The Origin Story: In 1986, engineer Scott Stillinger was having trouble teaching his two young kids how to play catch. Balls were too bouncy, and bean bags too heavy. The California resident soon realised that he needed a better ball—one that was soft, wouldn't bounce, and could be grasped easily.

Development: He started with a box of rubber bands and then refined the design of his energy-absorbent ball, eventually settling on natural rubber latex in non-toxic colours.

Company Formation: In late 1986, Stillinger showed a prototype to his brother-in-law, Mark Button, who'd worked in marketing at Mattel. The men—and their wives—were confident enough in the product to quit their jobs and start a toy company called OddzOn Products.

The Name: In 1987 OddzOn Products ran a competition to come up with a name for their invention and after public voting from over 200 possible names, they eventually settled on Koosh Ball, which reportedly they came up with after observing the sound it made when caught.

Market Launch: The Koosh ball hit shelves in 1987, and by 1988, the ball—which a PR person for OddzOn described as a "cross between a porcupine and a bowl of Jell-O"—was a Christmastime bestseller.

Global Expansion: The next year, it was in 14,000 toy stores across the country and available in 20 countries around the world.

Manufacturing Secrecy: OddzOn Products was so wary of competitors stealing its secrets that it kept the exact location of its Silicon Valley manufacturing plant a secret.

Sale and Legacy: Finally in 1994 Stillinger and Button decided to sell OddzOn to the New Jersey Company Russ Berrie and Co., they had sold 50 million Koosh balls and were making an estimated $30 million a year. Hasbro purchased the company in 1997, and today, Hasbro licenses Koosh balls to the company Basic Fun.

Educational Benefits: Koosh balls are excellent for developing hand-eye coordination, motor skills, and providing sensory stimulation for children of all ages.

Therapeutic Applications: Widely used in occupational therapy settings to help children and adults with special needs develop grip strength, coordination, and stress relief.

Party Entertainment: Perfect for party favours, games, and group activities due to their safe, non-bouncing nature.

Stress Relief: The soft, squeezable texture makes Koosh balls excellent stress relief tools for both children and adults.

Safe Indoor Play: Unlike traditional balls, Koosh balls won't damage furniture or breakable items, making them perfect for indoor use.
