This does not affect how the ball glides but if someone makes this for themselves corrugated plastic cardboard might be more durable. ****After using foam board for the bottom of the DIY Hoverball and having my kids kick this ball all over the house I did find that the foam board does dent somewhat when kicked from one surface to another. ****Remember this is an indoor toy that should be kicked and played with on wood or laminate floors, carpet or tile.


Kick and play with your new DIY Hover Ball! Now, make another one! There is, in fact, a remaining half of a soccer ball that will be no good for anything else! Turn it over so flat side is down, on a smooth surface, and sit or kneel on it to make sure the two pieces stick securely. Stick it in the center of the flat side of the cut soccer ball. Spray the pressing sheet wrapped foam board disc with Super 77 on the side that is folded over. It would be a great inexpensive project for college students for indoor hallway soccer matches in the dorms! This is a wonderful indoor toy for the winter when it is hard to get outside and play. You decide!! It took me less then 30 minutes to make one! You can wait 6-8 weeks or make one yourself by following these very simple steps. And after seeing a review I think it certainly stacks up! Very exciting. I have never been able to use an actual name brand Hover Ball, however, the one I made works exactly like I would expect a purchased one to. Ugh!!Īfter watching a review of the Hover Ball I knew for certain I could just make one (or two) myself! And I easily did! Unfortunately, my son's birthday came and went without sight of a Hover Ball and after seven weeks of waiting Hover Ball contacted us and said they were canceling our order because they could no longer get the balls from their manufacturer. Even though it was possible that we might not receive the item until after his birthday we still decided to order the Hover Ball that we had been hearing/seeing so much about.

They said on the phone it would take approximately 6-8 weeks to get the item. I have personally found it is as fun for adults as it is for kids!įor my son's 5th birthday he begged for a Hover Ball so we ordered one about one month in advance of his big day. If not, the Hover Ball is an indoor toy that looks like a soccer ball cut in half that glides easily over any type of flooring. If you have a child between the ages of two and 12 chances are you have either seen the commercial for the Hover Ball or have at least heard about it.
