According to research by Edelman Intelligence<\/a>, 56% of 12,710 parents surveyed report their kids spent less than an hour a day playing outside.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the rapid development of technology, mobile devices are everywhere. In general, this is a good thing and at PartyWizz, we predominantly believe that screen time can be beneficial and fun!<\/p>\n
