They always exist: trendy toys that trigger a short-term hype among children. The Moon or Astro Jump Ball is currently trendy. But what actually makes him so popular?
Globe or Astro Jump Ball, Moon Ball, jumping ball or simply jumping ball: There are many different names for a rubber ball that is currently particularly popular. Basically, they are all similar and only differ slightly in material, feel, appearance and handling. But why is the little bouncing ball so popular with children right now? We took a closer look at the trend.
Jump Ball: That’s why it’s trendy
There are certainly a few reasons why Jump ball currently so popular:
- On the one hand: It is colorful and comes with a “galactic” design. Of course this appeals to many kids. The variety is also impressive: the balls are larger, smaller, colorful, not so colorful, bright or have no effect. So there is something for everyone.
- The jumping ball also jumps particularly high and – unlike a small bouncy ball – does not get lost so quickly. He jumps in a more planned manner, which means that you can organize great competitions among the children: Which ball jumps higher? Moon Ball, Astro Jump Ball or the no-name model?
- In addition, the bouncing ball makes a special noise when it hits due to its unusual crater shape. And of course it feels good in the hand and is particularly easy to grip when catching.
- And similar to the Pop-It fidget, there is another advantage with the balls: they serve as an anti-stress toy. Because the softer models can be crushed and the hand-sized bouncy balls can be hurled against the wall or thundered on the floor as hard as you can. Every anti-aggression toy certainly looks old.
Since the balls have a high bounce and are not exactly small or particularly soft, kids should of course be careful when using them in the apartment. Positive: There is no risk of choking even for smaller children; biting off parts of the ball and swallowing them is unlikely. But if you choose a very soft model, you should keep an eye on your small children so that nothing happens. Cases in which, for example, an excessive proportion of the plasticizer DIBP (diisobutyl phthalate) have been detected are not yet known. When purchasing, it is best to pay attention to the reviews from other buyers in order to be able to rule out possible dangers or (quality) defects.
And by the way: Your children should of course not believe promises made on TikTok, such as that the ball will always land back in their hands. Even if you can throw it in a controlled manner. The handy balls are ideal for playing, practicing catching and throwing, exploring gravity and other creative ball games. Also as a party bag at a child’s birthday party.
These jumping balls exist
There are many different models on the market: in bright colors, with stars or a galaxy print, a little harder or squishy so that children can dent them a little. Depending on your preferences, you should choose the right model. As a rule, the Moon Ball is a little harder and more stable than other comparable models. But the following applies to you: test it out and take a picture for yourself.
Moon Ball
The Moon Ball is from a specific brand and is slightly harder than other models. It has very good bounce, but is less easy to crumple in the hand.
Globe or Astro Jump Ball
Other jump balls, like that Astro Jump Ball, which often appears on TikTok or YouTube shorts, are a little softer, but have a comparable bounce. Although there are some differences in price, the bounce is usually slightly different. And all models are generally robust.
