PlaSmart Watermelon Ball JR
The Ball You Fill with Water, Kick, Dribble, and Pass Under Water!
Just fill with water and get your game on!

EXCELLENT FOR POOL PARTIES AND GET-TOGETHERS the Watermelon Ball JR can be passed up to 8 ft and dribbled like a basketball underwater.
LOOKS, FEELS, AND BEHAVES like a watermelon in water, this fun toy is nearly neutrally buoyant when filled with water, and durable enough to withstand intense play.
A FUN, UNIQUE POOL GAME combining components of football, basketball, and rugby in the water for age 6 yrs and up.
MULTI-COLOR DESIGN makes this an attractive pool toy with high visibility under water.
ENJOY PEACE OF MIND: Watermelon Ball JR meets and exceeds all US and Canadian safety standards; CPSIA, CCPSA, and ASTM certified.

You should never play with your food.
Which is why, if you want to play the full-contact pool sport known as Watermelon Ball you’ve got to have one of these balls!

Real watermelons are nearly neutrally buoyant: first sinking to the bottom then slowly rising to the top, making them ideal for all kinds of water games. Designed to look, feel, and behave like a watermelon in water, this Watermelon Ball JR is a smaller, lighter version of the original Watermelon Ball. Think sugar baby melon. With this ball, you can dribble, kick, bounce, pass, and intercept under the water. Unlike a real watermelon, it has an extremely durable vinyl membrane that stands up to the intense action. When filled its size is 6″ dia and weights approximately 4.17 lbs. The Watermelon Ball JR comes with hose adaptor, 2 filling needles, and instructions.

There have been many games that have come and gone, but none match the fun and excitement of watermelon ball. What is Watermelon Ball? Glad you asked. This full-contact aquatic sport is a fun and exhausting way to get a pool workout. This high energy game is played like an underwater version of rugby. Grab your best buds and form two teams. As your team tries to advance the ball across the pool to opposite end of the pool and score a goal the defense will use any means necessary to stop you: dunks, holds, and even flat-out wrestling. The PlaSmart Watermelon Ball JR is as slippery as its namesake, so there’ll be plenty of possession changes as you battle. Thanks to PlaSmart’s commitment to high-quality this ball will hold up to the epic battle!

If you are looking for a new toy to enjoy on a hot day in the backyard pool or a fun and creative pool party idea we would highly recommend this entertaining game that people both young and old can participate in. We spent some time testing out the buoyancy of this ball. You can also get some great exercise by passing this ball around the pool. After chasing it for several hours with my sister and nephew I can attest that I sure got a lot of exercise chasing it!

Just strap on the carpet skates and let the fun begin!

This pair comes in sleek silver color.

One size fits all.

Have your very own indoor skating rink!

Just like socks allowed Tom Cruise to deftly glide into the frame on Joel’s hardwood floors when his parents have left him home alone in Risky Business these fun carpet skates allow you to glide across the carpet. When our pair arrived we took a few minutes to check out their design and materials. The plastic slide portion is thin yet thick enough to remain rigid and the straps are robust enough to securely keep your feet attached to the skates. We followed the few easy steps and put each skate together. We just peeled the backing off the adhesive and attached the padding to the skate and secured the straps through the loops. The adhesive and velcro both seem more than strong enough to do their job. Then we simply strapped the friction-resistant plastic bases over your athletic shoes and we were sliding around the family room. See this product on Walmart.com!

As you can see even with my monster size 9 1/2 W foot these skates fit me. After gliding around the room with these FunSlides Carpet Skates on for about five minutes I felt like I had a mini-workout. So they are not only a great way to entertain the grandchildren on days when they can’t go outside, they are a great exercise tool for me, too. A great feature that each one has is a toe grip that makes them easy to push off and safe to walk in.

Overall, we found this to be a well-designed and manufactured product. I believe that these FunSlides Carpet Skates would make a great gift for elementary to middle school age group. Especially when paired with a few carpet pucks or other fun carpet game.

The Original PlasmaCar Product Description

Kid-powered! No batteries, gears, or pedals…just hours of endless fun. Sit with both feet on the footrests, turn the steering wheel, and away you go. Turn and navigate in small spaces indoors. Ride outdoors on sidewalks, pathways and any other safe, smooth, flat surface. PlasmaCar supports up to 220 lbs (100 kg) so parents and grandparents can ride, too. The Original PlasmaCar – kid-powered, kid-approved, and loved by drivers of all ages.

From the Original PlasmaCar Manufacturer

It’s like magic, but you don’t need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It’s so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. The PlasmaCar is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn’t require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel – just the occasional cookie or two.

It’s quiet too-the only sound you’ll hear is the sound of its wheels. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the PlasmaCar is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It’s been extensively tested and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards. Fully Assembled: 31″ x14″ x 16″8.15 lbs.

This PlasmaCar Reminds Me of the Good Ole’ Days!

A couple of weeks ago we received this PlasmaCar from PlaSmart. Although one of us was familiar with their products, neither of us had ever had the pleasure of experiencing any of their products in person. For our grandchildren, PlaSmart and their PlasmaCar were familiar. Which for us is great news, for them it was total excitement and anticipation of the test drive to come. But first, a little bit of assembly had to occur. We really appreciated the simplicity PlaSmart incorporated into the design of this fun car.

After mounting the rear wheels to the body of the car, it was time to mount the most critical part, the steering wheel. For those who are not familiar with this product, the steering wheel is also the gas pedal. When you turn it side to side, it creates forward motion. To traveling backward merely spin the wheel 180 degrees and once again turn the steering wheel side to side. Remeber to tighten the steering wheel nut firmly, making sure not to over torque the nut and strip the threads. Assembly only to a few minutes including double checking that the components were secure and seated properly.

So now the long-anticipated unveiling to the grandchildren. Excitement became the dominating emotion for the PlasmaCar’s new pilots. After a bit of practice they both whipping around the blacktop like pros. Each was trying to make laps faster than the other. They had a blast, and we were all happy they both put down the smartphone and game controller and engaged in healthy outdoor fun; like we did in the good ole’ days. Children weren’t meant to stay indoors and live a sedentary life. They are supposed to, not want to come in before the street lights come on.

This little car doesn’t appear ever to lose its novelty. Since it arrived, it has not stayed parked for long. We are all pleased with this well designed and constructed product that stimulates children to get out in the fresh air and exercise. Something that our grandchildren have now embraced vigorously. Thank you PlaSmart for creating such an excellent product.

These PlasmaCars from PlaSmart come in a variety of colors. Be sure to check them out on Amazon!You can get this product at Walmart, too!
