If you have a child between the ages of two and 12 chances are you
have either seen the commercial for the Hover Ball or have at least
heard about it. If not, the Hover Ball is an indoor toy that looks like a
soccer ball cut in half that glides easily over any type of flooring. I
have personally found it is as fun for adults as it is for kids!
For
my son's 5th birthday he begged for a Hover Ball so we ordered one
about one month in advance of his big day. They said on the phone it
would take approximately 6-8 weeks to get the item. Even though it was
possible that we might not receive the item until after his birthday we
still decided to order the Hover Ball that we had been hearing/seeing so
much about. Unfortunately, my son's birthday came and went without
sight of a Hover Ball and after seven weeks of waiting Hover Ball
contacted us and said they were canceling our order because they could
no longer get the balls from their manufacturer. Ugh!!
After watching a review of the Hover Ball I knew for certain I could just make one (or two) myself! And I easily did!
I
have never been able to use an actual name brand Hover Ball, however,
the one I made works exactly like I would expect a purchased one to. And
after seeing a review I think it certainly stacks up! It's very exciting.
You can wait 6-8 weeks or make one yourself by following these very simple steps. You decide!! It took me less then 30 minutes to make!
This
is a wonderful indoor toy for the winter when it is hard to get outside
and play. It would be a great inexpensive project for college students
for indoor hallway soccer matches in the dorms!
