattle!”

Summer is not just about having fun; it is also a great opportunity to learn new things. Here at Party Baby Seattle, we are firm believers that learning can be fun! So, this summer, we’re excited to share some of the best educational toys that not only entertain but also enhance learning and develop key skills while your little one plays.

1. Water Play Tables

Why It’s Great: There’s a misconception that water play tables are just a way to keep children occupied, but that’s not the case – it’s more than just splashing around water! 

Water play tables are one of the best outdoor learning toys for kids because they promote motor skill development. Every time that they pour or scoop water, these actions test your little one’s hand-eye coordination. Plus, water play tables encourage children to use their imagination! 

Top Pick: There are many water play tables on the market. We suggest getting the Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Toddler Water Table.  

There are so many things to love about this water play table. It has a large footprint, so your bundle of joy can invite and play with his/her friends, and 13 accessories (buckets, strainers, and toy figures) are included out of the box. Did we mention that there’s a water drain plug too? 

But what really makes Step2’s water table stand out for us is how it encourages children to play. Every time your little one scoops the water from the main pond and pours it into the second tier, it creates a magical rainfall effect!

To top it all off, the spinners and ramps can be rearranged, allowing your toddler to explore the cause-and-effect of water play. Another great thing about Step2’s water table? You can also use it with sand! 

2. Outdoor Science Kits

Why It’s Great: Want to foster your kid’s love for science? You can’t go wrong with outdoor science kits. These fun educational toys for summer encourage kids to explore and discover the different flora and fauna! Plus, they can have hands-on experience on how certain scientific principles work in real life. 

Top Pick: One of the best outdoor science kits for kids is the National Geographic Mega Fossil Dig Kit. This science learning toy gives children the chance to dig out fossils, just like real paleontologists. They can excavate not just one but 15 real fossils, from ammonite and coral to a shark’s tooth.  

What we really love about this dig kit is a learning guide is included so your little one can learn interesting facts about each fossil.

3. Eco-Friendly Building Blocks 

Why It’s Great: Building blocks are powerful learning tools for kids! These toys offer a world of endless possibilities for your child’s imagination while fostering spatial awareness and geometric concepts. 

Top Pick: Forget wooden building blocks that only provide basic stacking. If you want endless creative possibilities for your child, get the MAGNA-TILES Classic Magnetic Construction Set!  

This award-winning building block takes block building to a whole new level by using magnets to connect the pieces together securely. This means kids can build simple to complex structures without worrying that they would easily topple down. 

If you are worried about the durability of MAGNA-Tiles, don’t be! Each tile has a fastening rivet for the magnets, a signature lattice design to prevent cracking, and is made from food-grade, non-toxic plastic. 

4. Garden and Nature Exploration Toys

Why It’s Great: Kids are naturally curious, and with garden and nature exploration toys, you can nurture their inquisitiveness. Using field guides, magnifying glasses, and bug catchers, they can explore the natural world around them. In return, they’ll get a sensory-rich experience they won’t get with a tablet! 

Top Pick: For your little gardener, we highly recommend Green Toys Gardening Kit! What makes this an excellent choice for eager and young nature lovers is that the included seeds are quick to sprout, making this summer project extra exciting for kids! 

Plus, the kit includes everything you need – pots (made from plastic milk containers), seeds, soil discs, and a trowel. We suggest investing in a small garden spray bottle so your little one can participate in making sure the seeds are moist during the germination stage! 

5. Active Play Sports Equipment

Why It’s Great: Summer is the perfect time for children to enjoy outdoor activities, and active play sports make it more enjoyable and exciting! You will also be encouraging your bundle of joy to engage in physical activity. And, if they have their friends over, having active play sports equipment can help promote social interaction skills, especially when the sport involves team play! 

Top Pick: Little Tikes’ T-Ball Set is a simple, kid-friendly baseball set that you can get for your future major league baseball player. We particularly love this baseball set because its height is adjustable, and the bat is oversized and lightweight, so your bundle of joy can always hit a home run! There are also five plastic tee balls included in the set, so you have a spare.

If you have limited outdoor or indoor space, you’ll be happy to know that this baseball set for kids can be easily stowed away thanks to its special hang-on-the-wall design.

