Perfect Sensory Toy for Autistic Child

December 26, 2024 - By Catfrom Aurora, Colorado

Bought this toy for my 7 year old autistic grandson. He loves toys that he can flick back and forth while stimming. Usually, he gets bored with sensory toys fast. It is always a challenge to find something that will sustain his interest for more than a half of an hour. He got this toy on Christmas Day and played with it for hours. Great sensory toy.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Curiosity Builder

July 21, 2024 - By Alyssa Waitefrom Fishers, IN

Very engaging sphere to talk about small to big objects, and the process of it expanding. My boys love to pretend it’s a meteor that crash landed and expand it and place small toy objects in like an action figure. Engaging and promotes curiosity and imagination.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

relaxation

May 15, 2024 - By Elizabeth Frisbiefrom Palmyra, IL

As an school-based mental health consultant, I love to use the Hoberman Sphere to demonstrate the in and out of relaxation breathing. It is a concrete way to show children what expanding their lungs with air looks like.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for one-on-one or in a group setting, this is a perfect visual to simulate breathing and encouraging others to do more of it.
