Hoberman Bounceback Mini Sphere (Color May Vary)

I use these spheres as breathing visuals in children's yoga classes. I needed another one and purchased this based on the selling price. The item arrived with multiple broken pieces inside of the bag and then when I took the item out of the bag several of the arms broke as soon as I tried to open the sphere. I am disappointed in the item and I am returning for a refund. I do not recommend purchasing this particular item due to poor construction quality and shipping.

Pretty neat toy, but as 3 and 5 year olds go, they were able to break one of the two I bought within a day by chipping an edge/joint off one area. Still worked for a while, but eventually after a few months, they had to be tossed due to several breaks. They are made of plastic, and not all that tough, but assumed they would not last all that long due to other reviews. The "neatness' had worn off with my kids by the time the spheres were too damaged to use anymore.

It may not hold up as well as tree name brand product, but for the price and a little care it hooks up just fine, my child likes to play with it well enough and so far only one joint keeps coming undone, I just put it back every so often and no harm done.

I bought this for my 6-year-old daughter, who is on the spectrum, after we went somewhere where there was an extra large version of these spheres that she loved (she could actually step inside of that one when it was expanded). She loves this mini sphere and so do my older daughters and my nieces, so I'll most likely be buying more for Christmas.

These are great for stress relief in my classroom.

These are great for refocusing and fun to play with! However, by the end of the school year, all three of these were broken in at least one place.

broken in 6 places when arrived

Great to use as a decoration. However, if your brother gets a hold of it. That’s the end of that. It broke apart.