6. Climbing Structures and Obstacle Courses

Why It’s Great: Climbing structures and obstacle courses also benefit children. As your bundle of joy climbs and navigates through the structure, they develop their strength, balance, coordination, and motor skills. Aside from physical development, they also boost their critical thinking as they find ways to overcome obstacles! 

Top Pick: Eezy Peezy’s Monkey Bars Climbing Tower is an excellent summer learning toy that challenges your little one’s physical limits and problem-solving abilities. They can climb, hang, and crawl —think of it as your kid’s very own jungle gym! 

We love Eezy Peezy’s Monkey Bars Climbing Tower because it doesn’t easily topple over, even though it doesn’t use an anchor. Plus, it can accommodate up to 150 lbs of weight despite weighing only 27 lbs! 

7. Educational Board Games for Outdoors

Why It’s Great: Educational toys for summer wouldn’t be complete without board games! Board games stand out from other learning toys because they offer an interactive learning experience that incorporates strategic thinking and even STEM subjects like math! And the best part? You can join in the experience! 

Top Pick: ThinkFun’s Gravity Maze is not your ordinary educational board game for the outdoors. As a matter of fact, it is a maze and marble game in one! So, how does it help sharpen your kid’s critical thinking skills and ties in STEM subjects like science and engineering? Well, it puts your bundle of joy’s logic and spatial reasoning to the test through 60 challenges!  

Each challenge card displays a starting setup of towers and a target tower configuration. Your child must use a combination of logic and trial-and-error to rearrange the towers in such a way that when the marble is released, it follows the correct path to reach the target tower. 

As your child progresses through the challenges, the more challenging the maze is!  

Conclusion

With these educational toys, summer becomes the perfect season for playful learning. Each of these toys offers a blend of fun and education, ensuring that playtime is always enriching.

Looking for ways to make learning fun this summer? Check out these top educational toys! And if you’re planning a summer party or playdate, Party Baby Seattle is here to enhance the experience with our range of play setups.

Ensuring Safety, Quality, and Cleanliness 

Party Baby Seattle is not just about creating unforgettable parties; the safety of your guests and little ones is paramount to us.  

Included in our party preparation process is ensuring every piece of equipment is in outstanding condition and meets the quality standards we are known for. One week before the event, our Event Prep team thoroughly inspects all the equipment in your selected party package, ensuring it is in perfect condition for your event. Our safety protocols do not end there! We also sanitize every piece of equipment; we prioritize your health and safety above anything else. 

Efficient Setup and Swift Tear Down

On the day of the event, our Party Baby Event Specialists’ day begins well before your party starts, sometimes as early as 6 AM, with a team huddle at our office to ensure everything is perfectly coordinated for the day. From there, our team heads out in all directions to manage the day’s events across the Puget Sound area.

Our team arrives at your venue two hours before your party’s start time, transforming your venue into a vibrant party space, wasting no time so the party starts on time and you can focus on celebrating! 

At the conclusion of your event, we arrive to perform a swift teardown with minimal disruption to your celebration. But our day doesn’t end there. Our team then heads back to the office to unload our Party Baby vans, often arriving as late as 10 PM, ready to begin preparations  for the next day’s events. Our days are long and tiring, with multiple events to manage, but seeing the smiles on our clients’ faces makes every ounce of effort worthwhile.  

We take great pride in making both setup and teardown an easy and stress free process, so your experience is enjoyable!

The Party Baby Promise: Crafting Unforgettable Experiences

Lauren Thomas

Hey there, Party Baby fans! We’ve got an exciting update to share with you today. Last weekend, Party Baby teamed up with the Mariners once again for an unforgettable event  – none other than the Mariner Moose’s birthday bash! This was truly a major league celebration. We were thrilled to bring the fun and excitement for the Moose’s big day.

Private Event – Moose’s Birthday Party Bash!

We Went BIG for the Moose’s Party

The private event took place before the Mariners game against the Cubs – and we won! Setting the mood for the day was a priority for our team. As a main attraction at the party, our goal was to ensure everyone had a blast. Judging by the kiddos smiles and laughter, we think we hit it out of the park. 

We went with the Super Luxe Ball Pit and filled it with over 4,000 team-colored balls. This transformed the venue into a whimsical playground with an exciting atmosphere. It was a huge hit. Kids lined up to slide down into the sea of balls or jumped into the ball pit, laughing and having the time of their lives!

