5.0 out of 5 stars Cool toy for imaginative play, December 16, 2002

By	Heather "zubzubzub" (OH) - See all my reviews

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars

it doesnt matter which one you get.. as long as it is big enough for your child to fit inside.

first of all it is just cool. It starts out little and when you pick it up is gets REALLY big. The medium ones are big enough for an average sized adult to sit in. When you roll it fast enough it expands.

It is great for imaginitve play. My daughter (3) likes to use it as a "cage" for her toy animals... or herself when she is pretending to be a dog or something. Sometimes she just sits in it to watch TV.
Its a neat toy for ages 2-7. Kids older than that will think it's neat, but I cant see them using it as much.

Special Gift Idea:
I have a cousin in-law (she is in her late teens) who is mentally handicapped. I showed her the ball and she went ecstatic. She played with it for about an hour. I'm going to get her one of the HUGE (60$) models for christmas because she will be able to fit into that one.
If you happen to know someone like that this is the ULTIMATE gift. Number 1 recomendation of any toy Ive ever seen for that catagory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoberman repells Doberman, June 16, 2003

By A Customer

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars

Keep this toy on hand if terrorized by roaming packs of wild dogs. My dog, a real meanie when it comes to people, runs away in terror from this toy that expands as it bounces in his direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars My boys love this!!, June 3, 2007

By	M. Ostrowski "MRS-O" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

I have two toddler boys who get a great kick out of this toy ... not to mention my husband who loves it just as much! When playing with the Hoberman Sphere they are very engaged in trying to figure out how it works, you can almost see the little wheels in their brain turning. They try many different things with it and it keeps their imaginations flowing! We have had this for over a year and they still love playing with it!
