I will be having family members visit me very shortly who have young children.

I was wondering if CF had any ideas to help me entertain these children.

I specifically came here for wholesome answers because I love my siblings but I'm not the best with children.

ps. Not kids, Children.

edit- young = Age 4-14
I have a big farm family

Please help!!

Last summer I rented a jumping castle for a family get together
I got a castle and a little water addition (under 500$ for the wknd)
It was a lot of fun. Even the kids enjoyed it

That's actually a great idea and I have the space to do this.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Hope it’s a blast. Let me know if the adults turn into children hehe
At our event they sure did

I didn't forget about you! Thank you so much for the tip, just like you suggested I got a bounce house and water attachment for the weekend.
The children had a ball! a couple of the parents were hesitant at first but got over it.

We made it an open invitation to all family, all sides, everyone had a good time, brought a dish to pass.
The family who came to visit me, ehh the parents were a bit stressed but all the children were super polite and had fun.

Thank you very much for that suggestion, it was a hit.

Thanks for the update
Those types of memories will last
For me it’s “remember the time” “ can you order it again” lol

Read the Bible to them till they fall asleep.

Just kidding. Twist some balloons or paint little orange paws on their faces?

Wow you really went big for the children!
Glad to hear at least the children had a blast
Whenever little kids come over to my home, i just give em my phone to play games on it and they love it
Also they enjoy cartoons/animes on TV which is what i would have recommended you since you have a huge family
