Everything you want to know about the Little Talks Ball.
Still have a question after this? Contact us — we answer every one.
How does it actually work?
Toss the ball to your child. When they catch it, whichever question their thumb lands on is the one they answer. Then they toss it back and it's your turn. That's the whole game: toss, catch, and talk. No cards to shuffle, no app to open, no rules to explain. Every catch lands on a different question, so no two rounds are the same.
Who is it for?
It's built for parents who want an easy way to connect with their kids — ages about 4 and up. The questions are written to be simple enough for a young child to answer and genuinely interesting for grown-ups too, so you're answering right alongside them. It works at the dinner table, in the backyard, or on a road trip — anywhere you want a real conversation instead of "fine."
Is it a real soccer ball? Can you actually kick it?
Yes. It's a Size 3 soccer ball (the standard youth size), made from 2.7 mm PVC with screen-printed panels. You can kick it, dribble it, and play with it like any ball — the questions are printed to hold up to real play. We designed it to live outside, not sit on a shelf.
What size is it? How big is it in a child's hands?
Size 3 is the standard youth soccer ball size — about 18.7 cm across (roughly 23 inch circumference) and around 310 grams. It fits easily in a child's two hands, which is the point: when they catch it, they can hold it, read the question, and answer without fumbling.
What questions are on the ball?
There are 30 conversation-starting questions printed across 32 panels (the other two panels carry the Homefield logo and a QR code that links to the product page). Here are all 30:

What's the QR code for?
One panel has a QR code that takes you straight to the Little Talks Ball product page — the same place you can revisit the full question list and see how to play. Scan it with any phone camera. No app download required.
Does it come inflated?
It ships deflated to keep the packaging compact and shipping efficient. It inflates in a minute with any standard ball pump needle — the same kind used for soccer balls and basketballs. Most families already have one; if not, they're a few dollars at any sporting goods store.
