Tedco Toys HS104 Hoberman Original Rainbow Sphere

I purchased a similar item in 2000 and now my 32 year old son wanted one to make bubbles. Excellent!

Great Christmas gift for the kids! They had to have one of their own after playing with the sphere ball at a friend's house.

The only thing I didn't love is that the price is a bit steep. However, my kids have a blast with this thing. It is tall enough that they can stand in the middle of it. Even adults have fun playing with it.

Great toy playground for birds

I use this as a visual aid in the classroom (I'm a teacher) and the students love it!

My eight and seven years old son loves this. It is very durable.

A huge hit for kids! Tossing the sphere and seeing it enlarge and contract is fascinating even for adults!

My oldest got this as a birthday gift when she was three. She is twelve now and it is still in great shape after nine years of continous play. It's been a favorite toy of all my children and every child who has ever been to my house to play. One of the simpliest toys, but probably the absolute best.

Returned this even before giving to my grandchild, we opened it to check it out,couldn't fold and unfold as shown when we tried to fold back up pieces started popping off! Did buy the smaller version and our grandchild is very happy with it!

This toy/ball/sphere was interesting and entertained for a little bit. I bought this toy for my son who turned 7. He was interested at first, then we noticed it just collapsed after a few seconds. They did have a good time rolling it down the stairs because it collapse. Other than that we didn't bother putting it on the ceiling because their was nothing more to it. I think this toy would have been better if it had some sort of locking mechanism so it can actually stay as a sphere. We returned the item because my boys got bored with it. The price was way too expensive $28.00, if it was just $12.99 then maybe we would have kept it. Or not. Instead we got lego creators in exchange.
