Play Nook Adventures

03/16/2025

If you've watched me set up a play nook, you might catch me pausing motion to evaluate the equipment.

Every play area is strategically set up for flow of the kids to move through it. Think obstacle course style, or little suggestions to encourage how the kids play.

A slide leading to a ball pit splash that leads to climb stairs to a second slide into a soft block tower to a crawl over a rainbow to travel up a small step to wiggle through a tunnel and back down the slide.

It truly is all by design to maximize the fun.

🍀Play Nook Adventures is a proud sponsor of the Frugal Frolic 5k!

My husband and I are race directors at Athena Clydesdale Racing and adore bringing the running community together for different kinds of races.

The Frugal Frolic 5k is an early spring race designed to give you a base time for the rest of your running season. The most inexpensive, no-frills 5k you find that still provides a timed race.

I hope to see you at the start line!

The ball pit was a popular spot during yesterday’s Stay and Play.

Thank you to everyone who came for a morning of coffee and play! It was busier than expected and I so appreciate your patience.

Should we do it again?

☔️ Wet Weather Policy 🌧

A few reminders about wet weather as you start planning your spring events:

☔️ We cannot set up outdoors if there is a chance of rain, however small.

☔️ We cannot set up outdoors if the ground is wet.

☔️ We cannot set up outdoors if it is currently raining, but it should clear in the next 10, 20, etc minutes.

I strongly encourage you to have a rainy day backup plan as you will lose your deposit if we are surprised by rain/wet ground - and you know how often that happens.

Thank you for having a back up plan, so we can still bring the fun to you!

🌞The Skies of Blue Mega Play Nook was really showing off during this First Trip Around The Sun party in November.

Gorgeous event space, extremely kind parents, and a happy one year old made for an incredible day full of play.

The Skies of Blue Play Nook (in mega) combines whites and blues, rockers, hoppers, tunnels, climbers, slides, balance beams, and ball pits, for an epic play area the kids will love and remember.

🎉A wonderful review from a ball pit only rental we did locally back in November.

Thank you for the incredibly kind words!

The ball pit joy is real.

Before getting to take their new friends home, each child gets to give her friend a check up.

With our Adopt-a-Stuffie add on, we provide the themed stuffie for each child at your party to adopt, the vet instruments, and a check up sheet.

After new pets get the all clear, they can move on to the soft play scavenger hunt!
