Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The perfect introduction to Swingball for younger players. With this classic game, there's no need to worry about those big hits over the fence or into the flower bed, everything you need is right there. Featuring a ball swinging on its string and a solid base unit, kids can be sure that the ingredients to this game are always right there in the garden.

Play starts with the tether positioned in the middle of the spiral. Each player takes it in turns to hit the ball, one hitting clockwise, the other anticlockwise. The tether will move up or down the spiral, dependent on the direction of the hit.

The aim of the game is to get the tether to the top or bottom of the spiral first. This Swingball is great for all ages and a wonderful way to develop hand-eye co-ordination. Get outside this summer.

Younger players can learn valuable social skills by interacting with friends and family whilst helping to promote self-expression through play. It can also fuel an interest in sport, which they take with them as they grow and we all know that any exercise will build strong and healthy bodies. The benefits of active sports are well documented and are known to have positive effects on learning, social and physical development, fair play and sportsmanship.

    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    My 5 year old and (almost) 2 year old have played with this in the garden. Last week we took it to a beach party and it was a great hit with the children aged between 3 and 6ish. My little one did put his teeth into the ball so I may have to replace it at some point but I believe they can be bought separately.

    I bought the swingball for my niece Holly for her 5th brirthday. Her mother says it is great and suitable for 5 year olds. Holly loves playing with it and as it is also mobile it can be taken on days out.

    This was a gift for a 4 year old grand-daughter and in her thank you letter she (her mom !) wrote ....."if you'll pardon the pun, the swingball was the biggest hit of the day !"

    Really practical with the integral stand. Easy to store and move in the case. Great fun and as it's adjustable, it grows with the child.

    Completely separately, the way it's designed, it's really easy to wrap ! taking just over 1 sheet of standard wrapping paper.

    First Swingball
    Bought this for my three year old great grand-daughter. She loves it (and so does her mum) Good for developing hand-eye co-ordination as well as a lot of fun.

    Great toy for our 5-year-old boy
    Really fun toy for outdoors. Our son likes it and if I give him a good head-start he can 'win' most games against me.

    Better value elsewhere
    I bought this for my niece thinking I would splash the cash on the proper version for her rather than the £6 version that I saw at tesco. Wish I hadn't. Read more

    A great toy for pre-schoolers & school age-children
    Having been disappointed with a "swingball" where the ball didn't go round the pole, I ordered this one with my fingers crossed. Read more

    Very flimsy toy
    This is quite a disappointing toy. The base itself is not very solid so I would suggest using sand rather than water to keep it steady. Read more

    Impossible to play
    The box/base set up is fine and the quality seems good but that is all I can say in favour of this. It basically doesn't work. Read more

    Excellent Product
    I bought this product for my 4yr old son, he absolutely loves it. The plastic case can simply be filled with sand or water before play to stop the swingball from tipping over... Read more

    Biggest waste of money ever!
    There is nothing positive that I can say about this swingball set at all.

    Its poorly constructed and fiddly to set up. Read more

    great fun
    Bought this well over a year ago.
    At first it did not seem durable. As the whole this is made from plastic. Read more
