nerf balls

Spongy indoor toys

Nerf balls are soft foam balls designed for safe indoor play, unlikely to break objects or injure anyone.

The Nerf brand introduced them in the 1970s, and the name now applies generically to similar lightweight foam toys: The kids were throwing nerf balls around the living room.

The softness makes them ideal for young children and spaces where harder balls would cause damage.
