Imagine your child being ripped away from your arms; being separately detained at a cold and strange place for an uncertain duration of time; that child spending his/her birthday in detention; how terrified and heartbroken those children must be. Those immoral things have happened, and they’re continuing to happen to these refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers. 💔

Last Saturday, we had the immense honor of joining @thisisabouthumanity in helping those separated / reunited children and families w @immdef_lawcenter have a proper celebration, for the Best Birthday Ever! They were showered with gifts, activities, food, and *mostly* love. Angels-on-earth @zoe.winkler.reinis and @elsamariecollins dreamed up this incredibly heartfelt vision, and with the generous help of @teambutterinc @zoekasiske and many more friends, that vision became a beautiful reality. Grateful to @rhiannondourado for reaching out about this mission. The smiles on those children’s faces—priceless.❤️🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@thisisabouthumanity is a powerful movement dedicated to supporting the needs of migrant families affected by the US/Mexico border crisis, on both sides. Heart wrenching to know that some of those children may end up detained again, and again. Visit @thisisabouthumanity to help amplify the dialogue, and join in the efforts to help make a social and physical impact. 🙏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When @kennyg is rehearsing his solo @theforum for Kanye’s first Sunday Service, you share the music with the world. #JesusIsKing 🙌🏼 Swipe once and just listen to that magic. *chills*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the raddest experiences yet. Honored for the opportunity to create this private play space for Kanye + his crew. 🙏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love you @mindyweiss @laurenkshap_mindyweiss. Grateful to you and the team for always trusting and encouraging us; for giving us the courage and opportunities; to make what we believed impossible yesterday, possible today. 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who doesn’t love a good view? 👀 Loving this view from the top of Zhuri’s ombré slide into the ball pit. Check out all that pretty pastel goodness—the iridescent chandeliers above the dance floor, all the way to the merch shop! 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy 5th birthday to this very special girl! Honored to have celebrated in-person a few days early, and excited to celebrate again in spirit today. 🙌🏼💖 #AllThingsZhuri ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@triciasmithbrown and team produced this beautiful and thoughtful party, and every detail was 👌🏼. We loved designing and building this custom ombré slide activation, and doubly loved seeing Zhuri slide into five in style with friends and family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’d never been to a bat mitzvah until several months ago, when we got to create a huge custom ball pit for one of my all-time favorite actors. On multiple levels, it was one of the most memorable and incredible events I’d ever been to and a part of. 🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This past weekend, we got to take part in another beautiful bat mitzvah, and we had so much fun working with @lapartystylists on this ELLAbration! Check out all the impressive stops on their feed, like synchronized swimmers, musical performances, the merch store, and so many other gorgeous deets. 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We created a classic, all-white “bELLA of the ball” pit for this special gal, complete with an aerial photo booth, and custom clean white backdrop with rose gold mirrored acrylic. Worked with the best team to make this happen @creativeamme @gold.frame @lovethiswayla 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What is Soft Play?
Soft play in a nutshell:
- Foam-padded play equipment for crawlers to five-year-olds
- Creates a structured, stimulating, and safe play environment
- Stimulates and develops physical dexterity and literacy*
- Greatly beneficial for children with special/development needs
- Most importantly, hours of interactive entertainment
A little story about why you should soft play:
Have you ever imagined? You’re at a toddler’s birthday party, and the kiddos are not screaming and sweating in a ginormous jumper. You’re sitting through an entire wedding ceremony or reception, and your (or someone else’s) children are not interrupting the vows or first dance. You’re enjoying a fragrant glass of Cabernet, schmoozing at your family-friendly corporate holiday event, and your littles are not tugging on your gown because they’re bored and “want to go home–now!” You’re buying thousands…no, several thousands of dollars worth of baby/toddler equipment and toys within the seriously-quick span of one to five years, and your tots are not rapidly getting tired of and not rapidly outgrowing those top-rated, “must-have” items.
We have. We’ve imagined, because we’ve been there. Our toddlers have been innocent-bystanders-turned-casualties of sweaty, screaming jumpers. Our toddler has whisper-yelled (you know that one, ‘rents), “I wanna go!” while the groom emotionally recites his vows–sorry, cousin Phil. Our toddlers have tugged on our new lace overlay gowns, wrinkled our freshly dry-cleaned suits, and lifted our satin dresses–in the middle of large crowds–because they’re “sooo bored.” Our precious tots have expressed the “need” for so many toys and other development-related items which we’ve given into more times than we’re proud of and can remember. To this day, we’ve basically handed away several thousands of dollars worth of baby/toddler items which our children rapidly “outgrew” and/or simply got bored of. If only we knew then what we know now. #ParentLife #ToddlerLife #StandTogether #KeepItTogether #ParenthoodIsTheBestHood #HugLife
Now, let’s shimmy down to how we may help prevent our dear littles from whisper-yelling, interrupting, tugging, convincing us to spend silly sums of our hard-earned money, and beyond.

Ways to (Soft) Play:
Below are just some of the types of events where you may find us or want to have us–the sky is (basically) the limit!
For the younger ones to stay active and entertained, while the siblings practice/play basketball, baseball, whatever-other-ball, hockey, golf, tennis, and/or any other sport out there.
