AngieW in Texas Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I am looking for the hair balls that Target used to sell. Nobody seems to have them now. Here's a link to the exact hair ball that I'm looking for: http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/boys-blip-gigantic-hair-balls-reviews http://www.amazon.com/BLIP-Blip-Gigantic-Hair-Balls/dp/B001GF7H7C I don't care what color it is, but it needs to be this exact ball. This is what my Aspie dd uses to reset herself. She has a throwing/catching game that she plays with it every day. Unfortunately, this game ends up ripping out the little hairs after a lot of use, so each ball lasts just 3-4 months before she needs to replace it. The softer squishy versions of the ball don't work at all for the game and she NEEDS to play it every day. If any of y'all know where I can get this ball (preferably 4-6 of them so I don't have to do this for a long time), please let me know.

Dmmetler Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Do you have Big Lots? I think I've seen them there. They usually have toys after they disappear from Target, TRU, and similar stores, so I've found them a good resource for finding that must-have item that I didn't stock up on in time.

SailorMom Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I would call the company directly: http://bliptoys.com/hairballs.html They seem to be out of stock everywhere..... It could be temporary, or they are changing the ball. At least someone there may be able to fill you in, or direct you to something smilar. Godd luck.

SailorMom Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 This is kinda similar.... http://www.edb.utexas.edu/ATLab/Labinventory/EarlyChildhood/ec-recreation.php Scroll down to the Koosh Ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I sent an email to the company this morning after I finally figured out who made the ball my dd uses. Before today, I just kept finding squishy hair balls or Koosh-style hair balls when I did my searches. I don't remember what search terms I put in that finally got me to the right ball, but I do remember that I had to include target as one of the terms.