Star-Studded Mascot Fun

Joining in Moose’s birthday celebration were local favorites, including Weebly from the Aquasox, Fin Crispy from the Fishsticks, Harry the Husky from the University of Washington, and Boom from the Seahawks. They brought their infectious energy, entertained the crowd, signed autographs, and offered once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities with the kids.

Mariner Mascot Friends Celebrating His Big Day!

The mascots clearly know a good time when they see one! They couldn’t resist the fun. They all took turns in our ball pit and joined the kids, creating unforgettable moments for everyone there.

Proud Partnerships and Unforgettable Memories

We are incredibly proud of our partnerships with the Mariners and Seahawks. We truly appreciate the trust they place in us to bring the fun to their events. 

Whether we’re setting the stage for a professional sporting event or crafting the perfect space for a child’s first birthday party, our goal is always the same. We aim to create unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.  

Whether it’s a private event or a quaint backyard party, Party Baby Seattle’s vibrant decorations, interactive activities, and hassle-free service can transform any occasion. We make it an experience unlike any other!

Thank you, Mariners, for having us!

Hey, amazing Seattle parents! Welcome back to Party Baby Seattle’s blog. We get it—throwing a party for your little one can be so fun, but the cleanup? Not so much. That’s why today we’re sharing our favorite soft play party cleanup hacks that’ll help you make your place squeaky in no time. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

Start with Spill-Proof Supplies

Let’s make life easier! Use cups with lids and straws, and opt for snacks in easy-to-hold containers. Think about including some yogurt tubes or pre-packaged applesauce. This right here is one of the best party cleanup tips that both you and your carpet will thank us for.

Cover Those Surfaces

One of the best kids party clean up solutions is to use wipeable tablecloths on your food and activity tables. They’re easy to clean, reusable, and perfect for our bounce houses and ball pits. Just wipe away any spills, and you’re good to go!

Stock Up On Wipes

Soft play birthday parties can lead to quite a lot of mess. Believe it or not, you can’t really control the little ones. So, it’s better to place kid-safe cleaning wipes near food stations, bathrooms, and play areas. These are game-changers for spot cleanups, and they keep the kiddos germ-free!

Smart Snack Choices

Snacks can create a bigger mess than you can imagine, so how about we ditch the mess-making food? You can try switching out cupcakes for cut fruit and avoid drippy sandwiches. Remember, soft play birthday parties are all fun and games to the tots, but for us, they’re about keeping those little hands and faces as clean as possible.

Designate No-Food Zones

One of the best party cleanup tips is to keep certain areas like play zones and activity tables as “No-Food Zones.” It’s a simple way to localize the mess and makes your post-party cleanup a breeze. But that’s not all. It’ll teach your kids how to follow the rules as well!

Stick To The Rules

If you’re renting one of our awesome Party Baby Seattle packages, make sure to follow the posted rules to keep everything fun and safe. It’s better for everyone and makes for an easier cleanup.

Set A Cleanup Time

Involving everyone to clean up the mess is one of the best party cleanup tips there is. Don’t underestimate the power of a half-hour post-party cleanup window. Get some upbeat tunes on and make it a group activity. Trust us, your future self will thank you!

Give Reminders

We’ve found that tots, some of the time, don’t really know that they’re making a mess. It’s our job as adults to remind them. To do this, you can praise those who are neat and tidy—it sets a positive example for others!

Final Thoughts

Cleanup doesn’t have to be a drag, folks. With a little prep and our soft play party clean-up hacks on your side, you can have a celebration that’s just as fun to clean up as it is to throw! So go ahead and enjoy those irreplaceable years without the mess of stress. Book your event with us if you want to make it even more special.

Hey there, fabulous Seattle parents! Got a birthday event coming up?

Hosting a child’s birthday party is an incredible experience, but capturing those one-of-a-kind memories while also playing host can be a real challenge. Trust us, we’ve seen it happen before.

We know you want to be in the moment so you can enjoy everything and not have to choose between being a host or a photographer. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of birthday party photography tips to help you capture the best of your child’s big day and enjoy the event at the same time.

