Nothing says summer like water play... and what better way to play in the water than with a Waboba ball! The ball-craze toy that bounces on water surfaces, spun it’s own lingo and spurned the creation of after-school waboba leagues is sure to be a pint-sized crowd pleaser. {Let’s be honest, adults will love it, too!} With a product this fun you can be sure the company that makes it has the right play attitude. We caught up with them to chat about their products, corporate culture and tips for getting the most out of the summer sun. Don’t miss their advice for the best places to play with Waboba balls. Who knows? You may just be a Wabobian-in-the-making!
