Buc-ee's Tie Dye Football

Every backyard needs a ball that's easy to throw, easy to catch and easy to find in the grass. This tie-dye football checks all three. The rainbow swirl stands out on a lawn, and the foam is forgiving when a pass hits someone in the face.

People search for it as the Buc-ee's football, the Buc-ee's tie dye football, the Buc-ee's foam football, or the Buc-ee's toy football.

It's a great road trip toy, too. At a rest stop or a hotel lawn, it gets kids moving after hours in the car.

Honest notes. It's a foam football, not a leather game ball, so it's best for backyard catch, the beach and little hands. Older kids who want a real spiral and a regulation feel will want a standard football. The tie-dye pattern is different on every ball, so yours won't match the photo exactly. That's part of the fun. Like any foam toy, it'll show wear if the dog gets hold of it. If tie-dye isn't your style, the Buc-ee's Camo Football and Foam Football Red/Yellow are other options. For a fun, low-stakes game of catch, this one is our pick.
