So it’s still winter, you have been to Normafa for sledging loads of times now, went to all the parties hosted by your friends during the holidays,however you need to take into account that you can celebrate different events with your kids at home even if it´s winter, you can look for Marquee Equipment Hire where you will find all you need for any occasion, this is a fantastic idea if you want to stay at home on winter time; besides, you can get a lot of different ideas to do at home with kids such us: make homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows, go sledding together. (Don’t forget to bundle up and bring the bike helmets for added safety!),make paper snowflakes and hang them up in unexpected places around your home, use your phone’s camera to make a slow-motion video of the snow accumulating outside your window, make a graph showing each day’s high and low temperatures for the week. Then make predictions about next week and see who’s closest to each day’s actual temperature, go roller skating at an indoor rink that plays your favorite music, and so many others, so you can decide if you want to stay at home or you can look for a playhouse in town.

However, taken your kids to the puppet theatre and dance shows at MUPA, visited the museums but unfortunately the winter colds are going around and everyone is ill even though we got new Air Source Heat Pumps for the house, so you can’t just drop in at your friend’s house for a playdate.. think we have all been there … what to do with your toddler on a rainy and grey day, you know that at least you need to make sure that the roofs are okay for the rain or snow, but for this you can hire Roofers Tucson AZ or visit the https://www.rooftopservices.com/residential-roofing/ site, that are the best and really easy to work with.

One of the advantages living in a big city that you can find lots of playhouses for the youngest ones and thankfully there are more and more popping up in town to help us out when we need to wear them out a little :)

There are two-types of playhouses in town: there are the smaller ones aimed at the 0-4 crowd with lots of toys, maybe a few indoor playground equipment some of them even have ping pong tables, and I been reading at pingpongtablereviews.com those are great for middle age kids, there is also the bigger ones with the bouncy castles where there is endless opportunity to jump and bounce about till they are ready to drop. All these places normally offer to host your birthday party packages for kids. One of the best places to host a childrens party is at the Jumpers’s Jungle Family Fun Center.

As always I have divided the list by Buda and Pest and included an info section if I or Jasmina had personal experiences with the place.

Have fun!

The place has activities for the tiny ones all the way to the big ones (they have a separate area that has a billiard table (don’t forget to bring your best pool sticks), ping pong table and even Xbox.) And what’s really great is they have healthy food at the snack bar/restaurant, not just the usual junk food so is a good place for the people who watch their health with healthy food and supplements from sites like http://kratommasters.com/kratom-capsules.

Hi!
I’m just a little sorry to see that our plaster painting playhouse (www.gipszkorszak.hu/english) located in disctrict VIIth’s Gozsdu court (between Dob and Kiraly streets, 2 mins walk from Deak square) was not included in this otherwise wonderful post.
All the best,
Zoltan Vajda

As I said it on the fb page, I just didn’t even think of you guys as a traditional playhouse hence it just didn’t come to me but as promised I have now updated the article. Word press is acting up though as I couldn’t make the url live.
