Abstract:
A playground toy which is easily accessible to, and easily graspable by, a small child, a wheelchair-bound individual, or any other person with limited mobility. The playground toy generally includes a spherical-shaped ball, a ring handle, and an axle connecting the ball to the ring handle. The ring handle has a slightly different diameter than a diameter of the ball to ensure that the toy will return to the child and/or individual playing with the playground toy if, for some reason, the toy rolls away from the child and/or individual. Thus, the toy will roll away from the child and/or individual for the first half of a circular path and, if the toy continues to roll, the toy will roll towards the child and/or individual for the other half of the circular path. The ring handle provides an efficient gripping structure for picking up the ball.
