The Classic World paddle ball – hit it and the ball comes back by itself! How many in a row can you do?

This paddle ball game is a classic sports toy where a ball tied to an elastic band returns to the paddle after each hit. So children can practise hitting without worrying about the ball rolling away! The paddle and ball are made of safe materials and painted with non-toxic paints, and the pastel design looks lovely. The game builds hand dexterity and reflexes, and its compact size means it can go anywhere – indoors or outdoors. The set is light, comfortable and guarantees active fun. Repeatedly bouncing the ball improves coordination, motor skills and reaction time. From 3 years.
