Weierken 6-Pack Monkey Stringy Balls, Soft Active Sensory Toys, Colorful Bouncy Ball/Rainbow Pom Ball/Squeeze and Stress Balls/Fun Fidget Toys, Halloween, Christmas, New Year Party Supplies

I'm ok with my purchase at this price point thus far but I'm not thrilled. I like the 6 pack at just over $2 per, in comparison to actual Koosh balls which are 3X that on here. These are quiet time fidget toys for children and I only just received them so I'm unsure how long they will hold up and this review will change if they fall apart.Negatives:- This material is not the same as koosh material, it's thick I guess but it isn't stretchy and you can't hold 1 string and bounce it up and down which was my favorite thing to do with Koosh balls as a kid. It lacks the elasticity to do that.- The amount of strings is probably 60% of a regular Koosh. While there are some out there which look AWFUL, these look pretty okay but there is a noticeable fewer string count.- The smell: While not AWFUL, it's quite potent and doesn't smell great. I soaked these in a bleach and water solution and then again in a disinfectant and water solution and the smell is still there though not as strong. I hope it will fade in time.The positives: it's still a fun tactile experience, it's a decent price, they look colorful and fun. If I knew what I was going to get before buying these, I would still buy them but gosh do I wish they were more like the actual Koosh brand and if the price difference wasn't so steep, I would not recommend these knock-offs.

They don't feel like Koosh. It's a different material and not quite as full. I used them as party favors and they met my needs without being too expensive. I've kept one for months and its held up to play.

Purchased as fidget toys for a class of 7th graders. About half the size of standard Koosh balls, but otherwise they're the same thing at a better price.

We bought these because we played with them as children and loved them, so now having children of our own we wanted to share the memories with our kids! And they were a huge success! These are built way stronger then the ones we had as kids but that’s not anything to complain about! The kiddos love them and we love that they are technology free “use your imagination” toys! They are so perfect!

As others have said, these balls are fairly flat, however, my primary concern is the safety. They have a STRONG chemical smell-- similar to acetone. Tried cleaning multiple ways but couldn't get rid of the smell. Returning.

It’s pretty disappointing that these string balls aren’t as thick as they appear to be in the stock photos. They practically flatten out when they are put on a hard surface. Some of the balls are disproportionate being thinner one one side and thicker on another, as if they have taken on a flattened shape from being pressed for too long.They also have a strong chemical odor. I don’t recommend these.

Grabbed these as extras for a game we picked up at 5 and below when we shot our only one on the roof haha. They are perfect substitutes!
