Holiday Play Ideas for Toddlers: Christmas 2025 Edition

The holiday season is the perfect time to transform your toddler’s play space into a festive wonderland. Whether you're decorating for a cozy family Christmas or planning a toddler-focused party, here are creative, safe, and joyous ideas to make Christmas 2025 unforgettable — all while integrating your new favorite soft-play gear.

Quick Festive Setup: 5 Ideas to Spark Joy

• Inflatable Christmas Balls + Soft Play Zones: Place your new 24-inch Christmas inflatable balls around your soft play area for decorative flair and safe bump-play zones.
• Soft Play “Snowball” Toss: Use foam balls or soft plush snowballs in a fenced play zone for gentle tossing games.
• Holiday Crawl & Hide Zones: Use your modular fence panels to make a mini “cave” or tunnel decorated with LED lights or garlands.
• Sensory Stocking Surprise: Hang small sensory toys (like soft blocks or textured ornaments) for toddlers to find during play inside the fence area.
• Mini Santa’s Workshop: Use a cleared soft play zone with a low table where toddlers can “wrap” soft toys (using soft fabric) or place color-safe ornaments.

Feature: 24-Inch Inflatable Christmas Balls

We’re excited to launch our new Christmas inflatable balls just in time for the holiday season. Each ball is 24 inches wide — perfect as large, eye-catching props or playful décor. These are bundled as 2 balls + pump for $22.95, and we expect them to be ready for pre-order in late October.

These inflatables are ideal for:

• Indoor holiday décor in playrooms and classrooms
• Photo backdrops for toddler holiday portraits
• Adding festive charm to soft play rental setups or event zones

Incorporate Your Soft Play Gear for Holiday Magic

Don’t let soft play equipment get stuck in everyday mode. Here’s how to make your existing gear shine this season:

Fence Panels As Festive Dividers

Use your modular panels (from the Soft Play Equipment for Toddlers collection) to carve out festive zones: “North Pole”, “Gift Wrap Station”, or “Quiet Corner”. Add LED string lights or garland along the top rails for holiday appeal.

Soft Play Blocks & Foam Add-ons

Scatter foam blocks around a “snow play” zone to mimic snow mounds. Use light-colored blocks with silver or white accents to build mini “igloos” or holiday forts. If you have foam slides or tunnels, drape soft fabrics like tulle or white gauze to simulate snow drifts.

Bouncy Hoppers Under the Tree

Get toddlers bouncing under your tree (safely). Position bouncy hoppers around the base of your Christmas tree for supervised play. The motion, light decor, and holiday music create a multisensory holiday experience.

Safety Tips & Best Practices

• ✔ Supervision is essential. Toddlers should always play under sight when decorative inflatables and soft play gear are in use.
• ✔ Keep walkways clear. Don’t block exits with balls or panels.
• ✔ Check stability. Secure fence panels firmly on hard surfaces, especially when adding decor or inflatables.
• ✔ Use soft, child-safe lighting. Opt for battery-powered LED fairy lights (no exposed bulbs or wires).
• ✔ Store inflatables carefully. After the season, deflate, dry thoroughly, and store flat to avoid punctures.

Let this season be your most magical for toddlers: safe, playful, and full of wonder.
