Natural Rubber Construction & Tactile Design
Every Hasbro Koosh Ball features more than 2,000 individual rubber filaments hand-tied around a solid core. We use natural rubber for its flexibility, durability, and safe tactile properties.
The filaments compress on impact and spring back instantly, creating a satisfying sensory experience with every catch. This unique construction makes the ball nearly impossible to drop — the tendrils naturally grip fingers and palms, building confidence in young players.
Size, Weight & Age Recommendations
The standard Hasbro Koosh Ball measures approximately 3 inches in diameter when the filaments are at rest. This palm-friendly size works perfectly for ages 3 and up, though many adults keep one at their desk for stress relief.
Weighing just 1.5 ounces, the ball is light enough for toddlers to throw safely indoors without risk of breaking household items. The soft rubber construction means no hard surfaces to cause injury during active play.
Cleaning & Care Instructions
Routine Cleaning
Keeping your Hasbro Koosh Ball fresh is simple. Hand wash with mild dish soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze out excess water and air dry completely before storage.
Avoid machine washing or placing the ball in a dryer, as high heat can damage the natural rubber filaments. For stubborn dirt accumulated during outdoor play, use a soft-bristle brush to clean between the tendrils.
