Product Description
What's so special about this Gertie Ball? It changes colors! The ball turns pale blue when warm and changes to purple when chilled. Kids love to see handprints, faceprints or other custom designs magically appear on the ball's surface. So many ways to play --- pop it in the fridge to chill, then apply warm hands! Let the fun begin!

 Great Idea September 6, 2010
Caren (Heavener, OK, US)
I love this ball. It really is very catch-able and entertaining. My son loves to bite at stuff and he has chewed at the plug several times without pulling it out or even hurting it. I love that you can inflate it yourself to whatever pressure you want or need. I have mine slightly less than full and it makes it so easy to grasp. My son isn't to interested in the color changing aspect yet, he is 2, but I think it is pretty cool. A really great toy idea.
Great gift! April 27, 2009

I had a Gertie ball when I was younger, and was very excited to find out that they still made them. I needed something small to send to a 3 yr old when we sent her brother a birthday gift and this seemed perfect. She and her 1 yr old brother love it! Their mom said that they call it the "magic ball" and is great because you can travel with it (just deflate, pack, and reinflate wherever). We ended up ordering a couple different sizes of gertie balls for our 1 yr old and he loves them too. My husband and I even enjoy playing with them! They're great for any age and don't hurt it you get hit by them.
 Might as well be a purple ball. February 4, 2009
Lindsey Davis (Philadelphia, PA)
I'm very disappointed with this item. I expected to get the ball in the mail and be able to give it to the babies in my daycare so they could see the marks their hands made--but boy was I wrong! Either this ball is so old that the hypercolor/heat reaction doesn't work anymore, or the product never lived up to its expectations to begin with! Has anyone received a ball that DID work? The ball I received changed colors ONLY when I held it up to a boiling, steaming crockpot! What babies' hands are THAT hot? Buyer beware!
had to buy from different company January 25, 2009

I had to buy this from a different company after Amazon cancelled my purchase but I am satisfied with it. I bought it for my youngest nephew for X-mas and he loves it! I was instantly drawn to the color change aspect but, at 19 months, he hasn't caught on yet. I agree it deflates easily but filling it back up hasn't been a problem. It's really easy for him to hold and toss around. I struggled to figure out what to get him and am glad I chose this.
Gertie fun December 22, 2008
R. Wilson (Mt Vernon IN USA)
This Gertie Ball was purchased for small children. They like it because they can carry it easily and their parents anticipate the science value as they get a little older. Good service from vendor.
