Cold Weather Can’t Stop Our Playdates!

Posted on Jan 25, 2017

Going out in the winter time can seem unbearable often times. Because of the low temperatures and the elements that you may find, you don’t want to go out unnecessarily. This isn’t always good, especially when you are thinking of a child. They can get bored easily and if they are kept in during the winter often enough they may become stir crazy… and that is nothing good for anyone that is around them. There is something you can do though; you can plan a winter playdate with your child(ren) and other kids! Of course because of the winter you don’t want it to be outside, but it doesn’t have to be in your home either. You want it to take them to a great place, and that place is Monkey Joe’s in Waukesha.

There are some great things that you can plan when you're setting up a playdate at Monkey Joe’s. You are sure to make a great time for the children when you come to Monkey Joe’s but it is important that you have everything together as much as possible when you are planning things. We know that you can forget some things, so here are some tips that you want to keep in mind when you're planning the playdate.

• Let your child have a say. They know who they want to play with so ask them before inviting anyone to come… this way you know they’ll all have fun!
• Prepare your child. Letting them have a nap and something to eat prior to coming is helpful… they’ll be rested and have energy to play for a while.
• Don’t worry once you get here. The kids'll be playing and you won’t have to watch over them! Sit back, relax and talk with the other parents
