Catch and Launch Ball Game for Kids with Soft Ball Launcher, Indoor and Outdoor Active Play for Family Nights

• Aim, click and catch play that keeps kids moving instead of sitting still
• Soft ball means it works indoors as well as outside

• Gives kids a reason to put a screen down without a lecture
• Easy enough for parents and grandparents to join in on family game night
• Adult supervision advised: small parts are a choking hazard for children under three

This is a launcher and a soft ball, and the whole game is aim, click and catch. That is enough to get a child up and moving, because every launch has to be chased and every catch has to be timed. The soft ball is the reason it can come indoors at all, so a rainy afternoon does not end the game.

There is more going on than burning off energy. Catching and launching the soft ball works on coordination and timing, and sharpens reflexes and motor skills while children are too busy playing to notice they are learning anything. Nothing about it feels like exercise. It also gives them a reason to unplug from a screen without a lecture, which is usually the harder part of the afternoon.

Adults are not stuck on the sidelines either. The launcher is satisfying enough that parents and grandparents end up taking turns, which makes it a decent family game night option rather than a toy only one person uses. Adult supervision is advised: small parts are a choking hazard for children under three, so check the ball and the launcher for damage before play. The supplier does not state the number of pieces, the dimensions, the material or a recommended age range.
