"The product I ordered I was better than I expected (i.e., even better than pictured), and I couldn't be happier. I really like the unique "Color Me" items your company offers (the variety and quality of selection is impressive, and the pricing is very reasonable.). I will definitely look to your website and/or print catalog for additional purchases."

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about 8-1/2" Spectrum™ Playground Balls (set of 6):

Using these in a summer camp setting. Kids like the colors and they work well for games like foursquare and kickball. Still new, though, so don't yet know about durability. They seem sturdy at this point.

we use these as playground balls and they always warp after some use and become useless.

Comments about 8-1/2" Spectrum™ Playground Balls (set of 6):

Ive had these for over a year now and theyre still in terrific shape. I am most impressed with their ability to stay firmly inflated but also that they aren't easy to puncture during use. It is a money saver to find playground balls that will last so long especially in the hands of children of all ages. I like that they come in groups also that way each of the kids can have their own ball. These are simply FANTASTIC!
