A New Style of Ball Juggling with the Pindaloo toy

Pindaloo

[Ad- gifted product] Some toys I understand more than others, from the start. It’s easy to tell how to play with a doll or how to put together a puzzle, but when we saw the Pindaloo, we were curious, wondering exactly how this toy was played with. The Pindaloo is actually a really simple ball game, where you are looking to sort of throw and catch a ball in a curved pipe, building up momentum to juggle the ball in and out of this tube. It’s a simple idea, but it does take quite a bit of practice to master. Thankfully, there are tons of YouTube videos to help you get to grips with the toy.

Once we had our hands on our Pindaloo, we started messing around with it, naturally. Inside the house, we took the cover off of the sides of the tube, and started playing around with the ball inside. The idea is that you grip the tube with one hand, and move it in one fluid movement, that allows the ball to come out of one side of the tube into the air, then you can catch it on the other side of the tube, juggling it in and out of the tube. Once you have mastered simply having it move in and out of the tube, you can start doing tricks with the toy too!

We watched quite a few videos showcasing tricks where people made figure eights with the ball, tossed the tube and caught it again before catching the ball in the air, using two of these toys to juggle between the two, and more. It’s a really cool toy once you have mastered them! The children had a good time juggling and trying it out, where as Dann and I got pretty competitive when it came to being able to juggle more than each other and even try some of these cool tricks. I feel like the Pindaloo is a really good toy for both children, teenagers and kids alike, especially if they are looking for a fun dexterity toy!

The toy itself seems simple in the way it looks, but having the lids on either side of the tube, so that the ball can be stored as well inside the tube, is such a clever idea! I really enjoy products that are well designed and thought out, and I feel these lids showcase that the toy can be stored all together, keeping us from losing the ball, and it goes well in our outdoor toy box as a toy best played with outside the house, so that the ball can be thrown high in the air without damaging anything!

    Never seen this before. It looks great fun. I would give this to my granddaughter but I’d have a wee shot myself first.
