My Balls Lot of 1000 Jumbo 3" Crush-Proof Ball Pit Balls - 5 Bright Colors, Phthalate Free, BPA Free, PVC Free, Non-Toxic, Non-Recycled Plastic

First, let me start of by saying that this toy was bought for 3 kids (7, 5, and 2 years old) I bought the "Intex Recreation Swim Center Family Pool" to use as a ball pit, and bought 1,000 of these balls. Just a little fyi, this combo is enough to fill the pool almost ot the halfway. I could bury myself, with a little effort, but more importantly, the kids could easy hide and bury themselves with this many balls in this size pool.Anyway, onto the review of the product. The producer claims that these balls are crush proof, and let me tell you :THEY ARE! After seeing my 2 year old nephew do his best to destroy a few of them by squishing them, sitting on them, jumping on them, etc, i had to check them out. IT seems like there are 2 little soft spots on the top and bottom, about the size of a nickle, and somehow that makes these things indestructible. 10 days in, and NOT A SINGLE BALL CRUSHED! I cannot believe it myself, seeing as to how hard the kids play on these things. I have never bought balls like this before, but if you are considering this item or a similar one, these things are perfect. They come in for colors and are the normal size, and they take a beating and still hold up fine.

Ordered 3000 of these for a 6' x 5' ball pit; filled about 18-20" deep. These are great. out of all 3000 not a single flat came in and I have found only 3 flats in over 2 years and the dog was involved in 2 of those. 4 star because they are a bit expensive and not as thick as the commercial grade balls. These have no smell, rich colors, do not come flat, are holding up fantastically, and are a great size. I settled on these because a review that simply put "survived a weekend of drunk adults" and yes, they do.

These balls are not crush proof and split at the seam.

Used to create a ball pit in a co-worker's office. Great product. I would recommend for anyone looking to create a fun ball pit. But be warned, you may need two bags to get a deep enough pit.

These are wonderful and very well made. We have an indoor playset for our son and it has a ballpit that came with only 50 VERY small balls. It was laughable to think that you could fill the ballpit with the balls that came with the set... We purchased these and used 500 to fill the ballpit. Our son jumps and throws himself into the ballpit all the time, as well as throws the balls everywhere. We have had to problems with them; none of them have crushed or changed shape. Overall, I think that this is a great buy. Also, if you calculate the cost + S&H vs. other products, these are actually cheaper per ball.

Filled an inflatable pool with these so my grandson can have his own ball pit. He loved them. The pool was large so it only filled half full. I ordered another 1,000! Great size, thick plastic, bright colors, nice smooth feel. These are wonderful quality. Love! Love! Love!

After a lot of online searching, you can't beat the price on these. I did assume that based on the photo and the item title that the outside of the balls would be a bit more sturdy (I guess you technically can't "crush," but you can definitely squeeze the sides in and dent them), but perhaps all play balls are like that. Had a glitch with the number of balls we received versus the number we ordered, but customer service did reply and assist us promptly.

These are great, I used them in my sons inflatable ball bit and these are the perfect size. They seem very sturdy and work great. If you're considering these versus the 2.5" balls I'd recommend these if you need to fill a ball pit for a toddler since these fill the pit better when compared in equal numbers. I also find these easier to clean up and find when my son gets a bit enthusiastic and tosses some of them out of the pit.
