Rhode Island Novelty 16 Inch Beach Balls, Pack of Twelve

These beach balls were absolutely perfect for my daughter's first birthday party. They were a bit smaller than I anticipated, but still a good size. They are about the size of a volleyball. Sure, some of them lost some air and some valves didn't stay shut, but for $8.00/dozen, I won't pitch a fit over a few flaws. Perfect for party games and a favor to take home! Plus the colors matched her party theme perfectly!

These are perfect for a backyard summer pool party!My 4th grader wanted to have a pool party to celebrate the end of school, and we thought beach balls would be a fun gift to give out. These came, and are just great. They are fairly accurate to the color depicted, although I'd say instead of a light blue, the color is a turquoise. That didn't matter to either myself or my daughter.The blow up to the size described, and are the perfect size for a group of 4th graders. (Going into 5th).For the cost, the quality is great and definitely worth the price I paid.

I was a bit surprised at how small these beach balls were when I received them. They are a decent quality. All of them stayed inflated. If you buy these beach balls keep in mind they could be considered "mini." They are about the size of the smaller play balls that you would buy at a grocery store. A ball stands as high as my 24oz water bottle. I used them for relay games in our youth group. They held up to a night of rigorous play. The bottom line: small sized, but worth the price if you expect them to be small. Nice quality.

This is a total rip off if you need a ball bigger than 11 inch diameter. That is the size. They want you to think it is bigger so they only tell you the size if you stretch it out while uninflated. You have to pull it alot to make it get to 16 inches too. Sheesh. They have nice products. Too bad they are sneaky like this.

These balls are colorful and stay inflated, but they are much smaller than I anticipated. They are only 10" in height after inflation (about the size of a soccer ball). The product description "16" before inflation" is a bit misleading. If you are looking for a large sized beach ball, these are not the ones to get. If you're looking for a smaller sized beach ball, they seem to be decent value for the money and as other reviewers mentioned, they are packed individually, so they would be good for party favors.

We bought these for my daughter's first birthday --- a dozen balls for the toddlers to kick around on the grass. We sent most of them home with friends, but we kept one for our house. It's still going strong and she's 20 months now. She kicks it, sits on it, throws her weight on it...and it's still a happy, colorful beach ball. It goes in the kitty pool and has even been to the beach a few times. $6.99 for a dozen seemed like a great deal. And it was fun to see 12 of them bouncing around all over at her keiki luau. The toddlers loved them!

Ordered for party decor, but decided not to use so item was returned. They did arrive on time and were packaged well.

Bought for my daughters birthday party. The kids loved them. They all inflated without issues but as many have stated were smaller than advertised (I knew they would be so wasn't bothered by this.) they are size of a soccer ball and seem fine for the price.
