Abstract
A kick toy that is used to help the user develop hand-eye-foot coordination skills. This is accomplished by giving the user the opprtunity to control the inflatable ball with the elastic cord that is attached to the ball. The inflatable ball is connected to a plastic plug which is inserted into the ball sealing the ball after the ball is inflated. The plastic plug is then connected to an elastic cord which is also connected to a swivel or hook device. The Swivel or hook device is then connected to a metal grommet with is mounted to the hook and loop wristband. The hook and loop wristband it then wraped around the users wrist and closed using the hook and loop material. The user then kickes the ball away from him or herself. The elastic cord causes the ball to return to the user. This can be repeated to long periods of time. This invention eliminates the frustration of retrieving the ball time after time and allows the user to spend more time developing their hand-eye-foot coordination skills.
