Some toys just look fun and the Wubble Bubble Ball is one of them. Seriously who wouldn’t want to play with a giant bubble ball? One of the things that amazes me about this ball is how much it looks like a bubble from the consistency of the ball to the sheerness of it, you really feel like you are playing with a giant bubble.
But in order to get to the fun and giggles of playing with the Wubble Ball first you have to inflate it, fortunately the Wubble Ball comes with it’s own pump . However it is still a bit of work to get it inflated, and I hope you can learn from a few of the mistakes I made while inflating the ball.
Tips for Inflating the Wubble Bubble Ball
- Have someone help you.
- The pump requires 4 D batteries.
- Don’t be afraid to push the valve in all the way, it needs to go in pretty far. I made the mistake and only had it half way in and the ball took forever to inflate.
- Look through the ball you can see when the tube is fully in the valve to inflate.
- If it’s not inflating in 3 min you likely don’t have the valve all the way in.
- If you still need help check out this how to video on You tube
Jack was so excited to play with the Wubble Bubble Ball and fully inflated it’s too big for indoor play, at least in my house. So we took it outside . Jack loved chasing it around the yard, bouncing it off his head and watching it fly across the air. His giggling was infectious. When tossed or kicked the Wubble Bubble Ball moves like a bubble and less like a ball which makes it a little hard to predict which way it will go and that definitely adds to the fun. Having said that do not leave you Wubble Bubble Ball outside unattended because like a real bubble if it’s windy it will fly away. When we weren’t looking ours took off over the fence and we found it in the bushes.

To me one of the coolest things about this toy is that NSI president Frank Landi was inspired to create Wubble Bubble Ball by his children’s wish to have a real bubble to play with. He developed the Wubble Bubble Ball to keep his children’s love for active play alive. It’s pretty cool to know that this toy was totally inspired by kids, which is probably why kids love it so much. My husband didn’t quite get the concept of the Wubble Bubble Ball before I inflated it but my son got it right away. “Daddy it’s a big bubble that’s a ball”. Kids totally get this toy.For more on the Wubble Bubble Ball make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Ok, this looks like so much fun!!!
How fun!! What a great toy for the little AND big kids!
Those Wubble Balls are so incredibly cool!
Oh my gosh, my daughter HONESTLY would have slept with this ball if she could have! Seriously one of the most engaging toys we've EVER had.
My boys keep seeing this on the end cap at Target and want to try it…maybe Santa will find one for them…
My Wubble is hidden right now, waiting for THE perfect moment to POP out. I can't wait to surprise the kids with it b/c they have been wanting one. My son thinks it's the best invention EVER.
That looks like a lot of fun. What a great idea for family picnics!
They hold their shape, especially in hot water, and seem to last longer. The greatest flaw with using them is that particles of rust, lime, water heater dip tube, or bits of pipe metal that may pass through the faucet may be forced into the surface of the washer if the particle becomes trapped between the washer and the brass at the critical moment when the faucet is being closed.
