What is this new trend of beige and white? It’s now transferred to bouncy castles!!!

The cleaning 🙊🙊🙊

That's going to look so grubby so quickly

SisterMichaelsHabit · 27/09/2023 21:07

Oh god the poor children. The grey ball pits were heart breaking enough. These fucking selfish insta-parents who just want things they like the look of instead of thinking about what their child would want.

Can you imagine being a 5 year old, so excited that you're getting a bouncy castle for your birthday, wondering if it's going to be Paw Patrol or Frozen or Cars, then you go outside (and your parents have a phone camera shoved in your face for recording your reaction) and THIS ABOMINATION IS YOUR BOUNCY CASTLE?!

And if you cry your parents will put "child reacts to birthday treat" on TikTok.

All for the social media aesthetic.
Boring.
Like the grey trend. Cold, dull, boring.

It looks like something Posh and Becks would have had at their wedding.

Exactly. Disgraceful.

Oooh maybe it comes with pens so they can colour it in themselves? Like those teddies they used to have in the argos catalogue

sleepyscientist · 27/09/2023 21:09

It's aimed at weddings as a treat for the kids but also blending into the back of pictures

Welcometotheocbitch · 27/09/2023 21:09

What’s worse is I’ve seen them now being referred to as a Bounce House

Do you mean so they can photo shop it so the kids are just floating? Because that won't blend in.

PinkMoscatoLover · 27/09/2023 21:10

I really like the grey and white theme, I must be the only one😂 I’d have to get a Peppa Pig one for DD though but I do like it!

Sunshinebuttercupsrainbows · 27/09/2023 21:10

These are almost always used at weddings like a pp said, so there aren’t garish colours in the background.

But surely if this is true it would actually be the worst colour for a wedding bouncy castle? Every time the bride is snapped anywhere in front of it she'll look like a floating head and arms! 🤣

SirenSays · 27/09/2023 21:14

Throw on some washable paint and let them bounce!

KeepNameChanging81 · 27/09/2023 21:23

Nah seen them at regular bday parties!!! Don’t really want to post pics but will see if any on their Facebook page that isn’t identifying!

White soft play 😱

That would have made things even worse the time we were at soft play and a kid shat in the ball pool.

KeepNameChanging81 · 27/09/2023 22:38

White and brown soft play

ShutTheDoorBabe · 27/09/2023 23:15

It reminds me of that Mr. Soft mints advert from the 90s.

White soft play!!

It looks like its been painted if you zoom in.

MichelleScarn · 27/09/2023 23:40

Go crazy kids in this fun fun ball pit...

Reminds me of something similar when I was younger.
it was called the moon walk.

LittlePlumTree · 27/09/2023 23:58

I like them but only seen them used for weddings though
