A play and/or exercise hoop includes an inner wall having a top edge and a bottom edge and an outer wall having a top edge and a bottom edge. A bottom edge of the outer wall is attached to the bottom edge of the inner wall to define a bottom edge of the hoop. A rounded top-portion is attached to the top edge of the inner wall and a top edge of the outer wall. The hoop may have an iridescent film or transparent film bonded to its outer surfaces.
