Key Features
-
Safe & Non-Toxic Materials
Made from high-quality, BPA-free plastic, our plastic balls are designed with children’s safety in mind. They’re free from harmful chemicals, odourless, and smooth to the touch. Parents and educators can have full confidence in their use, especially around younger children.
-
Crush-Proof Design
Each ball is built with a slightly flexible, crush-resistant shell that bounces back into shape even when squeezed. They’re tough enough to handle regular play, yet gentle enough for toddlers to hold and toss without risk.
-
Lightweight & Easy to Grip
Each ball typically measures around 6–7cm in diameter — the ideal size for small hands to hold, throw, and roll. Their weight is carefully balanced so they’re not too heavy (which could hurt) or too light (which could blow away outdoors).
-
Vibrant Colours
Sold in cheerful, mixed colour packs — including red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and more — plastic balls stimulate visual engagement and colour recognition. For themed events or personal preferences, colour-customised options are also available in pastel tones, metallics, or single-colour sets.
-
Indoor & Outdoor Use
Perfect for indoor ball pits, tents, playpens, or inflatable pools — and just as fun outdoors on the lawn or deck. They’re waterproof and durable, so you can use them in kiddie pools or sandpits with peace of mind.
-
Easy to Clean & Store
A quick rinse with warm water and mild detergent is all it takes to clean them. After use, simply scoop the balls back into their storage bag or bin for tidy, efficient storage. Mesh carry bags are often included with larger sets for convenient transport.

Pool Play & Water Fun
They float! Perfect for use in small pools under supervision, plastic balls make pool time more colourful and interactive for young swimmers.
Why Kiwis Love Plastic Balls
In New Zealand, where family life is active, outdoorsy, and creative, plastic balls have become a playroom essential. Parents love their versatility — whether it's transforming the living room into a temporary ball pit or using them for imaginative games in the backyard. ECE teachers and caregivers value their durability and open-ended play potential.
Plastic balls also reflect our Kiwi value of getting maximum fun out of simple, practical items. They’re affordable, multi-purpose, and provide years of entertainment. And with Aotearoa’s strong emphasis on early learning, these balls support the developmental play that builds cognitive and physical skills in the earliest years of life.
