Comments about Best Value Playground Balls - Set of 4:
Some of the balls, when blown up, came out in an odd shape which makes them bounce crazy.

Balls feel cheap and don't inflate perfe
By Darren
from Diamond Bar, CA
I was expecting actual playground balls, but these balls feel cheap and flimsy. The rubber is very thin, and slightly glossy, unlike real playground balls. Also, some did not inflate perfectly round and are more like eggs. Thank goodness we are using these only indoors, as I feel they would disintegrate if we actually used them outside.

Second Grade TOUGH!!!!
By Barb
from Kailua, HI
My 2nd grade students use these playground balls for 2 or 4 square, catch, shooting hoops and lawn bowling at recess time. The kids even had fun using our ball pump to fill them with air. Although the size was smaller than I expected, they still work pretty well for 7 year olds.

Great item for the value
By Jenn
from Clarks summit, PA
I bought these for my son's birthday treat bag. They were quite a good deal after a lot of shopping around online. They come as an assorted pack and were so much fun for the kids! Great, durable quality and the kids loved them! I will buy these again for my students in school too!

The children love the color and it gives the teachers another learning activity (Johnny can play with the red ball, and Billy with the blue).

Horable
By perlite
I expected a normal quality playground balls.These were about a step up from a balloon.They had no substance to them and am guessing that they will pop with very little effect. Additionally, there was no weight to themI would not recommend these for any playground

good value, not the quality I expected
By bethi921
These balls are thin weight and not the thicker durable balls that I expected. The kids dont seem to mind, but Im just not sure how long they will last.

good purchase
By kimskidkare
These balls are not as big as I thought they would be, but the children love them just the same!
Kickball anyone?
By Skowie1
from WI
I had a picnic for 60 second graders and thought these balls would be a perfect addition. The kids had a blast playing kickball (for two hours!), however the balls were not quite as round as they could be. They tended to go sideways, etc, but the kids still had fun with them.

Poor Quality Balls
By Dad3
Arrived in 2 days, but balls were small, cheap looking/feeling and lopsided. There is no way these will last more than a week each w/ my 6 & 8 y/o's playing with it. Pumped up, not 8.5 inches. Will try to return. Good deal if they were better quality. So wanted them to work out! Sorry, I hate giving poor reviews, but people should know.

Not so good
By Promiseland

The balls are not very strong. Most of them went flat the first day. I would not recommend this product.

Popular gift
By craftmom
from Southern California
I bought these playground balls as a party favor for my child's birthday party 2 years ago and they were a huge hit. In fact, they were so popular that I bought them again as a party favor for this year, too. The price has gone up a bit, but it's still a lot of bang for your buck.

The balls have very vivid colors that the children love. Great for kicking.
Affordable playground balls
By Sacredheartpreschool
from Red Bluff California
These balls are okay for an inexpensive ball. The quality was a little lower than I would have liked but the price value was a savings. We do not recommend letting children kick these balls.

Not A Good Choice

This ball does not bounce...it is made of plastic not rubber!
Ball Size
By Stanggirl
from NC
Ball sizes are a little small for my 4 and 5 year olds, but perfect for our younger children.
not all balls match
By bunny
from dyer, in
i purchased a 4 pack of 8" balls for the playground, the balls are all of good quality and were a great price, the only problem is, they do not inflate to the 8" size. no matter how i tried to inflate them, they would not inflate to the 8" size that was stated on the package. I was not pleased at all. However, they are a made well and are holding to the size that they can be inflated to.

Disappointed
By toyboat
from Los Angeles, CA
These balls are not up to the high standards of everything else Discount School Supply sells. One of the four balls deflated on its own the very next day. Two of the remaining balls are so lopsided it makes it nearly impossible for even an adult to catch it after a bounce from a short distance. Quite frustrating!

By Ikteach
The "best value playground balls" are a great deal. I had a limited amount to spend and needed to get something that would keep my students actively involved. The kids love the bright colors! The balls were easy to blow up with the pump that was included. One ball out of the 8 I ordered was misshapen. The rest were fine.

Balls come deflated, so you need to have a special pump handy. But considering the price, it's a great buy!

OK lightduty ball
By ChurchSchoolTeacher
from Elkridge, MD
I purchased these balls to take on a mission trip to an orphanage in Africa. I wish that I had purchased a sturdier ball. I'm afraid that these will not last very long in the setting where they are being used. They were a bit lopsided when we inflated them too.
These balls aren't round!
By Lukie
I was very unhappy with these balls. I wanted a nice size ball that was good for children who are learning to bounce balls, but these are warped and don't bounce straight! I'm very disappointed.
