Material & Construction
Each Koosh Ball is constructed from natural rubber filaments that extend from a solid rubber core. The filaments are individually molded and permanently attached, ensuring they won’t pull off during vigorous play.
The rubber compound we use is non-toxic, latex-free, and tested to meet ASTM F963 toy safety standards. This makes every Koosh Ball safe for children and adults alike. The soft, flexible filaments compress on impact, delivering a gentle catch that won’t sting hands—even after dozens of tosses.
Sensory & Therapeutic Benefits
Tactile Stimulation
The Koosh Ball’s unique texture provides rich sensory feedback. The rubber filaments stimulate nerve endings in the hands, making it a popular choice among occupational therapists and special education teachers.
Stress Relief & Focus
Squeezing, tossing, or simply running your fingers through the filaments can help redirect nervous energy and improve focus. Many users keep a Koosh Ball at their desk as a discrete fidget tool during meetings or study sessions.
Care & Maintenance
Koosh Balls are built to last, but a little care keeps them looking and performing their best. For routine cleaning, rinse under warm water and apply a small amount of mild dish soap. Gently work the soap through the filaments with your fingers, then rinse thoroughly.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber to harden over time. Store your Koosh Ball in a cool, dry place when not in use. If filaments become dusty or sticky, a quick rinse restores the original texture.

For deeper cleaning, you can soak the ball in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or machine washing, as these can degrade the rubber over time.

If a filament is cut or torn due to sharp objects or excessive force, the ball will still function, though the texture may be slightly affected. We stand behind our construction quality—if you experience defects, reach out to our support team.
Absolutely! Koosh Balls are lightweight and durable enough for outdoor play. They work great in backyards, parks, or playgrounds.
