Product Description
This Glow-in-the-Dark Mini-Sphere dramatically expands from 5-1/2" to 12" and looks especially cool in the dark as the green hubs glow in the dark while the purple struts drop out of sight! Push on any hub, tap it or roll it and it magically closes again. It makes an especially fun nightlight!

Hoberman Glow in the dark Mini Sphere October 24, 2004

When looking for a gift for a child with autism or sensory issues this is one item that is sure to delight. Also suitable for an office buddy. This might pinch little fingers though.

Some may say they have a difficult time finding items for special needs kids to give for holiday gifts or birthday presents.

This will expand from 5 ½" to 12". The texture is very different and actually not pleasant for me due to having eczema on my hands. I feel it irritates my skin, but luckily both my sons have played with the Hoberman® Mini Sphere since I introduced it to them.

The Hoberman® Mini Sphere consists of black and neon green hubs. They can be snapped in place to keep the circled shape so you can roll it along the floor. We enjoyed the glow-in-the-dark effect by entering the bathroom and turning off the lights to see the magic.

The Hoberman® Mini Sphere almost resembles a miniature holiday tree in the upright position. This will stand flat and returns to this position after being opened. I had my non-verbal autistic son sit in front of me on the floor as I demonstrated the opening and closing sequence to the Hoberman® Mini Sphere. This is quite mesmerizing to watch and it has a sound effect of the hubs flicking one another during this process.

This is a great stress buster for your desk at work or the home office and a fun crowd pleaser at a party. Since this is also glow-in-the-dark it would be good for outdoors in the summer time.

My older son liked to place his hand inside and twirl the Sphere around. The price is a bit steep, but it has stayed in great condition thus far.
