I have found out what they are and how you use them!!!:clapping: :clapping:

Went into a local shop yesterday that sells educational toys and they had them in there - £9.99 each :eek:

Apparently they are known as foxtail balls and are designed to make it easier for kids to throw and catch - not sure i noticed a problem tbh but there ya go...

The balls are numbered or coloured on the tail as you get a differant effect according to how far down the tail you throw/catch - the numbered ones can signify "points" as part:eek: of a game.

Cnnot find numbered ones online but here is an example of the coloured one by the same company that made the numbered ones saw today

So there you go folks, now we can sleep peacefully knowing what our balls are for :laughing:

my tail balls have numbers on and we play catch and we score on how many times you get the tail it makes it less pressure for the los but hard for older ones so lo win more.:clapping: the lower the score the better
