These ice cream shooter toys bring me back to when I was a child! My grandkids seem to sure enjoy them! The are great for a party gift or even stocking stuffers for Christmas. The foam ball is light and so is the toy. Yes they are fairly easy to tear apart if you have a destructive child or a dog, or even a cat that wants to play, but for the hours of enjoyment the kids are getting out of them, it is well worth it! These are easy for even the smallest of hands to figure out. Colorful and easy to use.