1. Delegate the Job

Not being a one-person show is one of the best photography tips for parents. Consider assigning the task of photography to a trustworthy family member or friend. Someone who knows their way around a camera can help you capture those special moments while you focus on playing the perfect host.

2. Automate the Memories

If you’d rather take a hands-off approach, consider going high-tech. Set up a few smartphones or cameras on tripods around the venue, activate the time-lapse feature, and let the cameras roll. This way, you can capture the best party moments without even lifting a finger.

3. Prepare Ahead of Time

Before the big day, make sure your camera or smartphone is fully charged and that you have ample storage space. Believe it or not, this is one of the most overlooked photography tips for parents. The last thing you want is to miss that epic cake smash because your phone ran out of memory!

4. Identify Key Moments

Think ahead about the moments you absolutely want to capture. Perhaps it’s when your child blows out the birthday candles, opens their gifts, or takes that first bite of cake. Having a mental checklist will help you with your party photography composition and ensure that you never miss that special moment.

5. Get Down to Their Level

For truly engaging photos, try to see the world from your child’s perspective. Kneeling or squatting down to your child’s eye level can make your photos more immersive and visually interesting. This will also make party photography editing much easier, and you’ll love the custom Instagram reels you get.

6. Natural Light is Your Friend

Artificial light can be harsh and unflattering, so whenever possible, take advantage of natural light. Open up those curtains wide and let the soft Seattle daylight pour in to illuminate your pictures. Based on our experience, natural light photography for parties is so much better because you get those sun-kissed results without any filters.

7. Candid Over Posed

While posed photos are great, candid party photography often captures the essence of the event and the personalities of your guests. Try to capture people when they are engaged in activities, talking, laughing, or just being themselves. What good is a photo if it doesn’t capture the true reality, right?

8. Additional Resources

If capturing the right moments while also playing host seems too overwhelming, don’t worry. We collaborate with talented local photographers and can provide recommendations. With us on your side, you won’t have the “How to capture party moments” question hanging over your head.

Hello, awesome Seattle parents!

Welcome back to the Party Baby Seattle blog! Today, we’ve got a topic that’s incredibly beneficial for your little ones and makes your parties absolutely unforgettable—Soft Play! Now, we know that we’ve had some blogs on this topic before, but this one is different.

Today, we’re not just talking about soft play. We’re going to dig deep into the sensory benefits of soft play for toddlers. Yes, you read that right: soft play equipment at toddler parties can indeed improve their senses.

What Is Soft Play?

So, what exactly is soft play? Picture this: a wonderland filled with soft, safe, and exciting objects like tunnels, foam blocks, and climbing pieces—all designed for young children to explore freely.

It’s like a tactical playground at toddler birthday parties where imaginations and creative play activities run wild. It’s fun, offers loads of entertainment, and has lots of sensory benefits for toddlers.

How Does Soft Play Simulate Sensory Benefits?

Before diving into the details, it’s important to know that soft play for toddlers can simulate a range of senses. These senses include taste, smell, touch, and sight. Each of them plays a crucial role in how your child understands and interacts with the world.

But you already know that, so let’s take a look at how soft play at toddler parties can stimulate different senses.

• Soft play party buffet – Toddler parties with soft play equipment must have a wide range of dietary options to keep the little ones energized and stimulate their sense of taste.
• Textural experience – From soft tunnels to rubbery mats, castles, and more, soft play offers a range of textures that tantalize tiny fingertips by simulating and improving their sense of touch.
• Visual stimulation – With colors, shapes, and sizes galore, soft play helps develop your child’s visual perception, allowing them to have greater creativity and innovative thinking skills.
• Spatial awareness – The soft play environment is like a playground for developing spatial awareness as your child climbs up, crawls under, and navigates around the play area.

Benefits Of Soft Play For Toddlers

Now that you know how soft play equipment can stimulate different senses, you need to understand that the initial sensory benefits of soft play can help develop essential life skills. These skills include:

Emotional skills – The safe and encouraging environment lets kids take risks while trusting others and helps boost their self-confidence and resilience.

Motor skills – Soft play equipment at toddler birthday parties helps in developing hand-eye coordination and balance, which improve motor skills.

Social skills – Soft play at toddler parties encourages teamwork, sharing, and social interaction, teaching your little ones how to play well with others.