Beach days are the best days. Whether it’s for a get-together, workout session, volleyball game, surf contest, holiday festival, etc., we provide a safe, shaded, soft play area for the littles to enjoy.
First of all, happy birthday! Are you celebrating baby’s 100th day or first year? How about a golden birthday, quinceañera, bar/bat mitzvah, or sweet sixteen, and you’re expecting lots of littles to attend? Please allow us to provide a unique, safe, fun alternative and/or addition to entertainment such as bounce houses, jumpers, and other types of inflatables.
Block parties are always a blast! Make it even blastier (yes, it surprisingly is a word–a 10-point playable Scrabble word, in fact) by rounding up all the neighborhood kiddos to mingle and (soft) play.
Community events are wonderful opportunities to bring folks together–neighbors, community members, civic leaders, servicemen and women, etc.–to connect and create a true culture of community. If you’re hosting or attending community events such as yard sales, holiday light displays/walks/parades, egg hunts, BBQs, beach/park cleanups, game nights, fundraisers, hobby clubs, bonfires, potlucks, bake sales, cook-offs, residential open houses, fire and police department open houses, school open houses, meetup groups, wellness fairs, or just because, look no further for your toddler entertainment.
More and more workplaces are shifting from promoting work-life balance to work-life integration. With that shift, company events (i.e., holidays, anniversaries, awards, etc.) are wonderful opportunities to celebrate the support that your employees and their families have contributed to workplace engagement and success.
Offer your farmers market shoppers (big and small) a break between the sundried tomato hummus and “we grow what we sell” organic pluots. Our soft play stations are safe, shaded, and slammin’.
While there are always a slew of fun rides and activities for the older crowd at festivals and fairs, let’s not forget about our younger crowd who also deserve a great time. Our soft play stations offer parents/guardians a breather, while the kiddos safely play, allowing them to stay even longer to enjoy all the exciting festivities. We’re happy to fully customize our soft play stations to fit your needs–5′ x 5′? 20′ x 20′? We’ve got your back!
Please allow us to create an active, safe, and fun soft play station for your tiny guests, so your adult guests may enjoy their tee and tea times!
ConGRADulations! These ceremonies can be long–very long. Offer your guests safe, active, and shaded entertainment for the many mini busy bodies who aren’t built to remain seated for long periods of time. Idea: Live stream the ceremony at the soft play station so your attendees don’t miss a beat.
With consumers no longer going to malls solely for retail shopping, family entertainment has become one of the primary drivers for attracting visitors to your property. Our soft play stations are ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces, with customizable styles and sizes.
For the many Parent-and-Me (and similar) groups out there, entertainment and/or breaks are necessary. Our soft play stations provide just that–an active, safe, and fun play space for your little ones to enjoy, during yoga, sports, support, church, education, post-partum, play, and others.
As a manager or owner of multifamily properties, you know that resident retention is key. Host engaging events onsite while remaining invested, hospitable, and grateful–events that allow residents to get out of their homes, promote a stronger sense of community, and reveal how much you care about their happiness. With social media being so prevalent today, your thoughtful events will create buzz, making your community stand out as the hottest in town. All that to say, our safe, fun, and customizable soft play stations are a fantastic addition to your family-friendly resident events. Keep those occupancy rates up!
Children of many ages and abilities have sensory processing challenges within areas such as communicating, socializing, playing, and learning. Soft play equipment can aid in meeting new goals and maintaining progress. For those in formal occupational/physical therapy, consider our equipment on days off, by recreating the experience right at home. Daily/weekly/monthly plans are available–please reach out to discuss one that fits your needs.
Of the many activities available to us parents for play groups with our littles, there seem to be less options for the littler littles. If you’re hosting or attending a play group, we have customizable packages to provide an entertaining and safe (soft) play environment for cuties as soon as they’re able to crawl.
Our soft play stations are a unique, safe, and fun addition to cater toward your toddler guests, for store events such as soft openings, grand openings, anniversaries, promotions, etc.
Family reunion, class reunion, colleague reunion? Reunite with your family/friends, while you unite all your littles for a great time in our customizable soft play stations.
Whether you’re hosting a special event, seeking a longer term rental arrangement, or a regularly scheduled rental, we are here to collaborate and help design age-appropriate, space-appropriate configurations to keep your busy toddlers busy.
Hosting or attending a viewing party? Is it sports-related, like NBA Playoffs/Finals, MLB World Series, NFL Super Bowl, College Bowl games, Sunday/Monday night football, Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, Wimbledon, Tour de France, Stanley Cup Finals, UEFA Champions League, or NCAA March Madness? Is it awards-related, like The Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Grammys, CMAs, VMAs, or AMAs? Perhaps it’s a TV premier/finale, a classic/new movie, Rose Parade, Macy’s Parade, or *gasp* even the Royal Wedding! Invite us to keep the kiddos active and entertained, while you all enjoy your viewing. “The show must go on!”
For a kid-friendly wedding ceremony and/or reception, entertainment for toddlers is a must. Please allow us to help relieve some of the wedding planning and configure a classy soft play station for the tots–one that will mesh (see what I did there?) right in with your wedding venue and theme, so you can help ensure all your loved ones are able to join you on your incredibly special day.
