Hi, they are really good for the boys to play throw and catch with or roll about with and they are Lightweight and not destructive. The only trouble I find is with my smallest grandson, he is teething and bites and chews on everything. He can bite small pieces out of the balls so potential chocking is an issue. Just be careful with young children. Other than that they are super. Our youth football league was in our local fall festival parade and the boys threw footballs out along the route as well as candy. The kids loved it!!
