Koosh Ball 3 Inch, Americana Red White and Blue

Same 3-inch ball we have always made, dressed for the Fourth of July block party. The red, white and blue strands are mixed through the whole sphere, so it looks like a firework caught mid-pop when it sails across the yard. Hand it out as a parade favor, drop it in a summer camp bag, or keep it on the desk for when your fingers need something to do. It still lands soft, still refuses to bounce, and still finds its way back to whoever wants it most.

• Patriotic red, white and blue filaments woven through one classic 3-inch ball
• A ready-made party favor for July 4th, Memorial Day and summer cookouts
• Lightweight grip that small kids can squeeze, toss and catch without a flinch
• Doubles as a quiet desk fidget once the parade is over

How we play it: Hand a few of these out before the fireworks and run a quick relay: children pass the ball down the line, and anyone who drops it does a star jump. The 3-inch diameter is easy for small hands, and the patriotic colors are simple to spot on a dark lawn.
