[image description: a purple-tinted translucent liquid-filled puffer ball-jelly squishy hybrid, filled with pink, blue and yellow plastic insects, sitting inside a clear plastic bag atop a red watermelon slice pillow. The plastic toy insects inside the puffer ball are blurred out by the layers of plastic and the water inside the ball, resulting in pink, blue and yellow blobs. Small, fine purple-tinted protrusions emerge from the ball, but their translucence provides a dimpling effect, like looking at the inside of a see-through golf ball.]

Insect Water Ball - Toyworld, $2 AUD.

Dimensions: 7 cm across when slightly flattened.

On paper, this should be an amazing toy: it’s a liquid-filled squishy with soft spikes on the outside, like a puffer ball, and hard plastic toy insects inside the ball.

I can roll the ball in my hands for texture and poke a finger inside the ball to touch the coloured insects through the skin of the ball, providing more textured things to grab and stroke. I can also squish down on this like a balloon stress ball or puffer ball, causing the ball to bulge on the sides, and pull on the fronds like a puffer ball. And, for all of those things, this ball is amazing. For a fantastic design mingling multiple forms of stimming and sensory options, I give it all the points.

(I promise that those coloured blobs are plastic insects. My old camera isn’t capable of handling a layer of plastic bag, the translucent skin of the ball and the water inside the ball to focus on the insects.)

So why do I have this ball remaining inside its plastic bag, as far away from my desk as I can get it while still remaining in my room?

Smell. I don’t mean the usual plastic puffer ball smell, which I find abhorrent as is but consider a fair risk when buying these. I’m not sure what this smells like--chemical plastic crossed with ammonia? It’s bad. It lingers on my hands for a long time after handling and I can’t wash it away with ordinary hand soap. I’m going to put it outside to see if I can air it, but I’m not hopeful.

If you don’t have any difficulty with chemical odours and you really like the sensory possibilities in this kind of puffer ball/jelly squishy hybrid, you may wish to take a risk on it. Otherwise? I can’t recommend it.

Hey

I’m looking for a puffer ball for stimming. It’s like a ball with squishy “spikes” and I can’t find one anywhere???? (Just type puffer ball in google and you should find images instantly)

It’s sold in the US but in Canada anymore (or is it just Quebec??) or the ones I find are extra small and have some kinda of hard ball in them like wtf.. and it takes all of the space… Who invented that

I just need help finding one w/ free shipping preferably because this one website I found, the puffer ball itself was 0,79$ but with shipping it totalled to 12$,,

PM me if you find something, whether it be on ebay or amazon (or from the stim toys website from the stimming post I reblogged earlier**) . But please make sure it doesn’t have a light in it.

(@world What’s the point of having a squishy puffer ball if there’s a hard ball messing with the squishing who came up with that idea… take your evil lights elsewhere)

**OfficePlayground is where I found the 0,79$ puffer ball and that's too much shipping fees for me
