Natural Rubber Construction & Durability
Our extra large Koosh ball uses premium natural rubber filaments that deliver the perfect balance of softness and resilience. Each strand is individually molded and secured to a solid rubber core, creating a ball that maintains its shape through thousands of compression cycles.
The natural rubber material provides inherent flexibility without relying on plasticizers or synthetic additives. This means your Koosh ball stays soft and springy for years, even with daily use. The multi-color filaments are dyed during the molding process, so colors won’t fade or transfer onto hands.
Sizing & Sensory Benefits
The 8-inch diameter makes this our most immersive sensory experience. When you hold an extra large Koosh ball, your hands engage with dozens of soft filaments simultaneously, creating rich tactile feedback that smaller versions can’t match.
Why Size Matters for Sensory Play
Occupational therapists often recommend larger tactile tools because they provide more surface area for sensory input. Our extra large ball works beautifully for proprioceptive activities—toss it back and forth to practice coordination, squeeze it for hand strengthening, or simply hold it during moments when you need grounding sensory feedback.
Care & Maintenance
Keeping your extra large Koosh ball clean is simple. For routine maintenance, rinse it under warm water and gently squeeze to work water through the filaments. A drop of mild dish soap helps remove oils or dirt that accumulate from regular handling.
After washing, shake vigorously to remove excess water, then let it air dry completely. The natural rubber filaments shed water quickly, so drying takes just a few hours in a well-ventilated space. Avoid direct sunlight during drying, as prolonged UV exposure can gradually degrade natural rubber.

Common Questions About the Extra Large Koosh Ball
The extra large Koosh ball measures 8 inches in diameter, while our standard classic size is 3 inches. That means it's nearly three times larger in diameter and offers significantly more surface area for tactile engagement.
The extra large version contains over 2,000 rubber filaments compared to approximately 600 on the classic, creating a much more immersive sensory experience. It also weighs about 12 ounces versus 2 ounces for the standard size, giving it a more substantial feel and different bounce characteristics.
Yes, our extra large Koosh ball is safe for children ages 3 and up. The soft natural rubber filaments have no sharp edges or hard surfaces that could cause injury.
The 8-inch size actually makes it safer for younger children in some ways—it's large enough that it cannot pose a choking hazard, and the substantial size makes it easier for small hands to catch. However, we always recommend adult supervision during play, especially if children are throwing the ball indoors near breakable objects.
Absolutely. We recommend rinsing your extra large Koosh ball under warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap whenever it needs cleaning. Gently squeeze the ball while rinsing to work water through all the filaments.
After washing, shake off excess water and let it air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The natural rubber dries quickly, usually within a few hours. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the rubber over time.
The extra large Koosh ball does bounce, though its bounce pattern is gentler and slower than a traditional rubber ball. The soft filaments absorb some impact energy, creating a controlled bounce that makes it easier to catch.
This makes it excellent for indoor tossing games where you want to avoid the chaos of a high-bouncing ball. Many customers use it specifically because it provides enough bounce for interactive play without ricocheting unpredictably around the room.
Our extra large Koosh ball is designed for durability. Each filament is individually molded into a solid rubber core during manufacturing, creating a secure bond that withstands thousands of squeezes and tosses.
With normal use, you should not experience filament loss. Some customers have used their Koosh balls daily for years without any degradation. The natural rubber is resilient and maintains its elasticity over time when stored properly and kept away from extreme temperatures.
We offer the extra large Koosh ball in several vibrant multi-color combinations. Popular options include rainbow (full spectrum colors), blue and green, pink and purple, and red and orange.
Color availability varies based on current inventory, but all options feature the same high-quality natural rubber construction and 8-inch diameter. Each color combination uses fade-resistant dyes applied during the molding process, so your Koosh ball will maintain its vibrant appearance through years of use.
Yes, many therapists specifically request our extra large Koosh ball for hand-strengthening and proprioceptive activities. The 8-inch size provides substantial resistance when squeezed, making it effective for building grip strength.
The soft texture is comfortable even during extended therapy sessions, and the size works well for both adults and children. Therapists also use it for coordination exercises like catching and tossing, where the gentle bounce and easy-to-grip surface support skill development without frustration.
