This thing is freaking cool!
My youngest daughter (7) begged for a hoberman sphere for Christmas. I looked everywhere for one including target and my local learning resources store but there’s only expanded up to 18 inches, pathetic. I found this one on Amazon and was amazed at how big it got. This was a big hit for both my daughters my youngest can fit her entire body inside the sphere when it’s fully expanded. The sphere comes with ideas on games to play with it which both my girls had fun doing. Its held up great to all the play, so it seems very durable. Don’t pass this great stem item up!

Amazing!
Big, stretchy, and amazing. The hinges move smoothly, and the structure of the sphere doesn’t collapse as can happen with the knock-off brands. Added bonus: this one is BIG. The kids love to stand inside it and wear it.

Now she has her own Hoberman Sphere
This arrived quickly and the box was in great condition, but the product box inside was broken. Since this was to be a gift I needed good packaging, so I spent considerable time with packing tape to get it back together. Fortunately the Sphere was in great condition, and a big hit with the 3 yr old great grand daughter who received it. Now, maybe, she will leave mine alone. It's a great Science Toy and one that becomes very popular quickly. I bought mine when Chuck Hoberman first put them on the market. I had met him back when working on a NASA project, so had to have one when it first became available..

Purchased for bubble fun
This was purchased so we could have some bubble fun. It was perfect & durable. The kids could easily open, swing it around and close it. It added a lot of fun to our summer bubble adventures.

Sturdy!
My grandson wanted one of the bigger expandable balls. I got this one for him and was quite impressed with the quality. It is sturdy and well-constructed. It expands and contracts quite easily.
