paddling pool or bouncy castle for 3 year old birthday party!

[bluecats]

More than 10 children are invited for DD's 3 year old Birthday party. We have quite a small garden, so I need help choosing

Big paddling pool with toys hook the duck type things nets boats...

OR

Small bouncy castle that 2 toddlers can jump on.

Taking votes now!

Neither -too much like hard work with 10 3 year olds - just do musical statues and games.

Bouncy castle for 2 likely to be a nightmare as all of them may try to pile on.

I would go for the paddling pool idea - assuming that there will be lots of adult supervision. Paddling and hook a duck opportunities all round, assuming good weather (but would also need to be good for bouncy castle)

Agree with nickschick.
Too many opportunities for disaster with that age/number combination without bringing water or bouncing into the mix
