Meet Rebecca Groenow, Owner of Kidtivities

Have you heard of Kidtivities? It's a new soft play rental business serving The Woodlands and surrounding area! 
The inspiration behind this fun and unique business started when local resident, Rebecca Groenow, was planning her son Max’s first birthday party. She quickly realized how limited her options were when trying to find age-appropriate activities for her young son and his friends to enjoy. Around this same time, Rebecca visited the Children's Museum of Houston where she discovered their toddler soft play area. She was surprised by how much the little ones loved crawling, climbing, and exploring the play area, and she knew these types of activities would make a great concept for a birthday party.
