User questions & answers

Question:	Would this ball hold up outside during cold winter months
Answer:	I purchased them for a 10-year-old girl, but I imagine the age range could go up or down depending on the interest and education level. She loves them and uses them constantly.
Question:	I can't inflate the ball. Also there are no instructions...maybe the pump is broken? Can someone send me detailed instructions
Answer:	This is rated for ages 8 and up, but that is mainly because of the activity book. The activity book is very nice, but definitely not age appropriate for a 3 year old. The activity book was great for my 9 year old daughter. That being said the binoculars are pretty to use and my 3.5 year old son enjoys playing with them too.
Question:	why is the measurement tape so huge? I bought the second largest size and it's impossible to blow it up per the silly measurement tape. inflated std
Answer:	It says it is made in China on the binoculars. I hope that helps.
Question:	I’m 5’7 and want to use this as a birthing ball i’m not sure if i should get an xl or a l! what’s the difference in birthing and exercising sizes
Answer:	Hi dewNo, I have a 6 year old, who loves this set! It has some great activity cards that your 6 year old could probably read and do the experiment with.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the size
Answer:	75cm
Question:	I have severe balance problems. How do i go about using this product? Thanks
Answer:	You should go to a reputable, trained, Physical Therapist. They can help you w/ balance problems... IF you go to a good one, they can give GENTLE exercises which will slowly strengthen your muscles, (if you stick with it & do them), which can help you with your balance...Some P Therapist aren't great. Talk to people u know that work with them... Always tell your P Therapist if something feels not right, or is starting to hurt, & they can then omit those exercises DO NOT attempt to use a ball like this on your own. You could get hurt. Always use a good P Therapist's advice. You don't want to lean on the ball & fall & hurt yourself. Hope this is helpful.

Answer:	The one I have says made in china
Question:	Is it made in usa
Answer:	The package insert reads, MADE IN CHINA.
