What are basketball toys?
Basketball toys are any kind of play product which is focused on the sport of basketball. That could be a classic item like a hoop that allows them to play basketball indoors or outdoors at home. However, this category also includes any type of basketball-themed toy, like tabletop games and stuffed toys.
What is the most popular basketball toy?
One of the most popular basketball toys is an indoor basketball hoop. This type of toy allows kids to play basketball whenever they like regardless of the weather outside. It’s a wonderful choice for any age, too. In fact, even adults can have a blast using a mini basketball hoop indoors when they want to enjoy some family fun or take a little break at home or in the office.
How much does a basketball toy cost?
The cost of basketball toys varies widely depending on which type of product you wish to purchase. There are lots of kids toddler toys which are quite affordable, especially smaller basketball hoop sets. If you want to splurge on a holiday gift, consider higher-end options like arcade games with electronic scoreboards, durable outdoor basketball hoops or authentic NBA gear.
Types of basketball toys
Looking for some unique basketball gifts? Here are some of the top options to consider.
Basketball hoop sets
What better way to enjoy basketball than by playing it at home? A basketball hoop set is a great toy for any age group. Smaller indoor kids’ basketball hoops with adjustable heights are ideal for toddlers and young kids. A wall-mounted mini basketball hoop is a good indoor option as well, but be sure to pair it with a softer ball that won’t cause too much damage when it ricochets off the rim.
An outdoor basketball hoop allows older children and teens to practice their skills and host scrimmages in the driveway. A pool basketball hoop is another fun option for those lucky enough to have access to a swimming pool.
Tabletop basketball games
When play needs to be limited to smaller spaces, choose a stationary desktop basketball game. There are small shooting games that can be set up on a tabletop so the whole family can participate. Board games with basketball themes can also encourage quality time with friends and family.
Basketball video games
For kids who love both video games and sports, this is the ideal gift. They’ll love a classic basketball arcade game, especially one that allows for multiple players to compete at once. If you have a video gaming system at home, choose a compatible basketball game that they can play alone or with friends.
Toy basketballs
The simplicity of a toy basketball shouldn’t be overlooked. Something as simple as a stuffed basketball or a bouncy ball with a basketball design can become a treasured possession for a little one.
