Here’s a fidget toy you can fidget with while you’re fidgeting! This bright, multi-colored ring expands and retracts, from 5" dia to just under 10”, and works well as a flying disc or halo-like headpiece. Its shapes, colors and movements will keep active minds and hands occupied for hours. Easy to store or slip into a bag, at about 1/2” thick.

And we say that with a history of silly that’s virtually unmatched. You slip on this pair of lens-less glasses with the tiny bucket and ball on a string attached, and try, while looking like a demented chipmunk, to swing the little ball on its cord and drop it into the cup. With the classic styled black glasses, blue basket and orange ball, you will be filmed on a smart phone, it will be put on social media, and you will be famous for it for the rest of your life. Best to order a couple so you’re not alone.

Newtonian demonstrator for science teachers. Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton's Cradle - a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely touching balls swings into the others, and the ball at the opposite end reacts to the collision. The 11/16" dia balls in the all-metal frame 6-1/2" high x 4" x 4-1/4" will collide about 30 times. Awesome. Even more awesome that we paid someone to count the bounces just for you! (Unpacking note: Less awesome if you just yank it out by the suspension lines and pull a couple of balls loose. Be gentle.)

Never miss the ball with your paddle again. These jumbo ping pong balls are just the thing for the table tennis challenged. At 2-1/2" they are a little tough to bounce into those red cups you all love to play games with but we know you will try. Our each is a box of (3).

You could be, and you don’t even need electricity. These extremely old-school pinball games use just (6) little steel balls and gravity, which is pretty much everywhere, as we’ve discovered. Measure 9-7/8" x 5-1/4" under clear plastic with a spring-loaded plunger and 15 ways to score. No electricity means no TILT light, so you can tilt to your heart’s content if things aren’t bouncing your way. You pick the Hi-Score traditional game or the Treasure Hunt game with undersea creatures.

We went to a Mystery Gift Ball once and it was nothing like Eyes Wide Shut. This ball isn’t, either. It’s made of paper, and looks like an old cartoon “BOOM” bomb, black and 5” dia. It’s filled with (5) toys, like a mini pinata, but you don’t whack the crap out of this one. You peel it open to reveal the gifts. Then again, you could probably whack the crap out of it if you wanted to. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

This sleeve of (6) orange table tennis-like balls is actually labeled for the campus-inspired game that involves some of the things associated with Ping-Pong, but not the net or paddles. You don’t even really need the green table, come to think of it. We wouldn’t use these balls for actual table tennis, but for the other game with red cups and foamy beverages, they’re perfect. Not that we condone that sort of behavior, unless we’re invited.

You serious about table tennis? If so, and you’re not into standard white, here’s a sleeve of (6) orange Shield 101 balls, regulation size, 40mm (a touch over 1-1/2”) dia, manufactured in Shanghai since 1928. Also great for another table game with red cups, but we don’t condone that sort of thing, unless we’re invited. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts and Contains a Ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Funny that the nicknames we gave the McGill brothers at the end of the alley would become standard procedure in volleyball. We haven’t talked to Bump or Spike in years, but we’ve played a lot of pool volleyball. You too? Then it must be time for a new ball. This one’s a beauty—standard size (APPROX 8"), covered in soft fabric with an orange and green beach pattern, and specifically designed for water. Won't saturate so it weighs 8 ls. Which must be why Target calls it the Water Volleyball. Ages 5+
