These are spectacular mini basketballs. We have other sizes and there all extremely well made. And can with stand some force. Also they keep the air for a very long time without having to be blown up a little more. So I blew up the balls 3 days ago and I still don't need to put air in them and they have been put thru some hell with 5 toddlers and 4 teenagers and there still kicking. They have the same pattern of a basketball. The colors are very bright. And great for boys and girls. Also I dont see any choke hazards at all. I definitely give these two thumbs up!
