Just wanted to share with you a new favorite toy – the Waboba Moon Ball.

In a nut shell, it’s essentially like a softer, lighter, hollow Superball about the size and weight of a tennis ball (floats of course). It bounces like a Superball, including the crazy reverse spins that can make it bounce backwards, but it doesn’t have that heavy, rock-solid, knock-your-teeth-out feel of a real superball. My dog absolutely loves it and can happily chase this thing all day in a parking lot, or on the hard wood floors of my home, and I have no problem with bouncing it off doors and certain walls for him. The slight geometric surfacing adds a little irregularity to the bounce, but for the most part is highly predictable. I let some kids play “Ultimate Moon Ball” in a parking lot (Ultimate Frisbee rules, but passes must include a bounce) and they had loads of fun. It’s proving to be very durable as well.

Check it out – it’s only a few bucks… I’m going to pick-up a few more.
