Shindel 6-Pack Mini Basketballs 4.7 Inch Orange Rubber Inflatable Balls with Pump for Kids Indoor Outdoor Play

These Shindel mini basketballs come in a 6-pack set, each measuring 4.7 inches (12 cm) in diameter. Made from durable rubber with a pebbled surface for grip, they are designed for use with over-the-door mini hoops and arcade games. The set includes a hand pump with a hidden needle compartment, making them ready for play right out of the box. Suitable for kids and adults, they work indoors on gym floors and outdoors on grass or concrete.

What's Inside the Set?

The package contains six orange mini basketballs and one hand pump. The inflation needle is stored inside the pump handle's hidden compartment at the back, so it stays safe and easy to find. To inflate, attach the needle to any standard pump and fill the balls to about 90% of full pressure for the best bounce and to protect the seams.

Perfect Fit for Mini Hoops

At 4.7 inches across, these balls are sized to replace lost or worn-out balls for most home basketball sets, including over-the-door mini hoops and arcade-style games. The diameter provides a realistic shooting and dribbling experience for both children and adults in any room.

Grip and Build Quality

The classic pebbled texture on the surface gives these balls a secure grip, similar to a full-sized basketball. This helps toddlers and young children catch, dribble, and shoot more confidently, supporting the development of motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The rubber is thickened to resist bursting and everyday wear, yet soft enough for safe indoor play.

Indoor and Outdoor Versatility

These balls are built for both indoor and outdoor use. On hardwood floors, they bounce without damaging the surface. Outside, they hold up on grass, concrete, sand, and even in pools—they are waterproof and tear-resistant. They can also be deflated and folded flat for easy transport to parks or on vacation.

Ideal for Gifts and Parties

With six balls in one pack, this set works well as party favors for sports-themed birthdays, school prizes, holiday stocking stuffers, or goodie bag fillers. They appeal to basketball fans of all ages and are easy to carry anywhere.
