How many balls are needed?

[Deleted]

Made you look!  But really, how many balls are needed for a ball pit in a kiddy pool?  A's party is next weekend and I'm going to set up a ball pit in a kiddy pool. 

I am horrible with guessing numbers.  Whenever you have to guess numbers for those stupid game things, I am the one who guesses 200 when there are thousands and guess thousands when there are like 60.

I need this answer too, but I am guessing it depends on the size of the pool!

We just got a ball pit, it's not a pool but one of those taller ones. We have 170 balls and ours is full. I would say 200 for yours?

They sell them in packs of 16 or 100, that I have seen. I think it depends on the size of it (TWSS), but maybe start with a pack of 100 and add a couple 16 packs if it looks too empty.

I didn't read your post but going by the title my answer is 2. The correct amount is 2. Although one will suffice. Three I think would be too many.

Depends on the size of your pool. We had one at home that was good with 200 balls but we got a bigger one for her party and had 400 balls. They have packs of 100 for $7 at Walmart. I can look up the size of the pool we used if you want...

I guess I need to figure the size of the pool first.  That is a great deal on balls!  I try to avoid Wal-mart, but you can't beat their balls!

LOL at, "Beat their balls".

I had this one for the party:

And just a regular "two ring" one for home.

We had a ring pool, and I ordered 200. I'm not sure what the dimensions of the pool are though. I think our pool is similar to this - m.target.com/p/banzai-kids-splash-aqua-cool-pool/-/A-13789232.

Yes!  This is the size pool I had in mind.  About how many kids fit in it at a time?  I think I'm going to have around 10 kids or so.

This is what I'm envisioning.  So how many balls is that?  5?  5000?  See, I'm so bad at this.  I guess I will start with 200.

That picture looks like more than 200- that's a 3 ring pool so maybe 300? In the pool I had at the party about 5 or 6 babies fit comfortably.

ETA: I just looked at my pictures- maybe it was more likev3-4 at a time.

I'm almost positive this is the exact pool we have.  I shouldn't have used past tense in my previous post becuase we haven't had her party yet, and my balls haven't arrived.  I guess I will be heading to Walmart if we need more.  DH was throwing a fit about having 200 balls in the house; lord knows what he'll say when I tell him we need more!
