OT: Air Popping Ball Up Toy?

[wendygrace]

Please help! My ds, 6, says he had a "dream" about a toy that pops a ball up into the air. He has autistic like tendencies so its possible he saw this somewhere. Any ideas of what it may be? He wants it for Christmas! Help!

The only thing that comes to mind is the Phlat Ball - it is a frisbee like thing that "pops" up into a ball.

Good Luck finding it.

I can't think of the name of it but my DD had one when she was 2 or 3. Th eone she had was red with a yellow funnel looking hole ot the top. It was rectangular (long along the ground) with a clear tube running down form the funnel, along the side , around and then popped out on the other side. I want to say it was around $25 and we got it at Target or WalMart. It's in the section with the larger preschool toys and the rid along thing. HTH

DS has one. It's Playskool brand. My sister got it at Kohls, but it's sold at Target and Walmart too. It has a ramp type system the balls roll down, and then the blower "pops" them up through the middle. It plays different music as it goes - like Rockin Robin, Pop Goes the Weasel, etc. I think it's marketed for ages 12 months +, but not sure. Good luck.

Above link is what DS has.

Here is a toy we have, but you pop the ball into the air yourself and try to catch it. He would be about the right age for it, but it doesn't pop itself.

It just may have been that playskool toy. He's really into balls and flying so... *shrug*

That kikaflik looks really neat! And he could really use something like that! Thanks!

It is a cool toy. My kids have had it for a few years, but they still pull it out. Their new PE teacher used one at school a few weeks ago, so that made it even cooler.
