Hey, babes!\u00a0<\/p>\n

These days we\u2019re ALL looking for ways to unwind. This was exactly why WONDR Experience was created! To give people a place to go to sprinkle some magic into their day to day life, after all! So let us introduce a new trend that fits right into the WONDR world: \u201ckidadulting\u201d \u2013 where adult responsibilities meet playful joy, where LEGO sets and coloring books coexist with work emails and laundry days. \u2728<\/p>\n

What the Heck is Kidadulting?<\/b><\/p>\n

Kidadulting is all about finding JOY in the little things and reconnecting with the passions and hobbies that made our childhood magical. Think of it as a balanced mix of Peter Pan’s never-grow-up mentality and the necessity of paying bills and doing the dishes. It’s about embracing the things we LOVE without the societal pressure to “act our age.” And guess what? It’s totally okay to enjoy Karaoke and jumping in a bouncy castle while nailing your 9-to-5 job. Spoiler alert: WONDR Experience is the PERFECT place for a little kidadulting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Play, joy and fun are also necessities of LIFE! This is why WONDR was founded! <\/span>We believe that wonder is the most powerful of human emotions. We believe it can<\/span> uplift, inspire and bring people together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mission is to bring wonder to as many people as possible, creating opportunities<\/span> for <\/span>human<\/span> connection, while sparking curiosity, imagination and joy.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We aspire to create a space where fun, positivity and inclusivity are central; a space<\/span> where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, play and forget the world outside.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<Why Millennials ESPECIALLY are Embracing Kidadulting<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nostalgia is Our Jam: We grew up in the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons, Tamagotchis, and Nintendo 64. Revisiting these joys is like a warm hug for our stressed-out adult souls.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Self-Care Revolution: Millennials are champions of mental health and self-care. Engaging in playful activities can be a form of therapy, reducing stress and bringing a sense of happiness.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Creative Outlet: Adulting can sometimes feel monotonous. Kidadulting offers a creative escape. Whether it’s crafting, painting, or building model trains, these activities can spark creativity and innovation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Community Connection: Kidadulting helps us find our tribe. From comic cons to adult only nights out, there are countless ways to connect with others who share our interests and passions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to Master the Art of Kidadulting<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Revisit Your Passions: What did you love doing as a kid? Maybe it was drawing, collecting action figures, or playing video games. Carve out time in your week to indulge in FUN again.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Create a Play Space: Designate a corner of your home where you can escape adult responsibilities. Fill it with items that make you smile \u2013 whether that’s a stack of comics, a box of LEGOs, or a cozy reading nook.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Incorporate Play into Your Routine: Who says you can’t have fun while adulting? Listen to your favorite childhood tunes while cooking dinner, or take breaks to doodle in a sketchbook during work hours.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Join a Community: There are plenty of adult groups and clubs that focus on childhood hobbies. From book clubs to cosplay groups, find a community where you can share your interests and make new friends.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Embrace the Silly: Don\u2019t be afraid to be a little silly. Wear that goofy onesie, host a themed party, or build a fort in your living room. Life is too short to be serious all the time. (WONDR Experience is great for a little bit of SILLY!)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Kidadulting Must-Haves<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Adult Coloring Books: These are perfect for unwinding and tapping into your creative side.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Retro Video Games: Dust off that old console or grab a new one that offers classic games.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Craft Kits: Whether it’s knitting, painting, or building models, find a craft that makes you happy.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Board Games: Gather friends for a game night with both childhood favorites and new classics.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Whimsical Decor: Surround yourself with items that make you smile, like fairy lights, fun posters, or quirky collectibles. (WONDR Experience is the perfect place if you love whimsical decor! We are literally your pastel and confetti covered BESTIES!)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Kidadulting and the Workplace\u00a0<\/b>
        KIDADULTING also fits in well with team bonding exercises, as it allows team members to break free from the rigidity of professional roles and RECONNECT with their playful, creative sides. By participating in kidadulting activities, colleagues can foster a sense of camaraderie and trust, enhancing collaboration and communication within the team. These experiences create shared memories and a positive work environment, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and job satisfaction. Who wouldn\u2019t feel a deeper connection to their colleagues after hearing the belt out WRECKING BALL by Miley Cyrus in our fur covered KARAOKE booths?!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        And WONDR Experience offers packages for team outings! Contact our events team if you want details.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
        Final Thoughts<\/b>
        Kidadulting isn’t about shirking responsibilities or refusing to grow up. (Join us on the darkside, BOOMERS! We promise it\u2019s a lot of fun!) It’s about finding a balance between the demands of adulthood and the joy of childhood. How many times have you seen us say: EMBRACE YOUR INNER CHILD! It’s a reminder that it’s okay to find happiness in the simple, playful things that made us who we are today.<\/span><\/p>\n

        So, next time you feel overwhelmed by the grind of adulting, take a step back and let your inner child out to play \u2013 even if just for a little while. After all, life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. And don\u2019t forget that WONDR Experience is the perfect place to EMBRACE your inner child (see)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Stay playful, stay awesome, and happy kidadulting!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
