Bobble Head Disaster Aversion?

Post date: 2025-05-20 04:06:39

My 8 year old, who likes to field fly balls in his room Dalton Varsho style, also wants to keep bobble heads on an open shelf out of their boxes in his room. For reasons that make sense to him but would take a long time to explain, he thinks there's no risk here. But there most definitely is risk. Which would be fine, except that he's going to be upset when reality proves him wrong. If I get some sort of clear display case/box for each bobblehead is that likely to be useful at all, or will it just keep the broken bobble head pieces together in a box when the inevitable happens?

A beautiful Jose Bautista bat-flip bobble head has already died in the exact place he thinks is perfectly safe.

Yes, I'm aware, that no fly balls inside would also protect the bobble heads. But since nothing else in his room is breakable I've mostly said "keep it in your room" and been fine with that. He's essentially throwing the ball a couple of feet into the air and then jumping and catching it in the air or diving to catch it. it's actually his own body slamming around that is the bigger danger than the ball itself.
