Obut Junior Unicorn: the boule that makes children’s eyes sparkle
A unicorn on the playing field: the magic starts here
One look is all it takes: the Obut Junior Unicorn ball is no ordinary pétanque ball. With its delicate markings and finely engraved unicorn design, it immediately captures children's attention. It holds that little spark of soul, that touch of poetry that inspires play, laughter, and imagination…
Because a pétanque ball can be more than just an object – it can be the beginning of a story.
A ball that inspires dreams… and play
The unicorn is a universal symbol of imagination and freedom. By placing it on a ball designed for children, we offer them more than just a game:
- a magical play companion
- an object that comforts and amazes
- a design that turns every throw into a magical adventure
Children no longer just learn how to aim, they step into a world where the playing field becomes a kingdom, the jack becomes a treasure to reach, and every game tells a story.
Light & gentle: designed for little hands
To let the magic truly happen, the Obut Junior Unicorn has been made with all the softness a child needs.
- It’s lightweight, so young players can enjoy the game without getting tired.
- It feels good in the hand, comforting, easy to hold.
- It offers the same quality as an adult Leisure ball, simply adapted for small hands and family play.
Everything has been designed so that children can focus on what matters most: the joy of playing and sharing special moments with their loved ones.
A gentle introduction to first sporting emotions
Throwing, aiming, succeeding… or missing and trying again. With our Junior Unicorn ball, children discover the first sensations of the game:
- the smile when the ball gets close to the jack
- the pride of a successful throw
- the bond created through a shared family game
Pétanque becomes a soft, playful, and caring way to learn. A moment where kids grow without even noticing.
Childhood, joy, magic: the spirit of the Junior Unicorn
With this model, Obut offers more than just a new ball:
- a tribute to childhood
- a burst of joy
- an invitation to play freely and dream big
The Obut Junior Unicorn doesn’t just roll across the gravel…
It creates memories, sparks smiles, and leaves a little magic in every game.
All of Obut’s know-how and quality in the Junior Unicorn model
At Obut, quality isn’t a marketing argument, it’s in our DNA. Our Loisir Inox balls are made entirely of stainless steel, the result of years of research and a patented Obut® technology developed in our historic factory in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, in the Loire region of France.
Obut is the only brand in the world to offer leisure pétanque balls made entirely of stainless steel.
The stainless steel we use is:
- Completely rustproof (no rust on the hands)
- Naturally long-lasting in color
- Highly resistant to wear
- Pleasant to the touch with excellent natural grip
And because we care about the future of the game, since 2016 we’ve eliminated chrome treatments, for cleaner production and a zero-waste factory.
In every child’s game, a memory is being made and a little magic comes to life.
And in every shared smile, a story begins. Because to play is to offer childhood a small piece of eternity.
