Review: So stinking fun for something so simple! - It's a ball...
that sinks AND floats. I mean, it's not rocket science, but it's
such a cool toy! I saw lots of versions of this, but what can I
say - I wanted to support the original maker. I got the small
size, as we have a small pool, and I just thought it would be
best for tossing around and diving underwater for. I wasn't
wrong! My son loves to have us throw it for him and then he'll
dive and spin and try to catch it. Yes, I DO think he may be part
lab. Or otter. Not quite sure which. I love to throw it different
ways and see how it'll spin and curve underwater. It's rather
fascinating. And fun. It's gotten accidentally tossed out of the
pool a few times, and it looks and feels like it could stand up
to much worse treatment. The rubber it's made out of is Thick, so
I'm not afraid it's going to break anytime soon. It Does weigh a
few pounds, so, as long as you and your kids understand it's not
a balloon, it's a water-weighted ball, everyone should be fine.
No purposefully dropping it on a sibling's head, you know? Or
slinging it into someone's crotch. That junk WILL hurt, even with
the small size. For that purpose, I'd definitely supervise the
use of it until the tween years, unless your younger child is
crazy responsible and considerate. Honestly, the hardest part was
figuring out how far in to stick the water-inflation needle. For
the record, you gotta stick it allll the way in there. Otherwise
it'll just spit around the opening. Stop giggling in the back of
the room.
Review: Watermelon Ball – A Pool Toy That Actually Delivers - I
wasn’t sure what to expect, but this thing turned out to be a
total win. It’s not your typical floaty—it’s filled with water,
so it sinks and hovers underwater, which makes pool games way
more fun. You can dribble it like a basketball, pass it around,
or just bounce it off the pool floor. It’s surprisingly
versatile. Setup is easy: it comes with a hose adapter and
filling needles, and once it’s full, it weighs about 14.5 lbs.
It’s made of tough PVC, so it holds up well even with rough
play1. What I liked most: It encourages movement and
teamwork—great for kids, teens, and adults. The watermelon design
is cute and easy to spot underwater. It doesn’t leak or deflate,
even after hours of play. Downsides? Not really. Just don’t
expect it to float like a beach ball—it’s meant to stay
underwater. And it’s a bit heavy outside the pool, but that’s
part of the charm. Final thought: It’s fun, durable, and totally
worth the price
