Thumball™ has been creating a sensation in New Jersey since it was launched a few months ago. While its use as a game with children and grown-ups is immediately obvious, savvy business owners and industry leaders are catching on to its corporate benefits.

Thumball™ transforms the ball, a toy everyone knows and loves, into a unique tool for corporate communications and is a fantastic way to stimulate creativity, develop thinking skills, and promote team building in a fun and novel way.

Big names such as Bayer Healthcare, BabyCrazy, TIAA-CREF and ASM Group are already fans, visit www.thumball.com for more information.
