The Toymaker could conjure a set of juggling balls into existence using his elemental powers, which functioned as other balls did; they could be tossed by an individual for their own amusement or entertainment, like with juggling, or used to play a game of catch with.

The Toymaker conjured three of juggling balls when the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna Noble entered his toy emporium in 1925Soho. He juggled the balls in his hands while reciting a tale about how the ball and the game of catch was the first game humanity ever created, intercutting each of his sentences by launching a ball at the Doctor and Donna, which the Doctor would catch and discard as the Toymaker conjured a replacement ball, carrying on the tale. By the time he reached the end of his story, he launched a final ball at them, but Donna intercepted and caught it, saying she had had "enough". Impressed, the Toymaker dematerialised the balls.

Later, atop the UNIT HQ in 2023 London, the Toymaker conjured another ball when he accepted the challenge to play a game of catch against the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors. He attempted to get the Fourteenth Doctor off-guard by lobbing the ball at him without warning, but, while he was knock to the floor, the Doctor managed to catch it and the game officially began. Eventually, (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) the Doctor managed to trick the Doctors managed to trick the Toymaker by pulling a feint, (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"]) with the Fifteenth Doctor tossing the ball beyond the Toymaker's reach, and the ball disappeared over the UNIT HQ helipad, costing the Toymaker the game and resulting in his banishment from existence.
