It has a hole for you to blow the air in. The more you blow the air in, the more it will expand and take the shape of the ball.
Once it is fully expand, it is time for you to have some fun with your friends. Unlike rubber ball, paper ball needed to be handle with care even in playing. As the paper is light, it will give a gracefully floating effect whenever you play with it. If there are any wind, that will affect where the paper ball will land too.
This dog of mine just love ball in general and when I was doing this paper ball review, he gave me this kind of look.
* Is that a ball? I love ball! Give it to me!
Before the ball hit the ground, he dashed to the paper ball and bite it. You can imagine what will be the fate of the paper ball...totally crashed.
That not all, when he realized that the ball did not squeak or bounces like his play ball, he proceed to tear the paper ball apart... I was too late to do anything. I only managed to rebuke him and stop him from swallowing the paper.
Well so that's all this week yester year toys from me. I am pretty sure some of you from Asia may have play with paper ball before. If you like this article, forward or spread this to your friends and share the memories. We shall continue the next yester year toys next Sunday!

This Paper ball concept are more from China. In the late 70s these balls are still easy to find but as it hit the 80s it being replaced by rubber or plastic ball.

25 January, 2010 09:58I remember those plastic ball too! My time was about $0.50 then later it goes up to $1. Mostly red plastic ball which is smaller than an actual football and come in a red plastic net. Used to use that net to go catch fishes at some drains. LOL
