Easy to catch - hard to give up! Your child will have a lot of fun with a kosh ball. It's a completely different ball. The many elastic bands feel soft and tickle a bit. It's easy to hold, throw, catch and it doesn't roll away.
The mondo is larger and heavier and therefore more present in the hand. A little history: Koosh balls entertain people of all ages with their amazing versatility and tactile feel, but they are actually designed to teach small children how to catch. In 1987, Scott Stillinger thought his children's little hands couldn't grip a ball properly. He tied rubber bands together to create a small ball that was easy to grasp, even for small children's hands.
While looking for a name for this unusual toy, he noticed the sound the ball makes when it lands in his hands. The Koosh ball was born.
