How to Create a Ball Pit
You no longer need to go to a special place to enjoy a ball pit; creating a ball pit at home is simple. With your own ball pit you can control how clean your child's play area is, unlike public ball pits that may be teeming with germs. The size and materials used may vary depending on where you purchase them.

Tips & Warnings
An air pump is extremely helpful when filling inflatable toys.
Inflatable pools are available in a variety of locations including toy stores and super stores such as Target or Wal-Mart.
If you have a portable crib that you are not currently using, you could also fill it with plastic balls instead of using an inflatable pool.
Always supervise children while they are playing in a ball pit.
