Description
This rubber play ball is printed all over with sharks, swimming in every direction across a dark blue ground. A hammerhead glides over the top, joined by sharks of many shapes and kinds picked out in shades of grey, sand, orange, olive and pale blue, so there is always another one to spot as it turns. The whole surface carries a raised criss-cross texture, like a classic playground ball, which gives it a pleasing feel in the hand. It is an inflatable ball, 12.5cm across and just 162g in weight, a size that sits comfortably in two hands.
It is a toy for play, pure and simple, and it earns its keep outdoors and in. Take it to the garden, the park or the playground for games of catch, bouncing and gentle kickabouts, then bring it inside for rolling games across the floor. At 12.5cm it is smaller than a football, so it is easy to throw, catch and carry, and light enough to tuck into a bag on the way out of the door. The sharks make every game a little more exciting, and naming the different species as the ball spins past is half the fun.
The ball is made from rubber and can be topped up whenever it starts to feel soft. To reinflate it, use a moistened needle and inflate it to 2lbs, taking care never to overinflate it. After a muddy afternoon outside, wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry before putting it away. We think it makes a cheerful gift, and it comes in a printed box with a window, its sides naming the sharks, ready to hand over without wrapping.
