Great Toy.
Our six year old can't put it down. Our 14 year old and 22 year old love to play with it.

Colorful and entertaining
At first,kept childs interest,however,she wanted the sphere to stay open so she could get inside it! Managed to do so ,only we had to hold it open. Is very effective as a manipulative for toddlers

Durable and educational
I love watching my son play with this shere. He likes to climb inside and let it collapse and then make it large again. You can see him trying to figure out how it works. He stretches it at times and it holds up so it is well worth the money.

Entertaining for all ages
I don't know what it is about this sphere, but babies and big kids alike are drawn to it...and can spend an hour opening and closing it. I like that because it doesn't force some external stimulus on them. You know they're using their minds and imagination with it, and still thinking it's fun. And it is very durable, because I have seen 80-pound kids try to fold up inside of it and then jump on top of it, and it's still in perfect condition.

Hoberman sphere, an amazing gift for young children
My son got his rainbow Hoberman sphere as a gift from his Grandma when he was four years old. He is almost seven now, and he still plays with the sphere occasionally. I have noticed that his friends toddler siblings are obsessed with the sphere, both boys, both recently turned three love to play with the sphere. My son's room is cluttered with toys, yet every time the three-year-old boys come over, they find the sphere and that is all they play with. They aren't four, but they enjoy the sphere and I got one each for their third birthday and their mothers were happy, and believed the three-year-olds were too big for some 3+ toys anyways! I am almost 28, and I am amazed at the workmanship of the Hoberman sphere!
