Basketball - Elite, Size 4
Quality basketball in the smallest size, perfect for children as young as 4–5 years old. The ball is firm and bounces like a regular basketball, so make sure your child is comfortable with harder balls.
Since the ball is firm, it can be a good idea for young children to practise bouncing and dribbling instead of throwing it. Draw a hopscotch-style grid with numbered squares, then take turns calling out numbers and toss the basketball onto the right number - that's a game of fun basketball math!
The super-grippy textured surface helps tiny hands hold on to the ball.
The ball comes uninflated, so you'll need a ball pump to inflate it.
Circumference: 59–60 cm.

What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

It develops your child's depth perception to play with balls using their feet, hands, head, or a bat/racket. Some ball games have rules, and it's good for your child to learn how to follow them. So, when your child firmly insists that there's definitely NO penalty, or that the ball was not out of bounds, that's a learning moment. And what's more, your child's proprioception is totally engaged in ball games, and that's a sense which really can't be overstimulated.
The activity helps your child develop new skills and is great for your child's well-being:
- This type of play stimulates your child's depth perception.
