These foam balls are excellent. They are about the size of a softball. They are sculpted foam so the facial features of each turtle is done in a 3D relief. They are made to look like the turtles on the new CGI show that airs on NICK. The outside of the balls are very shiny and thick which I think really helps to keep them from getting torn up like regular foam balls. They are great for younger kids since they don"t hurt if you get whacked with one. Overall these are a great deal considering that you get four of them and they are such a nice size.
