Givaway: Daju balloon ball and travel chalk play mat

Posted on January 10, 2013

When I was asked to review a balloon ball, I was like, “what… what is that?” I had absolutely no idea what this could be. And so, my relationship with Daju began.

The Little Miss loves her balls. She has a purple one that bounces “really high”, a blow up beach ball, a soccor ball and another orange ball. Yes, she loves her balls. And balloons too. It is actually amazing how much joy a balloon can bring. So imagine combining the too. That is what you get with the Daju balloon ball.

A balloon in a ball. It bounces like a ball, but yet has the simple delicate motion of a balloon. It is not a big heavy ball that has to be used only outdoors. It’s delicateness allows some indoor ball fun. Limited to the play room though… this mummy and ‘balls inside’ is still quite strict.

And although I have not tried it, it is coming with us on our Queensland holiday. It will be packed up neat and tight and a great addition to some beach fun times. As long as the balloon doesn’t pop though… fingers crossed.

Daju have some wonderful products. They are all really quite unique and gorgeous. There is something new and special about them. Including their travel chalk play mat. Roll it up, leave it in the car for those coffee/chino dates. With some chalk, the kids are set. And then wipe clean for next time. Simple! Perfect! Efficient!

Because I know you will love these products as well, I have arranged for you, my readers, to be in the chance to win one of two balloon ball and travel chalk packs. That is two packs up for grabs. Did I say TWO!!!!

  • Samantha Kaminski

    Bring back the fun personally for me means bringing back all those special memories that I had growing up, and sharing new but similar ones with my beautiful baby.
    Playing hide & seek, those old classic board games (snakes & ladders, operation, battleships! etc.), outside play (pretending to make soup out of sour sobs, and making dad eat it!) I look forward to these moments and cherish that I once too was a child and can again be a child at heart!

  • Jemma Haysom

    Bringing back the fun is playing outside wheather it be, trampoline, swings, making mud pies, getting a tad dirty, picnics, swimming, planting some flowers/vegies, hide and seek, tiggy and cricket/footy/tennis/horse riding.
    Not being too busy to laugh and play with our kid/s!
    Love the saying excuse the mess but the kids are making memories..too right!!
