AppleRound 8.5-inch Dodgeball Playground Balls, Pack of 4 Balls with 1 Pump, Official Size for Dodge Ball, Handball, Camps and Schools

Very nice and bouncy. Ideal for toddlers

I bought these for my classroom. I have different ages of students as I teach in a self-contained special education classroom. I have to make sure that the items that I purchase are sturdy. The textures also matter as I teach students who have problems with certain textures. The balls are durable, easy to grip retain the air and are fun for the kids and teachers too!

Construction seems sturdy and strong. The ball fill level can be low or high. The construction is not too hard so if you use it as a dodgeball, you should be fine. Comes in for bright colors. Comes with pump and need to fill the balls with. The photos enclosed include a small size ball for comparison.

Balls are great for kids - exactly what I was looking for to play outside on the garden or in the pool with them. However they are NOT the same sizes. The rainbow one is accurate in size but the green one is much smaller. It does not bother me or my kids as we will have fun with them anyway but the description IS NOT ACCURATE. Wanted to you be aware of that.

GF bought one of those cheap $5 balls from a bin at that large chain dept store for my dog. He took one look, pounced, bit, popped. He was SO SAD! He made us sad. We were all sad. Tried a couple more times with the same results, much sadness for everyone. I remembered back in the olden days (when kids were allowed to play dangerous competitive games like kickball without fear of massive physical or emotional trauma [?!] ), that the tough rubbery material of a kickball - oh, sorry, kicking incites violence, I meant a lower extremity powered dynamic elasticity sphere with high velocity potential and excellent rebounding capacity - may be tough enough for my dog to play with without popping in under a minute. SUCCESS!!! I bought two sets, 8 balls so that if they didn't last long, at least he'd have fun with them for a little while, I inflated them all, put them in a big box, got him all excited (he knows when I buy stuff for him that there's gonna be something awesome inside), and dumped the whole box on his head! Oh The Chaos! The Pandemonium! Many, many happinesses were had by all! Ok, the other reviews are correct, these balls may or may not be the EXACT size described, if for some reason you need a ball that is that level is precisely 8.5 inches, this is not the ball for you. In fact, even individually the balls are different sizes, the red and blue seem to be about 1-2 inches smaller that the green and yellow. However, if you want a couple toys to play with, these are made of the same tough, very elastic material as in the olden days of yore. My dog loves them. I deflated six and put them away, of the two remainders I pulled some air out of one so he could get it in his mouth enough to carry, the other I left firm to torture him with (makes him crazy that he can't pick it up). All in all, a great purchase at a great price. Tried both pumps and all 4 needles. Everything worked perfectly, and he hasn't popped one yet!

Unlike a lot of other balls on Amazon, these balls stay closest to round so that they bounce straight. Many others don't even start out round.

Our kids always seem to loose their balls or they are deflated again. They told me that they wanted to have a Gaga-ball because they knew from school that they can be used for many games. It's a kind of rubbery material which makes it much easier to inflate than for example a soccer ball and not prone to getting holes. Partially drove over one and it's still good, so pretty sturdy / strong. Our daughter was struggling to learn to catch and kept hurting her fingers, so we had one ball not inflated as hard, so she could catch it without bending her fingers. They are fun to use in various games (gaga, four- square, soccer, throw and catch, bouncing / dribbling, basketball), so we now only being one ball when we go camping because it works so good for most sports. The colors are very bright, they are much easier to find in the yard and bushes.

A set of 4 durable playground balls. Brightly colored with a textured surface for better grip for small hands. Good size for smaller children. Comes with a hand air pump & ball needles included. Good price for higher quality item!

Value for money and they come with a decent ball pump. Great for youngsters, good quality rubber with a pattern for grip. Very happy with this purchase.

These balls where perfect for the games of dodgeball we played at camp very happy with this purchase will definitely recommend these. They where like proper dodgeballs which was exactly what we needed!

Buona qualità

Very high quality! All my kids love them!

Are you looking for a way to introduce your kids to the terror of a sound that rubberized dodgeball makes? These are perfect. They even come in for bright colours so that the child can more easily see the doom that is about to smack them up the side of their little faces. I’m kidding. These things are so close to the old gym class dodge balls I have flashbacks but they’re a great product aside from the fact, the balls come out a little bit square due to the fact that it’s packed in a box. *** no children were harmed during playtime***
