Balls for Ball Pit

I have purchased a ball pit from Argos and its lovely.

I got my balls from Tesco but they seem really flimsy and already have dents in having only been used. Even when you pick them up gently, they feel really flimsy.

I know foam ones will be a no-no cos of kids deciding to eat them.

But do poeple have more sturdier ones and if so, where did you get them from?

Thanks

I was just about to say don't buy Tescos ones they are awful. As you say they dent and some of mine came apart, money wasted :panic:

I got some from ELC, they were so much better, more expensive though. They often have them in the 3 for 2 offer.

I got some from Aldi - not too expensive but haven't seen any there for a while now

Look about in the charity shops as thats where I picked mine up from and they were the ELC ones.

Thanks ladies - I might go to my local ELC and have a grope of the balls!!!

I've always bought mine from elc, they are expensive when compared to asda and tescos etc but I find they last better....and as has already been mentioned they sometime do 3 for 2

oooeerrr :littleangel:

Thanks for the info from me too.

Like the look of the pop up ball pit thing, trip to ELC I think :thumbsup:

I like the squirty hopscotch, giggles that will be so funny to watch the kiddies get a spray

my balls come form elc too

I like that sensory ball pit on the link you sent.

I hadn't noticed the sensory ball pit when i first posted the link (as soon as i saw the balls were on offer i posted it!!!)

Just been back to have a look and its fab! Got to get one of those!!!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Got mine from Tesco last year, and quite a lot need throwing before it gets used much more!!!!!!!!! Think I will go to ELC as well!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you ladies, I am going to go with the ELC ones.

What do I need to take with me to get my discount card?

re discount card

all you need is your registration document and you get your card there and then it's great. i also buy the balls from elc and they are much better quality than rest, also you can get them in nicer colours i got some nice metallic ones a couple of years ago again on 3 for 2 offer and still using them the only time they need replacing them is when they go missing ( to where i don't know it's like when you always lose 1 sock ) strange:rolleyes:

You just need your registration certificate adn you'll get a card. You'll only get 10% on things that aren't on special offer.
I agree with everyone, I got the Tesco ones and they aren't really good. I guess you get what you pay for!! :)

Thank you!!! :)
