We did get several holes after using it the first time. Then I took a better look around the yard and found more sticks and small rocks that I removed.
Then my husband used scoth tape to repair the holes! It worked very well. The sections have remained inflated. Also it is a fast and easy way to repair. No drying time and no purchasing a repair kit. Plus you can repair as many holes as you need to.
We bought it for our daughter's birthday party as an activity for the children. They had a lot of fun with it.

The kids really love this ball... I am sure it has lots of miles on it now!!!!!!!
Only issue is that several of the squares leak air and continually needs to be blown up.

This toy is the greatest, the kids call it their hampster ball. Even their grandpop gets in it. It is best used in the evening, it gets very hot during the day when the kids are in hysterics. After much use it did tear along one of the seams.No problem made a call ang a new one you all are great.

Our two grandchildren ages 9 and 3 have played with this on the lawn and in the pool for hours and love it. A bit time consuming to inflate, but with 2 electric blowers we made a game of it. Very happy with our purchase.

Very difficult to blow up--deflates easily. Too costly---found the same product at another store $20 cheaper!

I was REALLY excited to give this as a gift to my son for his 3rd birthday. We gave it to him on his birthday which was also the day of his party. It only lasted a couple of hours with him and about 5 cousins and friends playing with it before a seam ripped! I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the quality of the product. There is only an age recommendation on the product description (ex. 3 and up) which is why I got the 36" ball for my son. He only weighs 27 pounds. But the other kids were playing normally with the ball like any kid would and it ripped! I am planning on returning it, but just haven't had time yet. The concept is great, just not the product.

My kids have a fun time using this especially when they have a group of friends over. I did think it would roll better but with the weight of a child in it, you really have to push. The only thing I dislike about it is the time it takes to blow up. Each and every section of this thing needs to be blown up separately.

Comments about HearthSong Great Big Outdoor Playball:

This is a lot of fun, but poorly constructed. The seams loosen after just a few hours, and the air leaks out.

Comments about HearthSong Great Big Outdoor Playball:

Each individual section of the ball has to be blown up separately. It's good quality but my sons really haven't touched it. Nice to have -- who knows, maybe they'll love it next week. So far, though, not a good buy.

We bought this as a gift for our 11 year old twin girls. I've had my eye on it for months, and was so excited to give it to them. They played with it three times and sections started to deflate. Then the seams between the sections ripped. I'm so bummed. I was hoping they would get hours of fun out of this. Would love my money back.

The ball came with three cells that would not inflate. Then on the first use on good grass more cells separated. It was a disappointment in every regard.

ONE OF THE BEST PURCHASES WE'VE MADE FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN. INFLATING IS TIME CONSUMING ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LITTLE ONES ARE NEARBY. ELECTRIC PUMP IS A MUST HAVE.

It's a really a fun toy, the kids get hysterical when they are playing with it.

My two girls ages 6 & 3 enjoy playing with this ball. I considered the smaller size but I'm glad I got the largest because they can fit inside together. We keep it on the grass and have not had any problems. It was time consuming to inflate the first time so don't expect to pull it out and play right away. FUN!

Comments about HearthSong Great Big Outdoor Playball:

My son was elated when he received this ball for his birthday. However, when blowing it up for the first time, which takes forever since you have to blow up each individual compartment, we found that five of the compartments did not hold air. Other reviewers have mixed experiences, so we're going to try it one more time.

i purchased this for my granddaughter for her 9th birthday. she was thrilled. she used it while on her trampoline, she rolled down hills, she curled up in it and read a book. UNFORTUNATELY, she reports it has gotten several holes in it.
her lawn is grass, so it was not taken on rough adventures.

she loved it so much, she asked me to purchase another one for the summer when she comes to visit me. i'm a sucker for those kids, so i'll probably get another. for the money & my pocketbook, i wish it had lasted longer. for the pictures and the squeals when she opened it, ALL worth it.

We are about to buy our second ball. The first was so fun/popular with all the neighorhood kids and the Brownies, that it provided countless hours of fun. Because of wear and tear the seams have riped at the doorways,and some of the sections have deflated but it generates a new and different game. They now can stand on top of the ball and play in addition to being inside of the ball. It is expensive, but was well worth the value in play. We deflated it for the hottest part of the summer, but the girls loved squirting water on the person who was inside.....

Comments about HearthSong Great Big Outdoor Playball:

As the other reviews I read stated, it took a long long time to inflate. There are countless parts to inflate, one by one. So it took forever to inflate. After the ball was actually inflated, it already had holes in it. Several of the cells got tiny holes from us handling it and inflating it outdoors. So it didn't roll very well when we actually were ready to use it. The positive is that it seems like a fun product. The negative is the quality of the product.
