Editorial Review

Have some fun with your friend as you whack the mini-spiderball with your spider-web paddle. Is your friend quick enough to send the spider flying back to you? He or she will have to be quick to nab the flying ball! The paddle is made of sturdy plastic 10.5 inches long with a slimy and very bouncy plastic web. The mini-spiderball (1 inch in diameter) has long creepy legs and flies through the air like an arachnid rocket when launched from the wacky web paddle. It makes for a rousing and quick game. See how far you can get the spider to go. --Margaret Quinn

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique toy for almost all ages., September 20, 1999

The rubber strands ("legs") poking out from the spider ball keep it from rolling too fast, so it will not disappear under the furniture! These strands also make it easier for younger children to hit or catch the balls. The tactile elements of this toy (bouncy "webs" on the paddles and dangling "legs" on the balls) add to the kid-appeal. The rubber strands are attatched very securely inside of the ball; they don't break off easily as one might expect. This is a fun game that can be played between people of widely different ages.

I purchased this for my 4 & 2 1/2 year old so they could play inside. The spiderball is great as the legs keep it from rolling all over the place, an issue I have with every game that comes with anything round since I have hardwood floors. The problem I had is with the webbing in the paddles. The pictures show that you can pull back the webbing to catapult objects. Unfortunately for us, the webbing on both paddles only lasted about 30 minutes before each one ripped. We've managed to tie the ripped webbing with elastics but it's pretty sad looking. Bummer, it looks like such fun. I was hoping to play outside this Spring.

This toy is so fun you have no idea how cool it is till you get it. I got it as a gift for my child but me and her aunt also play with it more then my little girl would like us to and the best part it the soft spiderballs are ok for in the house. The set is bright and the paddles are sized for kids. It is one of the best toys I have ever found online. And the rubbery inside spider web holds up well.
