Traditional croquet features rock-hard balls that are just destined to crash through a window or cause a gnarly bruise if the kids are unsupervised. That’s why we recommend a kick croquet set! Featuring giant wickets and soft, cloth-covered balls, this version of the game is player-friendly for a range of ages. Check it out in our collection of awesome backyard game options.
