Ollyball Classic 12" Play Ball

Love!!! My little brother has bad eyesight, but these "balloon balls" float slow enough through the air so he can catch and throw them back with ease.

This popped within 5 minutes after following the instructions verbatim and average use.

Hello! I'm a postpartum doula who just came across an Olly Ball for the first time at a client's house last week. They have a 3.5 year old, but also a 4 month old. The 4 month old and I spent a solid half hour playing with the Olly Ball, and it was perfect because it was lightweight, high contrast, and promoted lots of gross muscle movement. I had baby in my lap, would bring the Olly Ball to her, and she would squeal and flail happily, kicking or punching the ball away - and repeat. To occupy a baby of that age for that long is unusual, and it is clear the family will use this ball for years to come.

My kid loved to color the ball, great material and the size is best to play indoor.

Don’t waste your money. I bought this for both of my grand’s, and it lasted about 5 minutes for one. The other wouldn’t even air up.

Lightweight ball, similar to balloon weight and play, which little ones love, without worry of popping. Larger size and lighter weight also mean it’s easier for smaller/younger children to play, helps build skills and confidence and less likely to hurt each other or items in the house. Kids also loved coloring the outside of the ball.

Bought as a Xmas gift for my grandson and after we inflated and he played with it for 5 minutes it got a whole in it!!! Very disappointed in the quality for $13.

Holds up to 8th grade boys in my classroom - no easy feat - all students enjoy it and ask to pull it out often during advisory. I then bougth for nieces and nephews for travel over the holidays. Can be deflated and packed, then inflated. Love it. Bought 22" mega planet earth one for 9-year-old boy at home. This one started deflating on us. Emailed customer service and Joe - a real person - got us a free replacement within a day. Thank you! So much fun for kids and adults alike.

The ball was great when we first bought it. It's the perfect indoor ball with no risk of breaking stuff. After about 4 months it stopped holding air though. We held the valve closed and can hear a leak somewhere on the ball. My little guy has accepted that it will live in a state of being partially deflated. It's a great concept, I hope they improve the design

You need an Ollyball!! We've had ours for about a year and love it! It's held up to a lot of HARD play with a toddler, kindergartener, and adults (indoor soccer, tag, keep away, volleyball, catch). A few months ago we finally decided to color it, which was a fun family activity. Unfortunately, our cheap, washable markers continued to come off and get on us and the things the ball hit. We had to restrict its use instead of it being allowed everywhere. A few night ago, my 18 month old toddler (who LOVES the "ba"), hugged it close as he ran with it into his bedroom with light carpet. His face was covered in marker, but the carpet was saved. (Whew!) Mom decided the ball had to be replaced. I offered to try to remove the marker. I reached out that night in the Ollyball customer service website chat for suggestions after my attempt to remove the marker scrubbing with water failed. They responded the next morning! They sent us a new ball and a new set of markers they were confident wouldn't run even after I'd sent in a second message telling them hand sanitizer had gotten most of the color off! They assured me that the Ollyball is safe to color and should not have had this problem. That's customer service! Obviously, we love the Ollyball to have worked so hard to save it, but after contacting their customer service team, we love it even more. Buy this for your house. Buy this for gifts! It really is everything they promise.

Seriously the best indoor ball ever! My daughter threw it right into a glass of wineI had sitting on the table able and it just bounced off. I’m so excited to have a ball that doesn’t make me fear for the decorations and nice things in my home! The ball is incredibly fun to play with. For someone like me who isn’t much of a ball person this is perfect! You can kick and throw it and not worry about accidentally hurting anyone or anything! 10 out of 10 for me!

Grandma gifted this to my son for his first birthday. It's been one of his and his older siblings' favorite toys for over 6 months. It is played with daily and has been deflated and reinflated many times for trips to other places. After heavy use, it is finally having difficulty holding air long-term. I suspect this is due to one-too-many, excitedly rough play sessions with big brother. The outer ball is in great shape and the inner still inflates. I'm super pleased with this ball and plan to replace the inner bladder to extend the fun. Highly recommend!

I purchased this as an Easter gift for my daughters (ages 4 & 10). It was so fun to play with until maybe the 3rd time we brought it out, and the inner ball no longer retained air for more than 2 minutes. It's possible we received a defective item, but I didn't purchase another to determine. I do not feel like we were excessively rough on it, so I would've expected it to last far longer. It was fun while it lasted, but not nearly long enough!

Um, not sure it’s worth paying 12.99 for a Mylar balloon you can color. Half the price point is more reasonable. I could just use a straw to deflate the helium out of any round Mylar balloon and inflate with air to get double use out of any round birthday balloon.

I had no issues with deflation. We even took it on vacation at higher elevation and it was super FULL and about to burst but it never did. It’s a ball that behaves like something between a balloon and a blow-up beach ball. I think it won’t knock things over if the ball is already on its downward trajectory. I watched the ollyball bounce off a stack of blocks without knocking it over, so it does meet that claim to fame. However, if your kids try to whip the ball at something fragile, it will most likely be knocked over. My kids loved it. Good for indoor rainy day play. I found it surprisingly enjoyable to use my colorful sharpie markers to color it. I almost wanted to color the whole thing myself. Be advised if your kids use crayola markers to color it, it takes a few seconds to dry and not smudge on other things. Is it worth $13.99 ? Mmm I think it’s slightly overpriced but not ridiculously so.

My kids love these! They are so cute and the colors show up so well on the ball. Would definitely buy again!

Does not inflate properly or stay inflated. Biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased. I had such high hopes.

This is the most fun ball ever. Played with my 4 year old grandson, my 35 year old daughter, and my 72 year old wife. In the house for hours. Won't break anything!

Our whole family has enjoyed playing with this (8yo, 10yo, and us parents). We keep it in the living room and pick it up daily to throw it around. We use a small souvenir bat and play baseball in in our living room. We hit it off our carpeted stairs. It's just such a fun toy!! It's also helping my boys get more confident with catching a ball. I'm a mental health therapist and know that my clients will love being able to throw this around in sessions. Thanks so much for creating such a fun toy. Lastly- our outer shell tore and they offered to send a replacement. Amazing customer service. This is definitely fun for kids of all ages and even adults! Buy this for the next time you need a present!

Our whole family loves the Olly ball. Parents and teens included. We play a version of dodge ball with it. Play a version of golf, how many kicks to complete loop around the downstairs of the house. Really fun. Comes flatand you blow it up. Straw is included to add air as needed.
