Rhode Island Novelty25 PC Stress Ball Toy Assortment, 25 Pieces per Order

Who could not like a yellow smiley face? They served the purpose I got them for, but tear up pretty quick with handling-if kids are rough, or bite them etc.

I purchased this set of squeeze balls to be used in a classroom for student that have trouble sitting in a seat, have to move and fidget, become angry or stressed easily, and simply need a positive noiseless way to expend some energy. I removed the squeeze balls that were in the shape of ordinary outside game type balls (basketball, soccer ball, Football) because I didn't want the kids to associate them with the idea of kicking throwing or bouncing them in the room. Since it was such a large set and for an inexpensive price, I still had plenty to use. Our favorites in the set are actually the stars. The stars are almost the perfect shape for wrapping fingers around the points.After a weeks worth of use, the kids still enjoy using these when they need to in the class. We now have a signal for the kid that starts bouncing his pencil. I use my hand in a squeezing motion to them and they know that I am saying to use the stress ball instead. They now get them out and stop bouncing their pencils. This has made everyone around them happier, but especially the teacher. I know these may not be intended specifically for this purpose, but they are working very well for this purpose.I did not receive any discounts, products, or compensation for my review of this product. I am just hoping to help others out with some great ideas as to how to put these squeeze balls into good use. The classroom is a nicer place with these squeeze balls.

These stress balls are cute and sturdy, but hard to squeeze. They serve their purpose though.

I hesitated making this purchase per the reviews, but I wanted to give these to many people as "a little something extra" & didn't want to pay for individual stress balls. I didn't need this many, but doing so got me them for about 50c each. After seeing them, I definitely wouldn't pay more than 50c each, and the smallest 4 in my picture, I wouldn't pay more than a quarter each (they seem old). I did end up with 28 which was a surprise since some reviews stated getting less than the advertised 25. The assortment is decent & the big globes look cool (better than the little earths in the item listing), however they & the big yellow ones with ugly faces are more like balls to play catch with but still made of the foam. They are too big & stiff for a child to squeeze. An adult can squeeze them, but not in an effective stress ball way (if that makes sense). In my picture the size of the hand is that of an average womans to show you about what size the balls are. They all vary in how dense they are - even among like balls. They will serve a simple purpose, but I wouldn't buy again.

Great for the price. This product lost a star because I received 23 instead of 25 pieces. Had to contact Amazon and they can only refund my order so that I can re order them. It’s really not worth my time to drive to UPS and return them. Plus I had the risk of receiving my order late for the party. Sucks for me but other than that, great product

These were perfect! I bought these for the nurses at my Chemo Infusion Center for taking such good care of my during my chemotherapy. They were perfect, they use these to encourage ‘blood flow’ In patients like me that have very small veins. Patients have a tendency of walking away with them. These 50 should hold them for awhile.

Very nice for a prize box! However, you only get one football and one baseball. I got many stars & globes; kind of deceiving since you’d think you’d get even amounts of each type. Of course, kids all want the sports ones.

Bought them as stocking stuffers at work. My coworkers loved them. Was only 4 sports related balls everything else was happy faces and globes.
