It's a small pool but all the kids played in it at some point. My 4 yr old and toddler can both still fit in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-775703 Sat, 11 May 2013 21:34:55 +0000 katsupgirl 775703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm subscribing because I have this crazy idea of creating a ball pit in the house.

Awesome idea tho, my thought was a trampoline with the walls, how fun would that be (and mostly not safe?)</p> <p>Did anyone see the most recent Amazing Race finale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-775571 Sat, 11 May 2013 19:52:47 +0000 littlek 775571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772946 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:22:47 +0000 MrsTiz 772946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to pop in so I could say balls.</p> <p>balls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772879 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:56:21 +0000 littlek 772879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: they are really good quality balls.. they are firm and don't dent like the package of 150 balls i ordered.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772868 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:53:22 +0000 mediagirl 772868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: yeah, the quality of the balls I have right now isn't all that great.

Okay...maybe we don't do a ball pit.... lol. Maybe I'll take part of @regberadaisy's idea and just put out a sand box filled with sand. That has to be cheaper.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772862 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:52:20 +0000 littlek 772862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: We bought 5 packs of 200 and 1 pack of 150.. the pack of 150 was not as good as the link i posted above.. the qualit of those balls is much better (i feel totally dirty writing this LOL) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772859 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:51:21 +0000 littlek 772859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Phthalate-6-5cm-Balls-Polka-Hamper/dp/B0040I9IS8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1368193835&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=ball+pit" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Phthalate-6-5cm-Balls-Polka-Hamper/dp/B0040I9IS8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1368193835&#038;sr=8-8&#038;keywords=ball+pit</a></p> <p>Balls- you will need at least 4 of these to fit the pool.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772858 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:51:15 +0000 mediagirl 772858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: how many balls do you have?

OR what about building a big sandbox that you use as a ball pit for the party then change into a sandpit afterwards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/outdoor-ball-pit#post-772832 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:43:21 +0000 mediagirl 772832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want something that can be used as a ball pit for my lo's birthday party in June outside. I would like it if it was versatile and could be used for other things, as well. Suggestions? </p>
