|---|---|---|---|
| DNA Ball | Colourful mini beads in gel | Visually stimulating, squishy & satisfying | Can burst under pressure or sharp nails |
| Mesh Ball | Gel-filled, pops through mesh | Visual “bubble” pop effect, helps vent stress | Mesh can fray; not ideal for rough squeezing |
| Sugar Ball | Smooth fine gel | Super soft & slow-moving – calming feel | May split if overstretched or bitten |
| Spiky Ball (Jelly Style) | Rubber jelly with soft spikes | Tactile input, great for sensory seekers | Picks up dirt easily; may be too tickly for some |
| Colour-Changing Ball | Thermochromic gel | Changes colour with heat – great for focus | Works best with warm hands; may harden in cold |
| Glow-in-the-Dark Ball | Glow gel or rubber | Fun in low light, adds novelty | Needs “charging” in light for best glow |

| Stretchy Rubber Ball | Thick elastic rubber | Stretch, roll, bounce – very durable | No soft squish – more resistance than others |
