Re: Where can I get a ball pit (least expensive place)?

[Guest guest]

I don't think you'll be able to find a clinic or professional version

cheaply, however, there are some decent models for home use.

See this link...the pit has good reviews without the 600 balls

packaged with it, and there are different options with this pit as

well. IN fact, it looks so reasonable that I am going to buy one for

my girls!!!

I found some for your search, and I know there are OTs and SLPs here

to share too - but just curious why you have to get the professional

grade version.

Corral Ball Pit Pool by Childrens Factory $449.95 (100 off)

(is this what you need?)

Most of us just got the Toys R Us cheapie version that looks fun- and

they work great too. (and also a great place to store all the extra

balls all over the house when company came over!) The professional

ones don't really 'look' fun -well outside of the balls and the colors

- but they have to be solid as it's used for years and years by one

child after another and sometimes multiple kids at the same time. The

Toys R Us version -granted they don't hold up for long -at least ours

never did with 2 boys -but for (I recall 100 dollars but looking

online they are only 30-40 bucks) I thought even getting a few months

of " therapy " out of it was worth it.

Lori found this one for around 100 -it looks fun:

If you really need a professional one -what about making your own?

(thanks to Lori Rosen for IM'ing me this link too)

Just throwing this out there because perhaps you can use some of the

other monies toward other therapies and therapy items for the home?
