As people get older they tend to neglect the child in them. Fun and laughs disappear from the equation for many. Laughter is truly the best medicine and having some fun will burn those extra calories you gain from sitting in the office all day. Try brining out your inner child with these fun ideas.

Who would think shooting each other with balls of paint would be so fun? Apparently many people do since paintball is on the rise. Paintball allows you to enjoy playing with friends in the wild and exploring your competitive side.

There are an abundance of paintball courses throughout the country. Many establishments offer indoor and outdoor courses with obstacles for added adventure. Most businesses provide equipment such as masks, chest pads, paintballs and guns. Many offer plastic coverings for clothing for additional fees. It is best to wear old clothes even though the paint should come out. Invite friends to come and play a few rounds or go and play solo against the general public at your local course.

Going to the beach is an often neglected activity that is fun for all ages. The beach is not only for relaxing in the sun. Bring your children along with shovels and buckets to enjoy making a sandcastle. If you have the money, try your hand at water skiing. Many beach businesses provide watercrafts for rental or tours.

If the water is not your thing enjoy the boardwalk. Cotton candy, saltwater taffy and funnel cakes will certainly remind you of being a child. The boardwalk also has small amusement parks to offer with rides and games. If you are visiting with that special someone, take a ride on the Ferris wheel to rekindle that high school sweetheart love.

For the older crowd trying to bring back their childhood, paintball and beach activities might be starting off too fast. Remember those days playing with art supplies and still ending up messier than when you played in the dirt? Pottery brings out your creative side while allowing you to get a little messy in the process.

Pottery chains are popping up across the nation including Kiln Time in the Northeast. Businesses such as these offer already made pieces that you can choose. Once you choose your piece you are ready to paint. After you paint and glaze your piece, the store will place your piece in a kiln, or hot oven, for your piece to dry and set. The usual pickup time is within 2-4 days. This anticipation for your piece will add even more excitement to rekindling that childhood feel.

While bringing back pieces of your childhood can be done through action, the most important factor is in your mind. You are always as young as you feel. Being healthy and active while having fun is important for people of all ages to do. Reminisce about your childhood but incorporate these new activities into your current life so that it can be a long and healthy one.
