Koosh Ball Toy | Classic Rubber Sensory Ball
We designed the Koosh ball toy to be the perfect combination of fun and function. Made from hundreds of natural rubber filaments radiating from a solid core, our signature ball bounces, flies, and squishes in ways traditional balls can’t.
Whether you’re juggling, playing catch, or simply seeking tactile sensory input, the Koosh ball delivers. Its unique construction makes it easy to catch and comfortable to hold, while the soft rubber strands provide satisfying sensory feedback with every squeeze. From classrooms to therapy sessions to backyard games, the Koosh ball has been a trusted play companion for over three decades.

Natural Rubber Construction
Every Koosh ball toy features approximately 2,000 individual rubber filaments that radiate from a central core. We use natural rubber for its superior elasticity, durability, and soft touch against skin.
The filaments measure roughly 1.5 inches long, creating the ball’s distinctive appearance and functionality. This design allows the ball to compress when caught or squeezed, then quickly return to its original shape. Unlike foam or plastic alternatives, natural rubber maintains its integrity through thousands of catches, throws, and squeezes.
How to Use Your Koosh Ball
Playing Catch and Games
The Koosh ball’s soft filaments make catching effortless — they grip your hands on contact rather than bouncing away. Toss it gently for younger players or throw fastballs for experienced catchers. The ball travels smoothly through the air and won’t hurt if it hits someone.
Sensory and Focus Activities
Many occupational therapists and teachers use the koosh ball toy for sensory integration activities. Squeezing the ball provides proprioceptive input that can help improve focus and reduce anxiety. The textured surface offers tactile stimulation that many children and adults find calming.
Care and Maintenance
Keep your Koosh ball clean by rinsing it under warm water and using a small amount of mild dish soap. Gently massage the soap through the filaments, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
Allow the ball to air dry completely before storage — we recommend hanging it or placing it on a towel in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight during drying, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade natural rubber over time.
