Catch-and-Launch Paddle Ball Toy

Bring a simple catching challenge to a spare afternoon with this catch-and-launch paddle ball toy. The circular paddle has a folding mechanism and a hand strap, giving you a compact way to hold, open and position the launcher during play. Place a foam ball on the paddle and use the opening action to send it upward, then work on meeting the ball again as it comes back down. The set contains one paddle and two foam balls, making the contents easy to keep together between sessions. Its bright, straightforward shape is easy to bring out for a quick solo challenge or to use as one piece in a game with other players who have their own paddles. Try short controlled launches first, then vary the height as you become familiar with the movement. With no screen or scoreboard to set up, the focus stays on the simple action of launching, following and catching the ball. Fold the paddle closed when the game is finished.
