"Works fine at first, but soon stops bouncing altogether!" star star_border star_border star_border star_border I bought this in last year's Christmas period, and my experience with it was not up to the standards I am used to with lakeland. The ball was easy to make, and at first seemed to bounce happily. But in just a day or so, the hardening process that turns the viscous mix of powders and water into a solid had moved so far that the ball was a massively tough, hardened lump that felt like a rock - and bounced like one, meaning not at all. I spoke to Lakeland Cust. Serv. and they did refund me, but disappointing to see it back this year. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for the review and taking the time to ring our customer services team. I'm glad we were able to put things right.
"Fantastic!" star star star star star This ball making kit is fantastic! It sounds unbelievable that simply pouring the powder into the mold, submerging it in water for 3 mins, leaving it in the mold for a further 5 mins will produce a bouncy ball but it does!!! We all enjoyed making this ball but it was a present for my Son (age 7 at the time) so he did the bulk of it and 'designed' it. A really worthwhile present and I wish they hadn't sold out as I would've bought several more for his friends birthdays! Definitely a recommended purchase if Lakeland decide to sell it again! support_agent A note from the team Thanks for taking the time to write your review. I'll be sure to pass on your request.
