A soft thump as the ball sticks to the pad, then a cheer.

🎯 Forgiving catches: the Velcro layer grabs the soft ball, so a near miss still counts
🖐️ Secure grip: a hand strap on the smooth wooden side keeps the pad on the hand
🌳 Outdoor play: made for the backyard or park, and the bag carries it to the beach too
👫 Two players: a pad each, so it works for siblings, friends or a parent
🎒 Easy tidy-up: pads and ball go into the drawstring netting bag
🔇 Quiet play: a soft ball and no batteries, so it stays calm even in a small backyard

The Educator's Note

The Velcro catching surface lets a 4 year old succeed on a rough catch, which keeps them throwing long enough for eye-hand coordination to improve.
The hand strap on the wooden side keeps the pad in place, so the child watches the ball instead of holding on to the equipment.
It is a two-player outdoor set with no batteries and a soft ball, and it stays useful from first catches at 4 to distance throws at 8.

🏃 Gross Motor

A wooden catching pad on each hand and a soft ball that sticks to the Velcro. Catching feels achievable straight away, so a child keeps throwing instead of giving up after the first few misses. Pitched at 4 years and up, when throwing, tracking and stepping to meet a ball are all coming together. Start a metre apart and take a step back as the catches get easier.

Also available in a great value bundle

Our educator recommends this set for children who are ready to move from rolling and tossing to proper catching.

The 4 to 5 year old who drops most catches with bare hands and is starting to lose patience
Siblings aged 4 to 8 who need a backyard game they can play together with one pad each
A 6 to 8 year old building throwing distance and accuracy ahead of school sport and playground ball games
Families packing for the beach, park or camping trip who want a quiet game that stores in one bag

Catching that forgives a miss

Plain catching is hard at four. The ball arrives faster than a child can close their hands, and a few drops in a row can end the game. Here, the Velcro layer on each wooden pad holds the soft ball on contact. A catch only needs the ball to land on the pad, not to be gripped, so the success rate stays high while the skill is still forming. The smooth wooden side carries a hand strap. Strapped on, the pad stays where it should, and the child can put all their attention on the ball.

What a game of catch builds

Watch the child's eyes. They follow the ball through the air, then the pad rises to meet it. That is eye-hand coordination being practised in real time. Stepping sideways or back to reach a wide throw adds gross motor work, and throwing the ball back builds the arm control they will use later for overarm throwing in school sport. The set is made for two players, so it also teaches turn-taking and judging a throw for someone else. Aim softer for a younger sibling, harder for a bigger one.

Growing with the child

At 4, stand close and count how many catches in a row. By 6, step back, throw underarm and overarm, or try one-handed catches. Older children can turn it into a distance challenge with a friend. The drawstring netting bag keeps the pads and ball together for the car boot or beach bag.

Looking after it

This is a wooden outdoor game, so treat it like good garden furniture. Store it indoors when not in use, and keep it out of wet grass, rain and dew. Wipe the pads clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
