Abstract

An interactive play system (100) and method of interactive play is provided in which a plurality of interactive play elements (134, 250, 280) are provided for creating various desired effects utilizing soft foam balls (104) or other suitable play media. The interactive play system (100) comprises a multi-level support structure (102) on which the interactive play elements are disposed. These allow play participants (105) to create desired play effects using a fun and familiar play medium. Some of the play elements may be multi-order play elements in that they receive play media from a first effect to create yet another effect. Various play-participant-operated conveyers (140, 170, 172) are provided throughout the structure (100) for transporting play media from a source to the various interactive play elements.
