The ball is manufactured from high-grade plastic rubber and nylon. They are softer than a traditional ball to make it more risk-free and safe for every player. The catcher is made of velcro-—non-toxic materials and is environmentally friendly. Each paddle has a self-stick front surface and adjustable back. Players simply stand a distance apart, toss the self-stick ball, and try to catch it on their self-stick paddle. The Toss and Catch game provides a great way to develop hand-eye coordination! With bright colors, the paddles and ball are easy to see. It makes a great gift & is perfect for the holidays, travel, beach, schools, backyard, the lake, indoor, outdoor & promotions and so much more!
