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

Kids love these balls

Good for early Education PE

These items were what we expected. Perfect for dodgeball.

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!

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.

Very happy with the price and quality of these. I will certainly buy them again!

Great value. 4 heavy duty rubber balls. Comes with air pump.

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.
